Yes, it DOES work, & EXCELLENTLY at that Yes, this product is amazing, and it does work. Yes, it is a little pricey, but honestly, what at ULTA isn't? Plus, the above reviewer must have been seriously misled if he/she rated this product only 2 stars because it "Only smoothed [her] skin, that's all"....it's not meant for just that, anyway.
If you clearly read its product description, you will see that this item is one of the few in the line that is less about actively targeting some problem area of skin, and more focused on working as a gentle, healing and soothing mask for those of us who DO consistently utilize the harsher, more active/ intense skin care products, like resurfacing face washes, wrinkle and fine line creams and serums, exfoliators, natural and synthetic, strong, skin brighteners/spot faders, and microdermabrasion and chemical peels (not to mention a host of acne solution products and makeup items). Those of us who do use these aforementioned skin products, especially on a consistent basis (which is what is recommended for best results), will inevitably encounter more severe skin irritation and redness than those utilizing these skin care routines on a less frequent bases.
Therefore, smart companies/lines like Thomas Peter Roth, have created softer, more "inactive" products intended for the sole purpose of countering the negative effects of the other, more potent products. Sometimes moisturizer alone every day isn't enough, especially for extremely sensitive skin undergoing intensive skin treatments during the summer...they need something additional to help cool down the painful burning sensation we sometimes experience after peels or even just simple facewashing. Kind of like aloe for sunburns (aloe vera, for example, is a simple and natural substance; you wouldn't expect it to transform your entire skin in any radical way. It just helps make skin pain and irritation a little more tolerable.) And that's exactly what this product by T.Roth does. Nothing more, nothing less. It's a little irritating it's so expensive, but it does live up to its word, which is what's most important. JMHO :)
No difference after 7 days of use! It's been a best-seller for years, it has glowing reviews and from an ingredients perspective, looked like a really good investment for my combination-oily, dehydrated skin which is prone to dullness. You have in here: papaya and pineapple which contain renewing enzymes, soothing Chamomile, good old Aloe vera, plus some brightening ingredients such as lemon. However in reality I'm not sure this mask did anything at all. To really give face masks a chance to work, I tend to use on consecutive days and allow the effect to build up, although by the end of the week I could not notice any discernible difference compared to day one. There was no brightening, not much difference in hydration and skin condition either. I really don't get why this didn't work for me. And I used it for at least 15 minutes each time. Perhaps the 'actives' in here are at extremely low concentrations? Who knows. It's exceptionally rare for me to come across a mask that does nothing...looks like I may have just found one! -> My 'Ulta Beauty Top 7 must-have list' (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Ulta) < - < 1.

I love this cucumber gel mask. We keep our container in the fridge so it goes on nice and cold. My husband and I are both runners and end up with pretty red faces after a run. This is our go-to product to calm down our skin and add back some hydration. At the very least, it feels amazing and my skin is noticeably softer after using.

I used this when I got sunburn on my face and needed something to help soothe it. I used it for 3 days and left it on overnight each time. It helped heal and hydrate my skin. I've used it since, when I didn't have sunburn, and loved how my skin felt in the morning. I will always have a jar of this handy.
Love this gel mask! 5

My skin is somewhat dry so I use this gel mask weekly to hydrate my skin. I see a noticeable difference after using it and my skin feels clean, fresh, and hydrated. I keep it in the refrigerator to get that extra cool feeling.
