Floral Gel Express Mask Review: A Great Mask with a Major Letdown

A Great Mask with a Major Letdown - the Ingredients

summarizeEditor's Summary

I got a 15ml sample size of the Floral Gel Express mask and was pretty stoked with the packaging - it seals tightly and securely. But here's the thing: the ingredients are a total letdown. I mean, I'm all about transparency when it comes to skincare, and this mask falls short. It's convenient to apply and leaves my skin feeling smooth, but the lack of info about the ingredients is a major deal-breaker for me. I used it for around 8 applications before it ran out, which is a decent amount of product for the price. Considering the sample size, I'd say it's a good value for money if you're looking for a quick fix. But honestly, I'm not sure if I'd recommend this mask to others due to the ingredients issue. I wish the manufacturer would be more upfront about what's in the mask.

A Great Mask with a Major Letdown - the Ingredients

I finally got around to writing a review about this mask. I got a 15ml sample size, which lasted me around 8 applications. I applied it thinly, and it's all gone now, so I can give you my thoughts. There's only one photo left, but the text was still in English, haha!

Product Overview This "Floral Gel Express" mask comes in a sleek blue plastic tube with a tightly closed lid. The packaging is convenient and well-made, so I feel confident taking it with me - it seals tightly and securely.

==============================================================================

The full-sized version contains 60ml and costs between 6-9 rubles. You can buy it here.

==============================================================================

This mask has a creamy-gel texture that spreads perfectly across my face. I only need a tiny bit, which makes it very cost-effective. I recommend applying it not just to your face, but also to your neck and décolletage area. It's easy to apply and feels nice on the skin.

Application and Effectiveness You need to leave it on for three minutes before gently wiping off any excess with a paper towel or cotton pad (no water required). This way, the active ingredients stay on your skin for longer and have a positive effect. You can also apply it around your eyes, and it suits all skin types, but especially dry, dull, and tired skin.

I used it once a week and at night, as some girls said it doesn't work well under makeup. I haven't tried applying it under makeup. There's definitely a lifting effect - my skin looks more toned.

Pros and Cons

Convenient and well-made packaging Easy to apply and feels nice on the skin Lifting effect - my skin looks more toned Suitable for all skin types, especially dry, dull, and tired skin

Questionable ingredients, including some not-so-natural components Price is way too high Some ingredients, like triethanolamine and phenoxyethanol, have potential health issues Not suitable for use under makeup

Ingredients I've gotta say, the ingredient list is a mixed bag. You've got some natural components, but then you also have some not-so-natural stuff. For the price, I expected something a bit more impressive. That's a definite minus, and it's costing them a star from me.

Dimethicone is a high-molecular-weight silicone that's great for dry skin and hair, but it's a total pain to wash out – it's not water-soluble at all.

It's sitting pretty at number three on the list (I'm curious, how much of it they actually used). Let's keep going and see what else we've got.

Let's take a closer look at the ingredients. It's got water, rose and iris extracts, castor oil, and sesame oil. Then there's sorbitol and butylene glycol, which are solvents used in the beginning and middle of the formula. PEG-40 is a stabilizer, and triethanolamine is a low-molecular weight amine that's been linked to potential health issues so I'd avoid using products with this ingredient - no thanks!. Carbomer-940 is a thickener, and while it's generally considered safe, it can potentially contain benzene and acrylic acid residues. Phenoxyethanol is a preservative that's been shown to have negative effects on skin health and even cause cancer. Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer is a polymer that's safe to use. Octoxynol-13 is an emulsifier that's actually bad for you. Sodium Methylparaben, chlorhexidine digluconate, methylparaben, butylparaben, ethylparaben, and propylparaben are all preservatives that can cause skin irritation and allergic reactions.

I have to admit, I was the one applying this to my skin. The thought of it is just horrific! I'm still in shock, to be honest. Thankfully, I didn't experience any allergic reactions. I'm just glad I didn't have a full-sized tube to deal with. I probably would have ended up covering myself in it.

I mean, I thought I was giving this product a high rating, but now I'm not so sure. I was thinking of giving it 4 stars, but now I'm not even sure if it deserves that. The price is way too high, and the ingredients are super questionable!

Despite the initial shock, I did notice some positive effects. However, I could get the same results with a much safer product at a lower price. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone, even though it's from a reputable brand. I'm actually pretty disappointed in this one. The effect it provides is mostly cosmetic and temporary. It doesn't have any real benefits for my skin. If you're looking for a safer and more effective option, I'd recommend checking out this instead.

Overall, I'd give this product 2.5 stars out of 5. While it has some positive effects, the questionable ingredients and high price make it a hard sell for me. If you're looking for a safer and more effective option, I'd recommend exploring other options.
