Sisley Express Flower Gel Face Mask
I've got dry skin, and let me tell you, this Sisley Express Flower Gel Face Mask is a total game-changer. It's super easy to use - just slap it on, leave it for 10 minutes, and voila! Your skin's gonna be hydrated and feeling great. It's not just a quick fix, either - the results last. I've used it for a week now, and my skin's never looked or felt better.

Sisley's Steep Price for a Hydrating Face Mask - A Review with Photos
summarizeEditor's Summary
I was blown away by the price tag of this Sisley hydrating face mask - 7,560 rubles for a 60ml mask is just too steep. I mean, you'd expect some serious results from a product that claims to deliver intense hydration in just 3 minutes. Unfortunately, the mediocre results don't quite match the price. The build quality is solid, but that's about it. I used it for a week and was underwhelmed by the lack of noticeable improvements in my skin. There are better options out there for a fraction of the cost. If you're looking for a hydrating face mask, I'd recommend exploring other options before shelling out this kind of cash.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the price tag of this 'flower gel' from Sisley, which they claim is an intense hydrating mask that works in just 3 minutes. It's a pretty bold claim, especially considering the hefty price of 7,560 rubles for a 60ml mask, before any discounts. I mean, that's a pretty penny to pay for a product that's supposed to deliver results in just a few minutes.
Value for Money: Unfortunately, this mask is a major letdown when it comes to value for money. The price is just too steep, especially considering the mediocre results. I mean, you can get better value for your money elsewhere.
Mascara Texture:
The texture of this mask is a murky white gel-like fluid with a light floral scent. To be honest, it's not exactly what I'd call pleasant. It's a bit of a turn-off, to be frank.
Ingredients:
Breaking Down the Ingredients
The ingredients are listed in order of concentration, so the more you see at the top, the more of it is in the product. That's a good thing, I guess - at least they're transparent about it.
Water and rosewater take the top two spots, with water being the most abundant ingredient. That's not surprising, given the hydrating claims. I mean, it's a hydrating mask, after all.
Next up is dimethicone, which creates the illusion of smooth skin. But let's be real, it's just a bunch of chemicals. I'm not a fan of dimethicone, to be honest.
Then we have iris and lily extracts, a thickener, and PPG, an aggressive solvent that can irritate sensitive skin. Not exactly what I'd call a winning combination. I mean, it's a bit of a cocktail of chemicals, if you ask me.
Followed by castor oil derivative, sesame oil, and another, gentler solvent. It's a shame they didn't stop there. I mean, why not just keep it simple and use natural ingredients?
Then comes triethanolamine, a caustic surfactant that’s also used in paints, polishes, and cleaning products. Yeah, because what every skin care product needs is a little bit of paint. I mean, it's a bit of a red flag, if you ask me.
Due to its high pH and potential to convert into carcinogenic nitrates, it’s only recommended for use in rinse-off products. Otherwise, it may cause contact dermatitis and allergies. Great, just what I want - a product that can potentially give me cancer. That's a major concern, if you ask me.
And that’s not all - the manufacturer recommends applying this mask without rinsing, and then layering your usual moisturizer on top. Because who needs to actually clean their skin, right? I mean, it's a bit of a joke, if you ask me.
But wait, there’s more! Eight preservatives, three synthetic polymers, and a stearic acid derivative (a cheap, comedogenic ingredient that makes the product glide smoothly on the skin) follow. It's a never-ending list of chemicals. I mean, it's a bit of a nightmare, if you ask me.
My Verdict on the Ingredients: I'd say Sisley is really trying to gouge us on the price here. The only redeeming qualities are the rosewater, sesame oil, and castor oil, but they're not enough to make up for the irritating solvents, preservatives, and polymers. I mean, it's a bit of a trade-off, if you ask me.
My Experience:
This mask doesn’t fully absorb into my skin, leaving a sticky film behind. If I follow the manufacturer’s advice and don’t rinse it off, but instead just blot it with a towel and apply my usual moisturizer on top, it tends to roll off or wait for me to apply makeup. Not exactly what I'd call a successful application. I mean, it's a bit of a mess, if you ask me.
I’m not sure what the point of applying a product with so much dimethicone before your regular moisturizer is. It would be more logical to get a decent base for makeup (if you forget about the carcinogens). But hey, at least the dimethicone creates a smooth surface, right? I mean, it's a bit of a consolation prize, if you ask me.
When I do rinse it off, the hydrating effect is pretty mediocre, which isn’t surprising. The polymer film is washed away, and the supposed “hydration” effect disappears. It's like it never even happened. I mean, it's a bit of a letdown, if you ask me.
I’ve had better results with a homemade mask made from aloe vera and oils, which costs a fraction of the price and doesn’t come with a long list of harsh chemicals. It's a shame Sisley can't deliver the same results without breaking the bank. I mean, it's a bit of a shame, if you ask me.
My Final Verdict: This hydrating mask has a better ingredient list than a base for makeup, but is it worth the hefty price tag? No, it’s not worth it. I mean, it's a bit of a rip-off, if you ask me.
Thanks for stopping by!
I hope my review was helpful. If you're looking for a good hydrating mask, I'd recommend looking elsewhere. I mean, there are better options out there.
