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.

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

Effective overnight treatment

I was looking for the overnight treatment that would provide intensive hydration and firming effects to the skin. This is exactly how the Fresh Black Tea Firming Overnight Mask works. It works with signs of aging and gives me firmer, more youthful-looking skin. I can say that after 1 month of usage my fine lines and wrinkles are less noticed, and my skin is hydrated and plump. The mask is formulated with black tea ferment and blackberry leaf extract. These ingredients are antioxidants and works in improving skin elasticity. I’m very happy with this product and see a visible effect from it.

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.

Instant results!

Yes this is a lot of money for a relatively simple product in terms of ingredients. There really isn't much in here, but whatever is in here - works! And it's mainly the Rice Ferment Filtrate (similar to what's in SK2's Facial Treatment Essence) and Black Tea Ferment that's doing all the hard work. I apply this somewhat heavy gel-texture mask on my cleansed, dry skin for up to 20 minutes, tissue off and then rinse until it's all removed. It does have a cooling effect but not in a mentholated way (I quickly scanned the ingredients list again in case I missed menthol the first time and it's absent). Once I've removed it I definitely see a difference in texture and radiance. My pores look more refined (though sadly not gone) and if there was any flakiness before...well ... MoreYes this is a lot of money for a relatively simple product in terms of ingredients.

I get exactly the same results every time I use this - which is a few times per week, they don't accumulate over time. Do I notice any improvement in hydration? I do, but not as much as I do with this very same brands' 'Floral Recovery Calming Mask', but then that one did nothing for flakiness/texture, so it seems I'll have to alternate between them, unless the Black Tea Overnight mask (next on my list) can step in for both. I hope it does, because frankly speaking I'm not sure if I can afford to use two of their masks on a long-term basis when they are priced so highly. -> My 'Ulta Beauty Top 7 must-have list' (My 7 favorite beauty products of all time, focusing mainly on my purchases at Ulta) < - < 1.

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

Smooth, moisturized glow 

I really like how this makes my face feel- a few minutes after I put it on. When I first put it on, it feels very heavy, a bit sticky & uncomfortable but within minutes, it changes and absorbs making my face feel baby soft smooth. My face looks good in the morning with a moisturized glow to it. I took off a star, because as for tightening, I have yet to see any tightening effects. I have only used it 4 or 5 times so far, so maybe it just takes longer for the tightening to be noticeable. I definitely recommend giving it a try though.

The best night cream I’ve used

This product defied my expectations! It smooths on like a normal cream—kind of heavy if I use too much but not stifling like a body lotion. Nothing special. But after a penny sized amount and I wake up with plump, radiant, even toned skin. I had oily, acne prone skin for years but by the time I started using this my skin was clear with light scarring. I absolutely notice a difference in how bright it looks and feels. It makes my face feel healthier, and in turn any imperfections are overshadowed by how healthy every thing else looks. It has never irritated any active blemishes. It has a light herbal scent but I’d have to intentionally sniff the jar to notice. The price is wild but the smaller jar easily stretches between sales. When I occasionally use a different ... MoreThis product defied my expectations! It smooths on like a normal cream—kind of heavy if I use too much but not stifling like a body lotion.

When I occasionally use a different night cream, the radiance and plump feeling isn’t there when I wake up. I took away a star because my last jar started to flake brown bits toward the end of its life.

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.
