Rael

 Glutathione + Vitamin C Hydrogel Mask

I use sheet masks fairly often, about a couple times a week, so I enjoyed trying out this new sheet mask from Rael. I liked the hydrogel material, it felt cooling and comfortable, and it didn't slip and slide everywhere which is usually an issue with this type of mask. After using it, my skin looked more hydrated, plump, and noticeably more radiant, so it was super helpful using it before applying my makeup. My only issue with this sheet mask would be that the brightening effects it advertises were pretty subtle. So while my face looked fresher and glowier immediately after use, I didn't really notice any dramatic improvement in my stubborn dark spots or uneven skin tone from a single mask use or from using one whole pack. I think continued use would provide better results, but that may be an investment since these types of hydrogel masks are more expensive than the traditional sheet masks. But honestly, I'd still recommend it if you're looking for hydration and a temporary glow boost. It was a nice little self-care treat that left my skin feeling refreshed and smooth. However, if you're looking for overnight results for your hyperpigmentation or discoloration, there are more potent products out there for that.

The Rael Beauty GLUTATHIONE + VITA C HYDROGEL MASK is an amazing mask that works to brighten skin and help fade discoloration. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this mask! I popped it in my fridge for a cooling element, and the textured side of the mask is place on the skin and it uses anti-slip grip so it doesn't slide on the face! You can wear the sheet mask for 30+ minutes! Also, the mask also uses technology that fades clear when the product is fully absorbed. Afterwards I was visibly brighter and my skin felt taut! After doing some research I learned the mask contains Glutathione which is a naturally occurring peptide that helps neutralize free radicals, along with anti-aging and brightening properties. Truly a standout mask that's perfect for my needs! I definitely plan on keeping this in my rotation! I received as a part of an educational promotion.

*I received this product as part of an educational promotion, and in exchange for my honest review. Typically, I don't take the time out of my day to do face masks, as I've never used any that genuinely felt like a benefit towards my skin. Upon trying this face mask, I loved the texture of the mask and has no problems with it wanting to slip or come off. I followed the instructions and left it on for 30 minutes. During that time, I could feel the way my skin absorbed the producy and it felt both very refreshing, and cooling. I love how you can tell when it's time to take the mask off as it becomes more transparent. The first time I used it was at night, and I fell asleep with the product still on my face. The very next day, my face looked and felt so much more hydrated. It looked brighter, even under my eyes, where I struggle with dark circles. The next time I used it was in the morning, before I got ready to do my makeup. Once again, my face looked very bright, felt hydrated, and gave me glass-looking skin. My makeup felt very smooth going on, and helped give me a glowly look during the day. With all this to say, I love this product and have now fell in love with face masks. I've been on the lookout for trustworthy face masks for awhile now, but couldn't seem to justify the price of alot of competitors and their reps. However, for a pack of 4 and the results I have firsthand seen with these products, I can now confidently say I've found facemasks I will now consistently use and buy!

My biggest issue when using hydrogel masks as such is the fact that it slips and slides everywhere till it starts to dry down a bit. Makes doing work or sitting at a desk more annoying than it should be because it normally slips. Rael however, has a unique design to their masks that ensure it doesnt slip around and has little slits at the mouth and eye areas so I can talk and blink and yawn and it will not move or fall off. The product itself is amazing but will need consistent usage to see results but the hydration can be seen the second you take off the mask! Incentivised review!

I have tried enough sheet masks to know that not all of them are created equal, and this one immediately felt like a step above. You can tell when a brand uses higher quality materials, and the mask itself felt substantial and well made rather than that thin, flimsy paper that slides around and feels like it is disintegrating halfway through wear. I especially liked that it came in two pieces, which made it so much easier to fit comfortably and actually stay in place. After using it, my skin felt noticeably softer, smoother, and had that healthy, fresh glow that makes you stop and look in the mirror a second longer. It felt hydrating without being heavy or sticky, and my skin looked more refreshed afterward. This definitely felt like one of those masks where the quality of the ingredients comes through in the experience.
