I tried out the Johnson's® Hydration Essentials 2-in-1 Facial Gel Mask (for normal to combination skin), because it was December, it was hot and my skin needed hydration ASAP, as I was peeling quite a bit. I picked this up in Dischem, as it caught my eye while I as browsing and I was really surprised by how much I liked it!

The consistency is like a smooth lightweight jelly/gel formula, and soaks into the skin very fast, feeling a tad sticky at first, but the more it soaks in, the more velvet your skin feels. I used it every evening and sometimes every morning, but because I have oily skin, I tried to not overdo it. You also have the option of using the moisturizer as a face mask, by applying quite a thick layer on your face and allowing it to sink in for 15 to 20 minutes and then wiping the excess off. I didn't really use this feature, as I have other face masks that I use on a regular basis.

I really loved how soft and smooth my skin became after using it and how well it soaked into the skin without leaving a gross residue. As you can see, I finished the bottle!

I love using this as a mask for an extra boost of moisture. I apply a thick layer of the gel, leave it on for 3 minutes and remove any excess with a towel.

This facial gel came in the prettiest glass jar which I am going to keep long after the product has been used up because of its cuteness. I used it every day after using the face wash of the range. It made my skin feel very soft and was velvety smooth to apply. Just a little goes a long way and the glass jar makes it very easy to have control over how much product you use at a time.

The box also said it can be used as a gel for supple skin. I wasn't a fan of using it as a gel because it doesn't dry so that you can peel it off, you have to rinse off the gel afterwards. It would have been more convenient had it been peel off instead of rinse off.

It smells refreshing and is a lovely consistency. It also absorbs into the skin very easily and really does make your skin feel soft and smooth.

I haven't really suffered from dry skin, I had or have really oily except during winter it gets a bit dry but this past winter the dryness on my skin got really bad. After coming back from a trip overseas where the weather was extremely, the moment I landed home it's like all the oils disappeared from my face and I did not know how to fix it. I tried pretty much everything and it kept getting worse until I saw an advert about the Johnson & Johnson hydration essentials and how it keeps feeling moisturised. So the next day I went straight to clicks and purchased it. Within 3 days my skin was feeling amazing and the dryness had gone away and the great thing about it as well is that it doesn't create more oiliness to my skin. A small amount goes a long way, I've had the product since August and I have just a bit left to last me until October.

If you are suffering from dry skin, trust me your face will love this product.

It feels like just a splash of water in the face. I use this product mostly after gym, well of course got to shower first:-) it leaves my skin feeling hydrated throughout the night for me to have a peaceful sleep. Yes it's light and not tight, but just right for my face. I have forever trusted Johnsons, now it's time for you to do the same. Oh did I mention the revitalising and refreshing scent...it's to die for.

I really enjoyed reviewing this product.The Hydration essential 2 in 1 face mask is quite effective and easy to use. I was a bit skeptical of using the face mask as I found it to be a bit runny. I used the product alongside the hydration essential face wash. The face wash removed all greasy and oiliness from the skin. The Mask/Gel added the little glow and freshness to the skin. I felt no irritation or breakouts towards the Johnson Hydration products as it was quite gentle on my skin and left me with the "Fresh" feeling throughout the day. I would recommend the Hydration Essential products to all women out there. Good quality products.

This product is what ever women needs.

It comes in a small cute jar which can fit almost anywhere. Even though it looks so small it will last around two months if you are using it twice a day. Thats quite wonderful considering you can get it from R59.99 at leading retailers. It is a light gel kind of texture which smells amazing and reminds me of the ocean.

You need less than a pea size drop because its so light that it just glides onto your skin leaving your skin feeling refreshed, energized, smooth. It is very easily absorbed and lasts through out the day.

It didn't leave my skin feeling greasy or dried out and i haven't had any break outs.
So i would say this product is amazing.
As i have dry skin I use it as a daily moisturizer because it smells and feels so luxurious on my skin and it leaves it feeling soft and supple the whole day.

I found that although this gel felt like it was going to be great, it burnt my face quite badly. It made it tingle and eventually it was burning so badly that I had to take it off before the recommended time was up. It left my skin red and patchy. The redness disappeared and my skin felt a lot softer but I don't think it was worth the burning feeling. I tried the gel 3 or 4 times afterwards at different times of the day but it burnt my skin each time. I think this is one of those products that either agrees with your skin or doesn't!

I started using this mask , all thanks to beauty bulletin. I won this! It is by far the best mask ever! I still use it.

It is easy to apply, leaves my skin feeling fresh and clear, but at the same time nourished.

Ever since I started using this, I feel my skin isn't dried out or dehydrated. I don't get allergies, neither do I get break outs.

Thank you beauty bulletin for this lovely product!

