My Experience
Garnier products do not usually appeal to me. But as I said, the sachet style impressed me. Since there are not many options when it comes to use-and-throw packs and masks from known brands, I found Garnier to be a much safer bet than some unknown company.
This is a thick and sticky gel consistency face mask. Each pack has enough quantity to cover face and neck. It has a pleasant, citrusy smell and is lemon-yellow in color. Please tie your hair away from the face before applying this mask or be prepared to peel off some hair too! It is a little messy to take the gel from the sachet since it is quite sticky. So if you are at home and not travelling, it is better to transfer the gel to another bowl and then use. It is quite easy to apply on the face though you cannot layer it much as it is a mask. As in the case of all masks, this one too has to be applied evenly so that it can be peeled off easily.
Though the instructions ask you to keep it for 15 minutes, mine took 25 minutes to dry properly. While the mask is drying, it is a good idea to keep your mouth shut and not talk much!
This will further help the mask to set properly. I am telling this because once this mask was on my face, I had this uncontrollable need to convey so many things within that short span of time. So I did chatter, albeit in slow motion!Fortunately, it had set properly as I was able to actually peel it off at the end of 25 minutes
. Most other face masks that I have used in the past failed in this aspect miserably! So I loved how it came off as a peel! I also loved its after-effects. My skin looked and felt clean and fresh; and as a result, also brighter! I think that since I was able to peel it off in almost-one piece, the mask was able to lift the dirt and grime from deep down my pores. On removing the mask, skin does not feel dry or stretchy. However, I did feel the need to moisturize after a while. The brightening effect is however temporary but I would surely recommend this as a quick fix for an occasion or function, or while travelling. Overall, I am happy to find atleast one Garnier product that actually works for me! Pros
- Brightens complexion
- Skin looks clean and fresh
- Claims to contain pure lemon essence
- Sachet packaging - ideal to use while travelling
- Use and throw, so convenient
- Enough quantity for single-time use
- Actually comes off as a peel
- Dermatologically tested
- Affordably priced
- A good quick fix
Cons
- Effects do not last long
- A bit messy to take the sticky gel from the sachet
Overall Impression
I liked this Garnier mask and would recommend it as a quick fix for occasions and functions. The use-and-throw sachet styling makes it excellent to use while travelling too.
