Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask by Valentia #ValentiaUltraPlumpingHydrationMask





I have been using this product from Valentia for about 2 weeks now.  I was given the opportunity to try it for my honest review and opinion.  No compensation was received in exchange for my review.

This is the first Valentia product that I am not absolutely blown away by.  Maybe I am expecting too much...

First of all, my skin is very dry.  This is called Ultra Plumping Hydration Mask -- so I was assuming this would add lots of moisture to my skin.  However, it feels dry after I have used it and not moisturized at all.

Maybe I am wrong in thinking -- "Hydration" would be "moisturizing".

Directions say to add to face avoiding the eye area.  Leave on for 15-30 minutes.  It states a slight tingling sensation is normal.  Use a damp cloth and warm water to remove.

I personally had no tingling sensation at all when I used it and I have very sensitive skin.  I guess I expect more results out of a product that I put 15-30 minutes into.  I was not impressed with this one and that is a first with Valentia.  I have tried 3 other products from Valentia and love them and gave them all 5 stars.

I saw no results from this one and my face actually felt dry after I removed it.  So, for me I felt like I wasted 30 minutes of my time each time I used it - LOL!!






Cons -- To me this felt like it left my very dry skin even drier after using it.  Since my face is very dry to begin with it was almost an uncomfortable dry once I rinsed it off and I had to follow up with an extensive moisturizing routing each time I tried this.

Not saying everyone would have this same experience, but for me this product does not work and I cannot recommend to anyone who has dry skin.

This product states it was made in the USA and is cruelty free.

There is no ingredient list on the label, but after some research I did find where they had posted in response to a question on Amazon.