I have been using this gel moisturiser and mask since the day I received it and am very pleased. The moisturiser is in a cute little blue jar and the gel itself is blue tinged and smells fresh and breezy. I generally don't like using creams in a jar but I will let this slide.

The texture is really great, it is light and just soaks into my skin. I love that it sinks in and feels like nothing yet keeps my skin just the right amount hydrated. I haven't gotten oily during the day with this either. I think it is a wonderful affordable option for girls like me with combination skin. I didn't get a chance to use it as a mask but imagine it to be an extra drink of moisture for those tired days when your skin just needs a little push in the hydration department.

have I seen a visible difference? not really, but to be fair my skin was not problematic to begin with.

I was so suprised when I received a parcel with the new Johnsons face care range.

Johnson's hydration essentials 2-in-1 facial gel mask

I could wait to start using it. That night after a hot bath, I used it for the first time. What a wonderful smell.

And the gel like formula is just great. You use just a small amount to cover you whole face, and it stays moistured for a the whole night/day.

It is such a wonderful cream that I started using it on my hands aswell, and WOW it really works.

This is just a GREAT product. Will definitely recommend it to everybody

It was and still is a wonderful product. May face feels so much better every time. I normally leave it on for 3 minutes and then wipe with damp cloth or cotton pads. Thank you guys for sharing. I would recommend this to anyone.

Hello pretty Ladies

First and foremost, thank you Beauty Bulletin for choosing me for this review. The products were at my doorstop before I even knew I was selected! LOL

Now let’s get done to business… I would like to introduce to you my new best friend : Johnson's Hydration Essentials 2-in-1 Facial Gel Mask!

I first tried the product as a mask and my oh my did it tingle my skin. And that’s how I knew it was working.

All impurities were cleaned out. No break outs which I loved! And I really tested it’s powers by using the mask the night before threading my eyebrows, upper lip, lower lip and chin and waxing the sides of my face and the night after. Generally, after this I; without fail always break out. And with the help of this mask and to my surprise I did not break out.

I suffer with combination skin problems. You those know days when your skin is so dry you feel like it’s about to tear?

And then the days where it’s so oily – the oiliness would be enough to fry a couple of samosa’s!

And for girls that me that means you’ve got to have 2 different skin care routines and products.

The reason why I decided to do my review at the absolute minute is so I could use the product to the maximum. The Johnson's Hydration Essentials moisturiser works for both skin types. Doesn’t keep you dry but never makes you oily.

Silky soft skin – all day – every day so very happy with it as a moisturiser as well. A good refreshing feeling early in the morning to wake you up – back wakes your skin up in that “pampering” type of way.

Oh and can we talk out the price???? It’s so affordable – I was shocked. At that price for the wonder work it does, is amazing.

To sum up how I feel every time I use the moisturiser or mask…the voice of the sea speaks to the soul. The touch of the sea is sensuous, enfolding the body in its soft, close embrace – is exactly what this product does.

Happy Weekend Ladies ?

Xoxo

Johnson's Hydration Essentials - Essentials 2-in-1 Facial Gel Mask
Thank you to the Beautiful ladies at Beauty Bulletin for sending me the amazing new Johnson's Hydration Essentials range. First of all I am fan of Johnson’s products so expected nothing less, and I was so happy to be part of the review club. Just what I needed for the dry summer days coming in.
My first impression of the packaging, was that it looks so different to the regular pink or white package which the normally use which they opted for Blue ocean look. After opening the products I loved it, true to its minerals in the product it had the most amazing scent of the ocean clean and fresh.
Use:
I used the product as a mask rather, it was very easy to apply. I left it on for three minutes. I am not sure if everybody had a tingling feeling, but it was nothing as I removed the mask my face normal I had redness or anything my skin felt fresh and pore looked nice and tight
Scent:
I the think the scent was my favourite part of all, I just love the clean fresh smell mineral ocean inspired products have makes me enjoy them so much more.

Overall:
I will always be a fan of Johnson &Johnson they make great products, I highly endorse you beauties to go out try it for yourself, you won’t regret it. And its total value for money.

What a Surprise Receiving the Hydrations Essentials 2 in 1 facial gel and mask as well as cleanser from Beauty Bulletin for Review this month even before i knew i was chosen for the review club. Beauty Bulletin You are Awesome!!!

I must say that when it comes to trying new facial products im always sceptical but i am on the journey of finding the perfect skin care range for my self.

i LOVE Products that have multi functions. being a person who loves trying out facial masks this was my favorite "feature".
it comes in a 50ml container but dont let that fool you. it is highly concentrated and nearly 3 weeks down with every day use i could day that it will last me over the next month.

