It's a Brandt New Day!

I received this product in a beauty subscription box from the U.S., and the words "sleeping mask, do not wash off" put me on my guard immediately. Pore-clogging danger? Not in this case. It turned out, Hydro Biotic has a light semi-cream, semi-gel texture, it works more like a moisturizer, and the feel is very pleasant. My pores, which are a concern to me, are actually on the improvement path with Hydro Biotic as part of my pre-bed routine.

Those who are sensitive to smells may have an objection against its medical-y herb-y scent, but I personally like it. When I apply the mask, I have the sensation I am treating my skin with the essence of the forest. There are a lot of dire warnings about self-care products with fragrance, but this mask actually smells like medicine rather than like perfume.

The effect - what can I say? It all depends on your skin type. My skin is normal with a light inclination to dryness, so Hydro Biotic is in the first place a moisturizer to me, but it has a smoothing effect, too, - my face is pleasant to the touch in the morning. The only reason I gave four stars for quality is the light residue that still needs to be washed off in the morning, despite the "do not wash off" recommendation, but we wash our faces in the morning anyway.

Since I alternate my evening routines from oil to serum to nourishing cream to retinol cream to mask, I only apply Hydro Biotic a few times per week, but I feel it will become a staple. A firm four-star-very-good opinion and kudos to the brand.

One of my favorites

I just started using this sleeping mask for the last 2 weeks and I love the way my skin feels going on and more importantly, how it feels when I wake up - soft, hydrated, and refreshed. It has a nice, light fragrance too.

Definitely try this out!

My skin has been suffering from dehydration lately and none of my usual moisturizers were fixing the dry patches and flakiness that I had. Miraculous, this has rehydrated my skin overnight. Got a little lazy the next day and took a hot second to shower (quarantines rules y’all) and my face was the picture of moisturized, but not oily.

I did however start to get a pimple on my chin and made the mistake of using this sleep mask two nights in a row. A whitehead formed overnight, watch out!

Hydrating & Skin-Clearing Nighttime Mask

I honestly think this mask would work for any skin type, including sensitive. It has a pleasant, light fresh air smell and the consistency is similar to a gel moisturizer/cloud cream so it spreads easily and soaks in quickly. For dry skinned beauties like myself, I recommend adding a 2nd layer after the first completely soaks in as you will get better results than just with the 1. My skin is noticeably smoother and softer in the morning. Highly recommend. I use this 2x/week.

Dr Brandt Hydro Biotic Recovery Sleeping Mask

I got this in a subscription box not too long ago and was so excited to try it. It doesn’t have a strong scent which is always nice. I left it on over night as the product says and actually saw a difference in the redness of my skin and was very hydrated

Great moisturizer

this is a super nice cream to use over night, its really moisturizing and its light and goes into the skin very nicely, i found it didnt make me break out and left my skin hydrated, i would recommend to anyone who likes a light cream
