m-61 Hydraboost HA Gel Mask - Ultra hydrating and restorative gel mask with vitamin B5, passionflower and white tea extract

This is a review of “M-61 Hydraboost HA Gel Mask - Ultra hydrating and restorative gel mask with vitamin B5, passionflower and white tea extract.”This “mask” dispenses as a clear gel. Following the directions on the label, I use a generous amount (three dabs - each about the size of a dime) on my cheeks and my forehead. This was enough to feel like I had full coverage on my entire face as I rubbed and spread it in. The gel feels a little tacky as it dries, but within about five minutes, I couldn’t feel much product on my face. It absorbs quickly. If I use it before bedtime, I don’t rinse it off. But if it’s a morning application, I rinse it off after about 10-15 minutes. I don’t think this would work well beneath makeup. The little bit of tackiness might interfere with smoothing makeup.My face felt refreshed and moisturized after using the gel mask. I haven’t seen any dramatic results, but my face liked it. It looks like you can use this every two days (48 hours).

The m-61 Hydraboost HA Gel Mask is packed with ingredients to help deeply hydrate, tone, smooth, and plump skin. It's made in the US, and is free from phthalates, paraben, sulfates, dyes, and fragrance. It's also vegan and gluten free, and is not tested on animals. All of these things made me really want to love this product, but so far I can truthfully only say that it is okay and hasn't irritated my skin.I love HA, my skin loves HA, so I'm not concerned over that ingredient. However, on the ingredients list, the third ingredient listed is glycolic acid. Glycolic acid can be harsh and strong if you aren't used to using it, and isn't supposed to be used daily starting out. My issue is that it's high up on the ingredients list, yet it doesn't list what the percentage is. This is important for those of us with sensitive skin. The fourth ingredient is ascorbic acid, which I believe is a form of Vitamin C, so just be aware of these two ingredients if you have sensitive skin.This mask is a thick, clear gel. A little bit goes a very long way- so there's no need to apply generously like the packaging states. In fact, applying generously is quite messy due to how incredibly sticky this gel is. Small amounts do seem to absorb quickly, but it still leaves skin uncomfortably sticky. I can't see this not being washed off after use, nor can I see it wearing well under makeup if you were to not wash it off. Despite this, the instructions say rinsing it off is optional.It also recommends using this on clean, dry skin. I don't debate the "clean" aspect, but it is pretty widely known that HA works best on damp skin. So that seemed a little problematic to me. HA on dry skin can make it less effective at best, and dry your skin out more at worst.I guess what I'm getting at is that all these contradictory statements makes me sort of wary, despite the nice sounding ingredients list. Add to that list the fact that the independent study they reference only involves 30 participants.I used this mask before bed, though I did use on damp skin and wash the mask off after about 15 minutes, following up with my regular moisturizer. Unfortunately, I did not really notice a big difference in how my skin looked the next morning. I did try it out 3 times, and it just doesn't do much for me. I also really can't get past how sticky it is.For these reasons and what the current listed price is, I can say I would not purchase myself.

Ultra Hydrating Gel Mask with Vitamin B5, Passionflower, and White Tea Extract.The bottle is a nice, generous size for numerous applications. I found the gel to be quite sticky to where it sits on the skin but does not absorb, even if left on overnight. I had to do my weekly deep cleansing and exfoliating routine in the morning to remove the sticky gel and the residue. My hair kept sticking into it, as well as leaving a residue on my pillowcase.I'm going to see how well this works as part of my weekly facial routine, where I use this prior to the deep cleansing, leaving on for a half hour or so. I'll update if this works out better and whether or not I get moisturizing benefits.

I tend to use this type of product at night. You only need a small amount of this M-61 Hydraboost HA Gel Mask. I just dot a small amount on my face and then rub it around. Since I am using this at night after cleaning my face I don’t rinse it off. If you use too much your face might feel tacky. This is meant to help with hydration as well as with fine lines. I am hoping that is the case with more use as who wouldn’t want to have plumper skin. I wish this was a product I could use in the morning as well but it just isn’t right for my skin routine then. It will also be the only tube as it is a bit pricey.

My age is really showing on the backs of my hands. I've been applying this gel every night just before bed for the past week. It is a little sticky at first, but absorbs completely in about five minutes. My hands look and feel SO much better. They are so soft, and the skin just looks plumper and much less wrinkly. I'm sold on this brand.

The media could not be loaded. It's very moisturizing and hydrating, quiches skin thirst. My skin feels refreshed and hydrated.It can be a overnight mask because it is not oily, it'll lock in all that good moisture. I am loving my rejuvenated skin!! Highly recommend.