THE PROMISE
Johnsons promises alot in this little product:
1. 24 hours Moisture without greasy feel
2. Boost hydration
3. leaves skin feeling soft, vital and fresh
4. IMMEDIATE RESULTS


MY EXPERIENCE
i am the kind of person who uses a product and expect to see a change immediately even though i know everything takes TIME. But im impatient so i was So excited when for the first time i see a product promising immediate results.

Johnsons Essential Hydration Gel/mask used in combination with the Hydrations Cleanser really does deliver on its promises.

i love the cold feel of the gel as i applied on my face, its as though you literally feel your skin being revitalized and coming to life....The application is almost therapeutic.
it was immediately absorbed into my skin and there was absolutely no oiliness, shine or greasiness.
What i love more than anything was the way my skin felt... it was cool, soft and so smooth.... so Johnsons completely delivered on their promise.
it was love at first drop for me.

my skin recently has been going through alot of changes and the dryness was really bothering me to the point that my skin was peeling. since i have started using the Johnsons Hydrations Essentials 2 in 1 facial gel mask i have begun to see that there is not much peeling and basically no dryness.
Everyday my skin feels a little better.

Living in DRY Johannesburg makes this Product a dream, the one thing i love about my holidays to the Coast is the Ocean.... now with Johnson's I get to feel the ocean and experience its benefits everyday :) :).

i have to say i will continue using the Johnsons Hydrations Essentials 2 in 1 facial gel mask as a daily moisturizer reason, Not only is it less than half the price (R69,99) of my current moisturizer, it is more concentrated, gives immediate and lasting results and again it DELIVERS ON ITS PROMISES

Im loving my OCEAN MINERAL BURST!!!!!!!!!

in a Microwave society and generation we want immediate results and Johnsons has come up with a solution that meets our need immediately.

YOU HAVE TO TRY IT OUT FOR YOUR SELF
YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE AND THE OCEAN TO GAIN LADIES

Love Nolz

I wrote a review about the Johnson cleanser since I got the best surprise ever in the mail when I received both!! Yes ladies I got the cleanser and facial gel/mask

It comes in this gorgeous container which looks expensive but it will only set you back by R69.95. Which is a reasonable price since it doubles as a mask. It looks like a gel but smells super fresh and almost clean, not over bearing but subtle.

I used both every morning since receiving them in the mail and all I can say is that I LOVE this facial gel/mask! It feels soo amazing when applying it after cleansing, it not only feels super soft and gelly but it absorbs into the skin like a sorbet, it basically melts into the pours.

When applied as a mask. You have to lather it it on thick and let it sit for 2-3 minutes but for that time you skin absorbs most of it in my case and with the rest you wipe away. Your skin feels even softer and hydrated, and when I say hydrated I mean it gives this healthy look, my skin looked smooth and soft and felt softer. I used it as a mask once a week and felt the gel and mask really improved my skins appearance over the two weeks.

As for the oil control it did make my skin feel a bit tight once it absorbed but through out the day my skin did not become oilier, instead it just looked dewy and healthy. I really did not expect the gel to do that since I thought the cleanser did its job pretty well but when you combine the cleanser and gel and use it daily you notice you skin looks and feels healthier without affecting sensitive areas.

I love the Gel/Mask and after years of skipping over Johnson's skin range I will be buying myself another cute blue pot. For everything that it does and for the price its a saving for my pocket and for my skin! A MUST HAVE!!

Along with the Hydrations Essentials Facial Cleanser that I was sent, the beauty bulletin wonders sent me a jar of the Hydrations Essentials 2 in 1 facial gel mask as well.

This product is great because it can either be used a gel mask 2 to 3 times a week or as daily moisturiser. I opted to use it as a daily moisturiser along with the facial cleanser. The product comes in a glass jar and after using it for 2+ weeks it still looks as if I have hardly used any of the product (even though I have been using it twice daily). This is really a great benefit as it shows that the product will last you a while (so your skin gets to feel wonderfully refreshed for a while yet still).

I admit that I was a bit wary using the gel mask as gel like substances generally leave my skin feeling sticky and tight and rather horrible after applying it, but the complete opposite happened when I applied the Johnson's Hydration Essentials Gel mask. Although my skin did get a tinge of stickyness that lasted about 10 seconds and then my skin felt baby soft and really light.

The 2 in 1 gel mask also contains ocean minerals which I think helps to achieve that instant refreshing feeling that I felt after using the products. Another plus for this product is that it is affordable and a little goes a long way so you definitely won't be wasting your money if you invest in it. At under R100 for the 2 in 1 gel ask, you get both a mask and a moisturiser AND it lasts a while and if that doesn't scream bargain, then I don't know what does.

Overall I will rate this product a 5. Its a good product for the summer time especially with all these hot days coming up - you need to know that you are hydrating your skin.

