Garnier Hydra Bomb Pomegranate Tissue Mask Review

Garnier SkinActive Hydra Bomb Tissue Mask was not a great product for me.

The packaging was appealing, appeared fresh and promised hydrated skin suitable for all skin types.

In reality, the mask left my face feeling tight and I needed to remove the product and apply facial oil and moisturiser afterwards to try and make my skin feel better.

The smell of the product is too strong, and the mask itself felt way to heavy on my face. I had to take it off by the ten minute mark. I have used facial masks before, so know this felt out of the norm heavy to me.

Unfortunately I have really nothing to offer in support of this product, not for my skin anyway. My skin is not especially dry but even if it was, this product claims to rehydrate intensely, it should not have left me feeling tight and more dried out than before I applied it!

I've used many sheet masks at home but I think this is my least favorite in a long time. The mask was hard to unfold, didn't fit well across my face and it kept slipping off. I eventually took it off as it was annoying and taking away from my relaxing bath. Such a shame.

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.

Not a fan of the texture or the smell. Cheap but not all that cheerful! Be careful when opening the package + when trying to unfold the mask, not a very user friendly option. Don’t really see any difference to my skin and if I did it would probably outweigh the other issues. Wouldn’t purchase again.

I wish there wasn't such a wasteful amount of serum in these packets I think this mask is ok but I would only ise again if someone have it to me I wouldn't buy it I think there are alot better masks that actually are quite hydrating and feel amazing on the skin I just thought this was ok nothing special

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!

My skin is really dry so I was quite excited to be chosen to trial this product, designed to hydrate dehydrated skin for 24 hours!

The mask comes in a nice blue pouch, it was easy to open, however there was so much product on the mask it went all over my hands was quite messy, definitely recommend using this in the bathroom and not the couch like I did!

I pressed the sheet mask onto my skin and left it for the recommended 15 minutes. It sat in place quite well and didn't slide off. It removed easily but did leave a lot of product on my skin after removal, instructions were to gently rub into the skin (far too much product to do this) or to use a cotton pad (a better idea, I just ended up using a towel).

Results - My skin did feel hydrated after but upon waking up the next morning I didn't notice any lasting results either in my skins hydration or complexion. This is the kind of product I would throw into gift packs for others, or use on a pamper evening but would probably not purchase for regular use.

I have reasonably dry skin at the moment (apparently an age thing??) But it usually isn't sensitive so I was quite interested to try this mask. First impressions it has a light pleasant fragrance, and the serum on the tissue had a nice feel to it. Putting the mask on I thought I was going to have issues with the fit until I took the blue film off, then it was easy to manipulate to the contours of my face. It was cold, but not unpleasant. I left it 15 minutes as recommended them removed it. There was a lot of serum left in my face so after trying to rub it in I removed the excess with cotton balls. As I'm not prone to sensitive skin, I was surprised to see the area around my nose was quite red. I hadn't noticed any stinging during the 15 minutes so I wondered if maybe it had reacted with the remnants of my cleanser?? The rest of my skin felt nicely hydrated. The redness went away by the next morning, and my skin still felt nice so it worked in that regard. Not sure that I would try it again, the redness took away any positives for me.

Loved the sound of this mask, Hydrabomb Tissue Mask, makes me think it would totally hydrate my dry skin. I quite liked the colour and look of the packaging.

So I pulled the sopping mask out of the packaging, was very messy and had a wee bit of trouble unfolding it. Was very sloppy and slippery and nearly dropped it on the floor haha. So once I had it unfolded I placed onto my face slowly and as per instruction.

It was a bit difficult to get it to fit properly and I found that I need to cut an extra slit in the eyeholes as I ended up getting the stuff in both my eyes! It actually didn't sting though so that's all good. It took me a while to get it sitting properly and once done I slowly peeled off the blue layer. My partner laughed at me as I did look quite silly, but I went and watched some TV for the 15 minutes and let it soak it.

I really didn't enjoy the feeling and I had to keep readjusting the mask as it kept losing it's "stick" around my chin and around the edges.

Once I removed it I gently massaged some of what was left on my face into my skin, although I did have to remove some as there was quite a lot of it. My skin did feel refreshed and hydrated though so it did what it said it would, however this morning my skin doesn't really feel much different, maybe using it on a regular basis would make a difference?

Not too sold on this product, its a bit annoying to use and takes a bit of time. It did hydrate my skin at the time but not sure about boosting radiance and evening complexion, this may happen with more use.
