Hello beauties, this is gonna be the last review of the Peter Thomas Roth Skinstant Mask Set, and it's about the ever-so-famous Cucumber Gel Mask. I know that a lot of you beauty junkies have already tried it and loved it, but I have some mixed opinions about this one and let me just be completely honest here with you all: I will not repurchase it.
New Makeup New Look
I actually bought the whole set because of this mask. As I said before I have heard so much about this mask and I just have to see what the fuss was all about, and the verdict: not worth the hype and the money! Surprisingly, the Pumpkin Enzyme Mask and the Rose Stem Cell one are the hits for me. I will definitely be repurchasing the Pumpkin one because it is just a good skin in a jar, probably not the Rose one but I do like it. Click the links above to see the full deets of these two if you are interested.
Back to the Cucumber Mask, this one is claimed as an "extreme detoxifying hydrator", and the gel helps to soothe, hydrate, and detoxify dry, irritated skin with botanical extracts of cucumber, papaya, chamomile, pineapple, sugar maple, sugarcane, orange, lemon, bilberry and aloe. Now that to me is a pretty big statement, and frankly I really don't know about all that. It does hydrate yes, but that's about it. It feels pretty refreshing and soothing, sinks in fast, by the time I get to my chin the product on my forehead is already absorbed so that's cool. I do like the fact that it is packed with all the fruit and veggie ingredients but do bear in mind that it has parabens in it, so if you are someone who is against that then this is definitely not for you.
This mask is apparently created for treating under eye puffiness as well, but I suggest you NEVER EVER put this stuff even near your eye contour areas because it will sting your eye balls out. OMG I put a thin layer under my eyes last week for, you know "reducing the puffiness" but it just burnt and stinged my eyes so bad (and I don't even have sensitive eyes) to the point that tears came out, my eyes were so red and I had to remove the mask immediately. I am not happy about this and I say no one should ever use this as an under eye mask. Just don't!
The good news is that you can sleep in with this mask if you put a thin layer on, although I wouldn't do it just because I don't like overnight masks because of the stickiness. I don't like to get it all over my pillow but if that is not an issue for you then be my guest.

So the verdict: not worth the hype, certainly not the money, and definitely not a repurchase for me. My John Masters Organic hydrating mask is way better, just FYI if you need a recommendation for a good hydrating mask.
That's it guys, that's my thoughts on the Cucumber Mask by Peter Thomas Roth. If you wanna know how I think of the other two masks in the set then click the links above. Let me know which one is your fav by commenting or tweeting/instagramming @eflicciardello. I actually bought the whole set because of the cucumber one but sadly it is the most disappointing one. Anyways let me know what you think of it cuz I certainly was not impressed.
Have a lovely day and see you soon! xoxo
