Still catching up on my reviews and today’s review is for the Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Gel Mask.
This mask is very similar to the Cucumber Gel Mask but I do prefer it. It has a lovely rose fragrance and I am a fan of florals, although I know many people are not. It also applies exceptionally smoothly for me. The Cucumber Gel Mask has a very slight tackiness and drag that this mask lacks, and my fingertips glide across my face like Yuzuru Hanyu on freshly shaved ice as I apply it. The combination of those two details means that while the Cucumber Gel Mask puts me in mind of applying Aloe + Lidocaine after excessive sun exposure when I was a kid, the Rose Stem Cell Mask reminds me of a relaxing spa experience. The mask is described as “a reparative, soothing gel mask, powdered by rose stem cell technology, that helps diminish visible signs of aging” and is suggested to help with fine lines and wrinkles; dullness and uneven texture; and dryness. I applied the mask to freshly cleansed skin using my fingertips and left it on for 10 minutes, then removed with cool water and a Makeup Eraser cloth. While I did end up with soft, smooth, plump skin, the effects were mild and unremarkable. It is a nice mask for hydration but since the weather is so hot and humid right now hydrated skin isn’t really a concern for me at this time. Regardless, I do like this mask and see it being one that I will return to happily when I want to relax and enjoy some “me time”.
This was such an interesting review, @Alphaboo. Your comparisons with the aloe gel as a kid (oh yes, I remember that stuff) is so helpful, especially for someone who hasn't tried it. I just love your photos of the actual mask, again 😉
So good for you to get in some me time @Alphaboo! 🤗
@Alphaboo Can’t wait to use it! Thanks for your review 😊 🌹
Thanks for the informative review @Alphaboo
@Alphaboo What a great review -so descriptive! Im so happy to hear you enjoyed it! 😃🌹
Your fingertips gliding is an amazing visual @Alphaboo. About how much do you apply, quarter size?
Yes, @ShortErica, a mounded quarter-sized dollop is pretty much a perfect description of the amount I used!
Finally getting around to posting this! I received this set as gratis from Sephora and Peter Thomas Roth.
I found this mask to be easy to apply and to remove. After removing, my skin did look fresher.
It’s important to mention that I am almost 8 months pregnant any my hormones haven’t played so nice with my skin.
Despite all this, I didn’t notice any additional breakouts, but I also didn’t notice anything particularly wowing. I definitely want to give this a few more tries, as well as to see if my results change when using this not pregnant. WIll definitely report back and give a final verdict.
Wow @rockstargina you are almost there! My hormones wrecked havoc with my skin when I was pregnant, so much more than when I was a teenager. I'm so happy for you to start the next part of your life with your little one 🙂
Awww @rockstargina, you’re adorbs! Will be so interesting to see how you like it when you are not pregnant.
@rockstargina 8 months? You're almost there! You look adorable! Sorry this one wasn't wowing for you. I agree that it's not a life changer, but I do like how soft and smooth it makes my skin feel!
Congratulations on the upcoming new arrival!
Thank you! It’s crazy to think in about 7 weeks my daughter will be here and I will have 2 babies under 2! 😳
@rockstargina I've been there! My boys are 20 months apart and I can't say it was easy right at first, but you eventually find your groove and get into a routine that works. 😃Hang in there momma! 😘
I’m so excited for all the pregnant BIC ladies. You look like you are doing well @rockstargina. I’ll be curious if you try this again, both pregnant and after the baby arrives. Thanks for your review!
Thanks for the review @rockstargina! This mask is one of my personal favorites but different skin types do respond in different ways which is why it is nice to have so many people post their thoughts.
B is for Brightening- another one from Masks on the Move!
Haruharu Maqui Berry Brightening Mask
This is a white cotton sheet mask that is thin-medium in thickness and was saturated with serum. The scent on this was not my favorite, and was just a bit too much for me - it sort of smelled like a mix of things, but what I picked up was wine berry and brown rice, mixed with a hint of sweet and floral. The fit was pretty much too big all the way around the mask, but had good adherence and was comfortable to wear. I kept it on for about a half hour. When I removed it the little bit of serum that was left was only slightly tacky but absorbed very quickly. My face looked noticeably brighter and had a nice glow - and my skin felt soft, smooth and hydrated.
If not for the scent I would definitely buy more of these.
Look at the artwork on this... whatever that thing is she's riding, I like that it's wearing a suit and tie and I like that she's wearing mask while riding it - that's some dedication!😂
