- One time I tried using the mask as an overnight mask because the instructions say you could do it: the next day I had a huge cyst on my cheek, in a place where I never get pimples. And let me tell you, those big under skin pimples THEY HURT and it took a week for it to go away. And then three weeks for the PIE to go away. UGh!
- At this point I just have to say this mask is not hydrating or recovering my skin, for whatever reason, maybe I am allergic to something in it - birch juice? The ingredients do not look bad, quite the contrary!
- Strong perfume-y scent that lingers, but it is not particularly bad scent to me
- Leaves skin sticky and doesn't necessarily layer well with other products
- Not necessarily hydrating, basic creams feel better, which is weird because the mask has one job and it is to hydrate
+ I love weird jelly textures and the mask feels and looks so fun to scoop a piece out. And the wobble when you shake the tub!
+ Easy to spread on skin and wash off, gel texture that melts
I try to mark the sunscreen ingredients in red and other possible irritants in lilac. Ingredients thought to be good and useful for skin I mark green. Learning as I go, google is my friend etc...
Thoughts:
- On several occasions just burned my skin when I applied the mask: sometimes less, sometimes so much my skin turned red and I had to wash the mask immediately off. I tried several times because I was unsure if my skin was just sensitive at the moment.

* I think this version of Lumene Lähde Nordic Hydra Hydration Recovery Aerating Gel Mask is discontinued and the new version is called Nordic Hydra Oxygen Recovery 72H Hydra Gel Mask. Such monster names.
* I suspect I might be allergic to birch but I do not know if birch juice topically can cause allergic reactions. I have no idea what else it could be. So this is the reason the mask was left unused after the beginning. At least I bought it on sale!
* I think Lumene as a brand is good when it comes to makeup but not so with skincare.
Price:
I paid 10 € on sale, normal price about 20 € / 150 ml
Bought from:
Supermarket
Buy again?
No.
Worth the money?
Lumene Lähde Nordic Hydra Hydration Recovery Aerating Gel Mask was not worth the money for me! And considering how the world is full of face mask options maybe people with sensitive skin should look elsewhere. But if your skin is not severely dry or sensitive and you are not allergy prone and you like fragrance, the price is not too bad on sale and the jelly texture is a delight.
