How to use The Dr. Jart+ Cryo Sorbet Icy Facial Mask

Start with freshly cleansed, bare skin and make sure your hair is tied back. (We love using the Space NK Claw Clip, £14.00).

Snap off one cube of powder and peel back the lid. Gently add water to the fill line, wait for ten seconds and mix with the spatula provided. For an even cooler experience, chill your mask mixture in the fridge for 10 minutes before applying.

Apply the sorbet mask to your face generously and relax for ten minutes. Rinse off with water and a washcloth, and follow with your usual skincare products.

Isabel’s Dr. Jart+ Cryo Sorbet Icy Facial Mask Review

Skin type: Dehydrated

Dr. Jart+ Cryo Sorbet™ Icy Facial Mask, £20.00

It's safe to say, the metallic pink pots of Dr. Jart+ Cryo Sorbet Icy Facial Mask added a touch of excitement to my pre-party routine.

I’d never seen a face mask in this format before, so I wondered if it would be tedious to prepare, but it couldn’t have been easier. After adding water and waiting a few seconds, the powder dissolved into a silky, light pink jelly. I was so surprised at how cold it got in just 10 seconds.

One ‘serving’ of sorbet is very generous. I applied liberally and still had some left over for my neck. If you were getting ready with a friend, you could probably share one! The coolness of the mask felt so refreshing and the thick consistency was so easy to work with. It didn’t spill, run or fall off my face. It stayed put for the full 10 minutes.

Rinsing the mask off was equally effortless, I used a washcloth to remove the majority and only had to splash my face a couple of times.

My skin felt incredibly hydrated, my pores definitely looked less obvious and I had such an unreal glow that I thought it was a shame to put makeup over it! My makeup on top did look amazing, and the glow was still visible a few days later. My skin had literally drunk the moisture and the level of hydration and luminosity was a real step up from the results I get from my day-to-day skincare routine.

Skin type: Combination

Dr. Jart+ Cryo Sorbet™ Icy Facial Mask, £20.00

Although I rarely use face masks, the pretty packaging and concept of this product intrigued me, and the results were very impressive. I have combination skin, so I’m always looking for new ways of topping up my hydration to keep my skin balanced, soft and smooth.

Preparing the face mask was so easy and mixing it with water is incredibly satisfying. The spatula gave me lots of control when applying and made the process feel hygienic and professional. I found the slight coldness very relaxing, and it reminded me of the ice globes you usually only find in a salon. The thick texture created a cushion-like glove that surrounded and hugged my skin. I’ve never felt a skincare product like this before, it was lovely and soft.

Because of the luxurious experience, I felt that this mask was more of an at-home spa treatment than just a face mask. My skin felt great, it was flooded with moisture and slightly plumper.

To maintain and hopefully elevate my results, I’m going to keep using this mask regularly. The best part is, it’s so fun that I'll actually look forward to using it.

Our Verdict On The Dr. Jart+ Cryo Sorbet Icy Facial Mask

Both of our reviewers were impressed with the at-home salon experience, refreshingly cool sensation and serious hydration.

PROS: The mask is easy to prepare and feels luxuriously comfortable on your skin. The cool silky sensation is refreshing, and both reviewers felt full to the brim with hydration, resulting in a brilliant glow.

CONS: While our reviewers thoroughly enjoyed the texture and experience, if you prefer a sheet mask there are many to choose from. We love the Cicapair Intensive Soothing Repair Serum Mask for redness and Hydro Firming Mask Hydrolyzed Collagen With Hyaluronic Acid, which penetrates deeply over the course of an hour for long-lasting hydration and smoothness.
