I get exactly the same results every time I use this - which is a few times per week, they don't accumulate over time. Do I notice any improvement in hydration? I do, but not as much as I do with this very same brands' 'Floral Recovery Calming Mask', but then that one did nothing for flakiness/texture, so it seems I'll have to alternate between them, unless the Black Tea Overnight mask (next on my list) can step in for both. I hope it does, because frankly speaking I'm not sure if I can afford to use two of their masks on a long-term basis when they are priced so highly. -- My Top 10 Beauty Must-Haves

My main impression is that this is an overpriced, mediocre product.First off, the ingredients list isn't anything special. You can find the same ingredients in lower end products for significantly cheaper. That tingly feeling when you use this mask? Menthol. The same stuff in Icy Hot and other cooling products. I have nothing against menthol, but I don't want to be marketed a refreshing mask only to find that the ingredients that makes it feel so refreshing only costs a couple of pennies. On top of that, I feel like fresh markets itself as having, well, fresh and natural ingredients. Even if they don't outright say it, they definitely push that vibe. I don't really care one way or another what kind of ingredients they use as long as they work and aren't ... MoreMy main impression is that this is an overpriced, mediocre product.First off, the ingredients list isn't anything special.

I don't really care one way or another what kind of ingredients they use as long as they work and aren't overpriced, but fresh doesn't really use any more or less fresh ingredients than any other major skincare brand. They just charge more for the pretty packaging and fancy marketing.Now, as far as the mask itself goes? Ehhh, it's okay. Even if it were in a lower price range, I don't think I would repurchase. My skin doesn't feel any smoother or more moisturized when using it, it doesn't help with my acne, and there are other products with antioxidants--including black, white, and green tea-- that cost significantly less. This isn't a bad mask, but it certainly isn't a great mask either, and for almost $100 I better either be getting at least that much in quality or quantity, and this offers neither.

Always been a HUGE [brand:fresh] fan, have , , , (bomb.com btw, as is) . , immediate cooling sensation, texture feels AMAZING; the effects absolutely worth the price point. That’s what I love abt the brand. Their product claims are 100% accurate abs the some. After washing off, it was like I got a mini face lift, dark circle filler/concealer, and, To quote my BF, ‘softer than a babies bum.’ He forgot to say incredibly bright, glowing, the cool feeling let’s a while, increasing my mood. My only qualm is I felt a bit duped by the qty. I know it’s a glass container but feel the ‘walls’ /‘bottom’ are v thick; leaving u with an amount that’s ~ 10 uses, 7-8 if applied S instructed.

Cooling and calming

Got this in Sephora's birthday beauty gift last year and ended up enjoying it! It leaves a cooling sensation on the face even after rinsing it off. I have purchased the second bottle already. I'm not sure if it does anything significant for the face, I just enjoy using it and the clean feeling it gives me especially during this hot season. Wish it wasn't so pricey but managed to get it during the skincare promo period so that's great.

Game changer

The Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask has been a game changer in my skincare routine. Upon applying it to my face, I felt an immediate cooling sensation and noticed how smooth and soft my skin felt. The mask has a luxurious, creamy texture and a lovely subtle scent.I applied a thin layer to my face and left it on for about 10 minutes, allowing it to work its magic. After rinsing it off, my skin felt noticeably plumper, more hydrated, and had a radiant glow. I was amazed at the difference it made to my skin in just one use.I have since incorporated this mask into my weekly routine and have seen a significant improvement in the overall texture and appearance of my skin.

Great before a special event

While I'm not sure that this mask gives any "long term" results or benefits, plus it's pretty pricey (hence the one star off) it is a great mask to use before an event or night out. It gives my skin a nice smooth texture perfect for then applying makeup. It also feels cool and refreshing. I either use this or Tata Harper's Resurfacing Mask when I want my skin to look smooth and even before a special event. Definitely recommend.

Instant hydrating

This mask is so easy to use and you’ll get great results from it. You simply cleanse your face and pat dry then apply a thin layer to your skin and allow it to absorb into the skin for around 10 minutes then rinse off excess. It leaves my skin plump and hydrated, tightens pores and reduces the appearance of pores. It has a nice cooling sensation and a natural scent to it. Lovely experience to use

It’s Okay

This is an okay mask. I bought the 1oz size during the Fresh sale. It has a very cooling effect that feels like menthol. I think it’s probably good at temporarily reducing redness, but my face hasn’t had much redness so I haven’t seen much noticeable effect with this mask. I’ve left it on for around 20-30min, which is longer than the recommended time, which makes sense because the cooling feeling starts to feel a little uncomfortable at that point. I do like the texture. It’s very smooth and soothing under my hands, and an interesting texture for a wash off mask. Also this mask sinks in and goes on invisible and matte, so it has the perk of my being able to use it during work from home days/zoom calls/running downstairs to grab my mail/etc. From the reviews, I think ... MoreThis is an okay mask.

I am glad I didn’t splurge on the full size, and I do think it’s overpriced for what it is but I might appreciate it more if I had more redness or uneven skin tone. Not sure whether or not to recommend it—it’s a nice enough mask, but nothing magical, and I won’t repurchase at this price point.
