Garnier Hydra Bomb Pomegranate Tissue Mask Review

I was lucky enough to trial this mask, having never tried a tissue mask before. The mask when first applied was very cold, but did feel refreshing, and it warmed as I sat back and relaxed and let it do its magic. I left it on for about 20 minutes, and once the tissue was removed, I gently massaged the residue into my face and neck. About an hour later, I noticed that my skin appeared smoother and moisturised. I put my usual night cream on before bed and next morning, my skin definitely looked hydrated, and I would certainly use it again, especially if I had a special function.

I tried out the Garnier Hydrabomb Pomegranate Tissue Mask on Friday night while the rest of the family were watching a movie. It meant I could have some quiet time, plus I didn’t scare the rest of the family just before bed time while I was wearing my mask (I felt a bit like Hannibal Lector) ;-). The mask was well and truly soaked in serum, definitely no skimping there so it’s great value for money. The mask has a lovely smell which is always a positive when you’re putting something on your face for any period of time. The directions were very clear and it was easy to put the mask on my face and also to remove. The mask was a good size and it easily covered my face.

The 15 minutes passed by extremely quickly and then it was time to remove the mask. Once removed there was still a fair amount of serum on my face which I partially rubbed in and partially removed with a face cloth.

My skin felt fantastic after my Friday night facial, it felt extremely soft to touch and definitely felt moisturized. It also felt great the next morning when I woke up.

I loved that it was such a quick and easy option for a facial and the impressive results it produced for the price, definitely a lot less expensive than a salon facial. I just need to find someone to give me a shoulder massage while I’m wearing it so it matches a salon facial ;-).

I love being pampered and putting masks on comes into this category. Although it's not something I do a lot, it's something I look forward to. So I was really looking forward to trying this.

The mask comes in a blue funky wrapper and it just looks like it will be relaxing.

I open the mask and I slowly and carefully apply to my face. It says to leave for 15 mins so I go and relax. It's gentle and doesn't sting my sensitive skin.

The smell is very subtle, which is nice. It just smells fresh and pleasant. After the time is up I take the mask off my face. My skin feels hydrated and soft. It's quite nice and makes my skin feel moisturized and makes it look healthy and rejuvenated. After a while I do notice my skin looks refreshed and the texture has improved. A nice mask!

Thanks BR for this trial! I was so excited to try this new mask by Garnier...my skin is always so dry so any new hydrating product my eyes light up! Not only does it state that this gives you 24h of hydration (based on 3 applications a week so a little tricky to judge with only one use) but its enriched with pomegranate which should give a radiant and rejuventated complexion.

I love how easy it was to open the packet, but unfolding and applying the mask was opposite in my experience. The mask was absolutely sopping with product which made it hard to handle and open. Applying the mask was tricky as well, I found that the cut outs were too small but it wasn't until I removed the outer layer that I could actually manoeuvre the mask where it needed to go.

Anyway, 15minutes later (as per recommended time) I took the mask off. The mask didnt feel too dry..there was still a little bit of product on there so I'm thinking I could have gone for 20minutes. My face was covered in product so the packet recommends to massage excess into skin then remove with a cotton pad. I did both. Within a couple of minutes I would never have guessed that I had just used a hydrating face mask. Whilst my face looked rejuvenated & brightened, my skin felt sooo tight. Another mask would have been handy to try as I would love to know whether skipping out the "remove with cotton pad" step would make all the difference.

The next day, unfortunately, my skin didnt feel any different to what it felt like before I used the mask.

I was lucky enough to be chosen to trial this mask. I have dry skin, and I have been using masks once a week for the past few months for extra hydration. I wanted to trial this mask because the ones I have been using I have purchased online, and I was interested in trialling one I can get locally.

Unlike other tissue masks I have used, this one comes with a protective film. You apply the mask to your face while the film is on the outside. The film makes it very hard to position the mask on your face. Once it is off, the mask is much easier to position, but is still a bit bunch and saggy around the eyes and nose.

The mask feels wonderfully cool and soothing, and would feel lovely on at the end of a hot day. I wore mine for 20 minutes. The instructions say that you can either wipe of the excess product, or massage it into your skin. I massaged it in.

My skin felt moisturised and refreshed after wearing this mask. I can see myself buying this mask in future and using it again.

I was buzzing to try this. So cheap only $5 but unfortunately it did nothing for my skin. Nothing! After thoroughly cleansing my face I then open the mask which is saturated, which I actually liked. I found it easy as to apply and easy to smooth it out onto my face, I love the smell!! I let it sit for 20 minutes and scared the cp out of my toddler. It felt lovely on the skin during the 20mins. I have oily skin but it does feel dry at times and I was so keen to find something that not only made my skin look hydrated but feel hydrated and something affordable. I would give this mask 5 stars even if the result only lasted a day, you get what you pay for and I wasted $5. Might try the other ones out!

This is the second one of these masks I have used and I really like them. This one is infused with hyalyronic acid, pomegranate extract and hydrating serum. In the format of a face shaped tissue soaked in this lovely, cooling, super hydrating ingrdients, my skin was left plump and glowing. My skin is sensitive, and this was perfectly fine during and after usage. I applied after a light exfoliation and my skin looked amazeballs.

Now this could be bias because I love my tissue masks. This is packaged in a large component and it is a large mask once opened it firs to my face just right which isn't always the case as I have a rather large face. It has alot of product and is quite wet. When applying it does make a bit of a nuisance but a small price to pay. I left it on for 20mins and used the excess product to spread around uncovered skin. ( I do this often with product from masks) very cooling to skin it was a nice relief to wear. At completion my skin felt soft and cool. I was happy. There were no side effects from this but anything that was different my skin looked d clam and felt cool and refreshed.

I have been using another one of these masks in the range and decided to switch it up and try this particular one. For normal to dehydrated skin, mine being sometimes sensitive to dry. I find these products extremely cold and ikky to apply but then soothing and nourishing after you get over the initial shock treatment. I find the eye area to not be quite the right shape for me and try to manipulate the tissue so that my droopy hoods are compensated. I sit in the mask for approximately 10-20, preferably with the light off listening to Chopin Nocturnes, eating fava beans and drinking a nice Chianti. Afterwards, my skin feels thoroughly hydrated and nourished.

I love face masks. I’m not loyal to one mask I like to use different masks for different purposes.

This claims hydration and it does deliver but I find the effects are short lived. But in saying that I would do this mask again if I felt the need for a boost.

It’s got a lot of the hydrating solution on the mask and dripped a little bit for me but at least it wasn’t dry. It wasn’t that well cut around the lip and nose hole I had to keep pressing it down I felt it wasn’t quite cut enough to fit the form of my face.. but enough gets covered despite this. It’s cooling and doesn’t aggravate my sensitive skin. My skin after felt soft and plump.

I just wish the effect was longer lasting. I feel like some serums I have used pack more of a moisture punch leaving my skin feeling refreshed until morning but this wasn’t that long lasting so I might try their other garnier mask next time and see if I find the results any better.

In saying that it’s a great price, relaxing and does work at the time maybe my dry skin just sucked it all up it was that desperate for moisture.
