Fresh Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask 3.3 Oz/ 100 ml

This one is much less about the 'Black Tea ferment' that made their 'Instant Perfecting' mask so great, and much more about hydration instead. It has a gel-creme texture that goes on heavy and absorbs after about 5 minutes. I apply a thin layer and let it sink in and only then do I settle in for the night, otherwise I find it just gets onto my pillow. It doesn't completely dissapear in any case, there always seems to be a bit of residue left on my skin. As previously mentioned, there is much less of the Black Tea goodness in here, a lot more in terms of humectants and rather criminally none of the 'Rice Ferment Filtrate' otherwise known as 'Sake' which I strongly feel is what made the Instant Perfecting mask very effective in dealing with skin texture issues.

What this mask does do though is hydrate well and slightly brightens my complexion too. I definitely don't get any of that 'firming' action that it claims to deliver. I can think of several other masks that do exactly the same thing and would probably come to less than the price of this one if purchased all together. Glad to have tried and enjoyed using but this one just didn't win me over. -- My Top 10 Beauty Must-Haves

I have been slathering a fairly generous amount over my face and neck (following the instructions), but a little goes a long way as the consistency is quite rich. I’ve been applying this religiously for several weeks and I’ve barely made a dent in the 100ml jar. I would advise applying this earlier on in the evening before going to bed so that the product has a chance to sink in and you avoid going to bed with claggy skin.EffectsAside from redness, my skin concerns are forehead lines, laughter lines and necklace lines. I don’t think there’s any cream out there that could eradicate them fully, but a bit of blurring/tightening will not go amiss.Some of the mask sank in overnight, but after I cleansed my face in the morning I felt like I was removing the remainder of the cream and therefore the effects weren’t as long-lasting as I’d have liked, however if you suffer from parched skin then you will love this as it‘s very comforting and quenching while its on the skin.I have combination skin and found so far that my skin was no better or no worse for using this mask. I can’t yet report any dramatic lifting results, but I still have enough of the cream left to persevere for a while longer.

Favourite ever face mask

I absolutely love the Fresh Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask! This is hands down one of the best face masks I have ever used. The texture is rich and luxurious, and it feels incredibly hydrating and nourishing on my skin. After using it overnight, my skin feels so soft and plump, and I can definitely see a difference in its firmness and overall appearance. I appreciate that it contains natural ingredients like black tea and various plant extracts, and that it doesn't contain any harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances. I highly recommend this mask to anyone looking for a truly effective and luxurious skincare treatment.

Good for dry skin

This overnight mask is a quite thick moisturising cream. It was pleasant to use, although it was actually a little too heavy for me. Yes, obviously I can apply it to damp skin and thin it out a lot that way, but overall I found myself preferring another night mask by this brand. This one would be most suitable to the uber dry skin crowd.

Impressive

This was an impulse buy for me, I'd never read of any reviews on this overnight mask by Fresh, but it sounded intriguing and with tea as an ingredient in the product and loving my cuppa, I figured I couldn't go wrong. When I opened it and sniffed, i couldn't smell anything which is always a good thing because I'm sensitive to fragrance. The cream is a thick white balmy texture and as I applied it, it felt really soothing, but I will admit sticking, but once applied the stickiness dissapears and you feel so nourished. Woke up the next morning and my skin was glowing. I'm so happy I took a chance with this mask. I picked a winner, hands down.

Lovely nourishing winter night cream

Really enjoying this to use two to three times a week as a nourishing night cream. Goes on easily, feels cool on the skin but I don’t mind that. Doesn’t aggravate or irritate my acne prone sensitive skin. Absorbs quickly, if I add an oil on top it doesn’t pill. I wake up in the morning with smooth bright soft skin. A a lovely treat if you need some extra winter nourishment.

Luxurious night cream

I have been a massive fan of Fresh skincare for ages and this is another amazing product by them. It is extremely hydrating and you feel the results straight away. After the first use my skin felt super soft and plumped, which has been perfect during winter when my skin has been on the dryer side. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an overnight treatment that will leave your skin glowing by the morning. Plus, even though the formula is on the thicker side, it has not given me any breakouts which is a massive win.

Mask

I have been familiar with the Fresh brand for a long time. I first learned about this brand through their famous black tea face mask. I not only use it myself but also buy it for my mom, who has been using it for a long time too. It is known for its firming and anti-aging effects. Additionally, the brand also has a honey face mask, which is slightly more expensive. My mom alternates between these two masks, and she has been using them consistently for a long time. Overall, both masks have a great texture and scent, and they offer good value for the price

Raisin to Grape!

I was fortunate enough to try this from the FRESH MINI FACE MASK TRIO set which was an absolute bargain in comparison to buying each mask separately. This mask has warm, pleasant smell which I love. The texture is quite thick but to its advantage and it feels rich and comforting when massaging into the skin before bedtime. In the morning, it leaves your skin feeling ever so nourished and plump (literally your skin will go from the texture of a raisin to a grape!

Very hydrating

This luxurious mask comes in a stylish glass jar and has a delicate, fresh scent. I tend to use it twice a week on my face and neck and chest and find the cream rich and unctious. I apply it last thing at night so it absorbs into my skin overnight. I definitely feel it is ultra hydrating and my skin definitely feels plumped and refreshed in the morning. I do not need to rinse it off any excess product. My only reservation is that I feel I need to use a generous amount in each applicaiton and it is quite a high price point so doesn't last very long for me.
