Thoughts
I cannot help be dubious when I see a product that promises to 'lift' my face, even if albeit temporarily! Sure there are products which are quite successful in giving the appearance or feel of a temporary tightening effect, but 'lifting' is only ever going to be something that's truly achieved under a surgeon's scalpel!
And no, I'm not going to proclaim that I suddenly looked twenty years younger after using this mask, but, the results are actually quite impressive!
Let's take each claim and address them one by one:
* Firms Facial Contours
Yes! There's no doubt that I can visibly notice a firmer and more 'tightened' appearance.
My jowls seem firmer, my jaw line looks smoother and slightly more defined - I particularly notice this on the lower part of my face, which is great as this is the area I need to be tightened the most! This is only temporary, which is why I prefer to use this in my morning routine but it's not like there's a sudden and dramatic drooping back to it's regular state after a few minutes. I'm generally good for most of the day.
* Restores Youthful Volume
If by 'youthful volume' it means plumper, hydrated skin, then yes, I'll give them that.
It sounds like a bit of an anathema to state that a product tightens and plumps both at the same time, but this is what the mask achieves.
The mask has the strange effect of both softening my features while making them more defined - it's actually quite a remarkable thing!
* Correct Wrinkles
My static lines which are most pronounced are my 'eleven' lines on my forehead and my 'Marionette' lines - my naso-labial folds. After using the mask, there is a marked difference in the appearance of these lines. They do appear to be much less deep and pronounced. I'm most surprised about my naso-labial folds as I've had pronounced lines here since childhood. The lines don't disappear entirely, but are certainly not as noticeable. This effect lasts several hours too.
* Comforts
I can certainly attest to the soothing/comforting aspect of the mask. You might assume that a mask which gives quite drastic tightening effects may well have a price to pay in the 'skin tingling' stakes! But this is an intensely soothing and calming mask to wear with absolutely no skin irritation at all. An added benefit for me personally is the brightening effects that are achieved after wearing this mask. Redness and uneven skin-tone are much reduced and my skin looks altogether brighter and clearer.
So I can add my tick of agreement to all of these claims, which to me, feels impressive as they're all pretty strong claims.

I did also try wearing a thinner layer of the mask as an overnight treatment.
But if there was a part of me hoping that a longer wear time would make for even greater results, this didn't come to fruition!
Again, and without doubt, there was a noticeable firming effect on my face. I do have quite a fat face and after wearing the mask overnight there were some clear areas where my face looked a lot more firm and defined - mainly on areas where I might apply contour to try and achieve a similar effect using makeup. Most noticeably, the sides of my face looked slimmer and more sculptured and my marionette lines were less obvious.
However, the downside to this was that my face felt and looked quite greasy in the morning. Because I can get the same results wearing the mask for the advised 15-20 minutes, I'll probably continue to use it in this way instead rather than as an overnight treatment.
