LOVE the Pumpkin mask @itsfi . Such a standout. I'm in agreement about the cucumber as well, it's better for me as a sleeping mask when it's not so cold and dry outside. Great gratis to get to try them all. I wish all brands would follow their lead and make sets like this.
Sampler mask sets are great @missjeanie; they really give you a good trial of the masks!
Thanks for your PTR thoughts @itsfi. Even meh sounds okay for certain times. What’s your 2nd favorite? 😉
@ShortErica, my favorite PTR masks are (in no particular order): Peter Thomas Roth Pumpkin Enzyme Mask Enzymatic Dermal Resurfacer 5 ozPeter Thomas Roth FIRMx™ Exfoliating Peel Gel 3.4 oz/ 100 mLPETER THOMAS ROTH - Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask. 😃
Thanks for sharing @itsfi. I appreciate your opinions.
Thanks for the great reviews @itsfi . I'm glad to hear the Pumpkin mask worked great and I need to try it next. I also like the Irish moor mud mask to unclog my pores.
The cucumber gel mask is good for after sun treatment. I usually store it in my fridge and this could nicely calm the redness down.
@Sodayui, the pumpkin mask is very good and smells amazing! I’ll definitely give the cucumber mask a try after a day in the sun. 👍🏼
We love to hear about how you're enjoying & mixing and masking! Definitely good to try Cucumber as an overnight mask for an extra bit of hydration.
Thank you so very much for this amazing gratis @peterthomasroth! 🤩 I’ve given this set before as gifts and received one as well. I packed them for my work trips this week so they’ll be put to good use! Thank you again for your generosity! 💗💕
These two are my favorites of the set, @itsfi but I definitely still need to try @PrettyPaint 's idea of using the cucumber as a sleeping mask. Hopefully that one will work a little better for you later in the summer.
@quspork Can't wait to hear what you think about using it as a sleeping mask. I actually hadn't even thought about using it as a sleeping mask until @Loretta55 mentioned it. I don't think the little tube says anything about keeping it on overnight, but the description on the sephora website does mention to leave it on overnight for intensive treatment. My skin happens to like aloe quite a bit, so I think that's why I've had good luck with this one.
Thanks for the great review @itsfi. I have to say that my favorites from the set are definitely the pumpkin and irish mud as well! They have the most noticeable results for me.
@itsfi of all the masks in the set, the pumpkin one seems to be the fave. I am looking forward to trying this one out.
@GalPalVal17, the pumpkin and Irish moor mud masks are my favorites from the set. I’ll be interested in hearing your thoughts on the pumpkin mask.
Definitely agree with your masking experience @itsfi! Even with my skin sensitivity, I still loved the effects of the Pumpkin Enzyme Mask. My skin felt so velvety smooth!!! I would probably only use it ever few months though because I don't think my skin could take that every week. The Cucumber Mask was good to bring some much needed hydration back to my skin, but I wouldn't go buy the full size mask.
@sephoraaddict918, I definitely like using a hydrating mask following an exfoliating mask like the pumpkin one but like you, the PTR cucumber mask is not one I’d run out to buy to perform that function. Do you have a go to hydrating mask you like?
My current go-to hydrating wash off masks are the MEMEBOX Cake My Day and DEARPACKER Black Tea and Black Rose Mask, @itsfi. I slather on a thick layer, let it sit for 20 minutes, then massage the product into my face. Then, I top it off with a hydrating sheet mask because my dry skin can never get enough moisture. The sheet masks from Mamonde, TONYMOLY Master Lab, and DearPacker are some current faves They are affordable and have sooooooo much serum!!!!
Oooh good to know about the Dearpacker @sephoraaddict918, I’ve been eyeing that one for quite awhile now. I didn’t know a mini set existed now I will have to seek that out!
Oh, that’s good to know @sephoraaddict918. I have a set of mini DearPacker wash off masks, including the black tea and black rose mask you mentioned. I’ve wanted to give that one a try and am even more excited to now. 😃
great masking @itsfi and I agree this is a fab combo! Love an exfoliating mask followed by something calmer!I agree on both masks as well ! I've always loved the pumpkin one and have the full size but I've tried the cucumber a few times and I never felt motivated to buy
@Kim888, at some point I will pick up a FS of the pumpkin mask; I have been able to get by on lots of DS of it for a while. 😊 I’m not sure how to make the cucumber mask 🥒 work in a way that makes me want to reach for it.
