Garnier Hydra Bomb Pomegranate Tissue Mask Review

I've always been the type to shy away from masks/facial cleansers anything to do with cleansing, reason being I have very sensitive skin. When I was invited to trial the product I was at first weary but also thought it would be the best opportunity to finally break away from the bad habit and finally give my opinion.

Absolutely loved the packaging, very conveniant to use and easy to apply, as required I waited 15mins to let it work its magic, I was very happy with the end result, my skin was left firm, smooth and hydrated!!! The mask was refreshing and and smelt amazing!!! Would definitely use again

I really enjoyed using this mask. It has a pleasant, fruity scent, not at all chemically, and heaps of serum. It comes folded up and I struggled a bit unfolding it, as it was so covered in product, but once applied it was comfortable and fit my face well. I left it on for 15 minutes and afterwards there was a ton of product still left. I rubbed it into my face and neck and it felt sticky for about 5 minutes after.

Afterwards my skin looked noticeably more smooth, dewy and hydrated. I used this mask at night and in the morning my skin was visibly more hydrated than usual. I don't use sheet masks very often, but will probably pick this mask up again. I would recommend this if you like a sheet mask with lots of serum!

I was so excited to review this mask. I haven't tried a sheet mask in a long time so I was ready to delve in again. In particular the pomegranate extract intrigued me, as well as the promise of intensively rehydrated skin!

The packaging is pretty, easy to rip to get in to. The $4.99 price tag makes me think of it as more of a treat, but I love that you would be able to pick this up at the supermarket. I also love that they have teamed up with "TerraCycle" a leader in beauty recycling which is a cool idea.

Upon opening the package I wasn't that in love with the scent - just smelt like chemicals to me. Although it did smell slightly more sweet once I got it onto my face. I'm not sure the reason for having the blue protective film on it - just seemed unnecessary. It felt very gloopy but was easy to apply and sat on my face nicely. IT felt like a nice size and even fit over my five-head. Initially this feels like it will slide off your face so it is best to lean back while wearing (my arm got sore holding my iPad above my head playing a YouTube video). But eventually it dries down a wee bit and clings to your face better. Afterwards I massaged the excess formula into my skin then removed the rest with a cotton pad. To be honest I didn't notice that much difference in my skin straight away. However it did feel nicely moisturised, and I didn't have any issues of redness on my sensitive skin.

I like this and think I would purchase as a treat when travelling for dehydrated skin (but maybe not wear on the plane itself, might get some odd looks there). I also think this would make a nice treat to buy friends. In particular I think the best thing about things like this is taking 15min out of your day to look after yourself and not worry/think/do anything else.

I really really REALLY like this mask. It was easy to unfold and apply, there was only one layer of plastic to remove so it didn't feel like you were juggling a deal eel (strange comparison, but it works), and I didn't feel suffocated by it!! The scent was sweet but subtle, which is great in my opinion because right under your nose for 15 minutes doesn't need to be heavily scented or you can risk a headache. Once applied the mask smoothed to my skin very easily without leaving me looking like a serial killer. And I loved that the eye, mouth and nose holes were comfortable. I was able to use the excess gel-like mixture on my lips and on my neck to really get the most out of the product.

Wearing it for the 15 minutes was very comfortable, without having to worry about slippage. I was able to peel my mask off and feel hydrated right then. The packaging suggests either rubbing in the excess product or wiping it off with a cotton pad, I opted for the rubbing-it-in method. This was successful, however took a lot longer than I expected; after some light rubbing my face felt tacky/sticky, which got me worried, but after waiting it out for 10 minutes everything had sunk in 100% and dried off (extended time being the ONLY reason this doesn't have 5 stars), leaving my skin the softest it has been in a long time! My fiance wasn't sure he was even touching my me yet when he stroked my face kind of soft. The next morning my skin still feels plump and refreshed and ready to take on the world!!

I really enjoyed this product.

It was easy to apply with a blue protective film to help you position the mark. You then pull the blue film off. The mask was really moist so stuck to my skin easily. It has a serum-like texture.

I have super sensitive skin but didn't experience any issues with this mask which was such a relief. My skin felt moisturised and I noticed my makeup went on really smooth this morning.

I do find the claims about fine lines, plumper skin and radiant skin in one week to be a bit misleading. In the small print it says that this information came from a test of 54 women using the mask three times in one week. I personally don't know many people who would use a sheet mask three times a week. I think this mask is good for moisturising but wouldn't rely on the claims of plumping and reducing fine lines.

For me, the only thing that makes me hesitant to repurchase the product again is the packaging. It's not recyclable and I feel like it's more environmentally friendly to buy a mask in a jar. But I have just seen on the Garnier that they have just partnered with Terracyle with their partnership launching in 2018. When that kicks off I'd happily buy this product again!

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 was excited to get on this trial as my skin is super dry and dull at the moment. I have flakey skin on my cheeks and especially around my nose. It is also quite sensitive. The mask comes in an attractive foil packet and you simply tear the top off to remove it. It is soaked in serum, lots of product which I liked. I did a patch test first and put a little bit of serum on my jaw to make sure it didn't burn my skin. No issues at all so I then applied the tissue side to my face and peeled off the blue layer. Adjusted so it sat properly then sat back and relaxed for 15 minutes. It felt very cooling and had a subtle fresh scent.

I found it was easy to apply and the holes actually lined up to my face. When the time was up I gently peeled it off, there was a lot of serum left on my face so I massaged it in and any leftover went on my neck. It did not leave any sticky feeling at all which was great and boy did my skin feel soft!

The next morning my skin was still baby soft and had a wonderful glow. I loved using this mask and feel it is amazing for dry skin. I would definately use this again and think this is a winner from Garnier. Huge thumbs up from me.

As I have not been a "mask" person previously, this opportunity provided much excitement to experiment. I was not disappointed. The product came in compact packaging which was attractive, instructions were simple and easy to follow and the quick-open tear-off was ideal.

The fragrance which greeted me was fresh and clean, very appealing. The mask itself was generously infused with serum. I wear glasses to to apply both layers was a slight challenge, but once I peeled off the protective film I could easily adjust the tissue to fit my face properly.

Fifteen minutes' relaxation - bliss. The mask was cooling, soothing and yet invigorating. My skin is dryish these days, a combination of ageing as well as climate. Immediately my skin felt replenished and refreshed.

After the rest time I removed the tissue and yet there was ample serum remaining to be massaged all over my facial area and well down my neck. Beautiful. This dried quite quickly and the pleasant, fresh feeling remained.

When I saw these great masks are only $4.99 I chastised myself for not having used them regularly before - yes, this will be a permanent buy for me. Thank you.