Thank you Beauty Bulletin for sending me the products

I was super keen to try out this 2-in-1 delight from Johnson's as I'm a big fan of a face mask - especially a hydrating one!

The formula of the gel is super light and a little goes a long way. The gel is lightly fragranced with a nice fresh scent and is lovely to put on in the morning as it gives you a little zing and wakes your face up!

When used as a moisturizer, the gel left my skin feeling fresh and awake. No greasiness at all. My skin was definately softer to the touch and remained hydrated throughout the day which was great.

When used as a mask, my skin felt super smooth afterwards and I ended up wiping some of the excess of, but massaging most of it back into my skin. It's also great not only having the mask and moisturizer combo, but one that you feel comfortable using as a day and night cream.

Hydration Essential 2 in 1 Gel Mask

To start its like Johnson’s captured the best of the Ocean and used it to fragrance the most light easily absorbed gel moisturizer, that in my case packed a powerful punch when it came to actually moisturizing! I started by applying it in the morning and at night like I would any normal moisturizer. The gel absorbs into your skin almost as you apply it. Leaving your skin super moisturized and so delicately soft. I have a naturally oily skin, and noticed after day 2 that I really only needed to apply the moisturizer once a day, (I chose to apply it at night). My skin stayed hydrated and soft all day long. After 7 days I realised that this product would be best suited for my skin as a mask only. It’s so rich and full of amazing nutrients that it would benefit someone with a more normal to dry skin a lot better than my super shiny complexion. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone who is in need of a little extra hydration.

Johnson's has released a new face care range, Hydration Essentials and I would have to say, I am thoroughly impressed with these products.

The Hydration Essentials 2-in-1 facial gel mask can be used as a daily moisturizer or as a gel mask.

Daily moisturizer:
This product is ideal for daily use and has left my skin feeling hydrated throughout the day. You only need to apply a tiny amount and this results in the skin feeling soft and revitalized. The cream gel absorbs quickly into the skin and leaves a non greasy after-feel.

Gel mask:
When in need for a boost of moisture, you can apply this cream gel as a mask, once or twice a week. I applied it in a thick layer, waited three minutes or so, gently removed off the excess and it left my skin feeling absolutely refreshed.

My skin has improved after using this product, my skin feels less dry and it has retained moisture during the day. Overall, it is a brilliant product, smells fantastic and gives effective results.

Johnson's Hydration Essentials 2-in-1 Facial Gel Mask

I have been putting of this review for a while now as my life has been rather busy lately. However, I’m a survivor, having gone through final year exams, a few job interviews and various other functions. This is one of the worst times for one to change their skincare routines, especially if like me; your skin is very sensitive and easily breaks out.

To date I have been using both the face gel and cleansing wipes for just over two weeks now and my skin has never looked better! I am amazed that I have not had any blemishes nor has my skin reacted adversely to this cream. The product is light in texture and has an invigorating scent. My skin is very oily and it did not change the overall appearance of my face by the afternoon when compared to my previous face cream. I even used it as a mask after late nights and it works just as good.

Overall this product has surprised me. The texture of my skin has only slightly improved and it is glowing. A great addition for the coming season and it can be used as an after sun treatment. My only exception would be that it does not help with pigmentation, but otherwise a good face cream at an affordable price that will definitely get you through a few all nighters!

Johnson's has never disappointed me, even with this new product that i was requested to review. It is best of the range when it comes to skin products.

With the Johnson's Hydration Essentials 2-in-1 Facial Gel Mask, I used it everyday twice a day- in the morning and at night. What I love about it is that it is so light. No greasy feeling after moisturizing your face. Its as if it evaporates.

Once my skin is moisturized, It was gave me a bit of a matte look which is perfect for me because I have oily skin. Even during the day with my make up on, my face did not go dry.
Not to forget to mention that my skin feels softer now, with no peeling of skin.

I would definitely recommend this product, especially when you have a combination of dry and oily skin.

Johnsons have always been a much beloved and trusted brand in my heart and family. From the baby range to the simple yet effective skin care essentials; also very reasonably priced.
The essentilas range is the best thing since sliced bread and very much aimed at younger teenage skin on a budget. Many of the products will not set you back more than R 60 or so which is a good deal for a great product.

I simply love the Johnson’s® Hydration Essentials 2-in-1 Facial Gel/Mask which is a very mild product that keeps skin hydrated for hours with a single application. Some moisturisers require continuous application throughout the day, but not Johnsons.
Rest assured, this cream is sooo light with no greasy feeling that you will not even feel it on your skin and it doubles up as a it acts as a daily moisturiser and a twice-weekly mask.

How is that for value fo rmoney?

Been using this for a week now and its a simple must have for the girl on the go with a hectic life; its not specific to any skin type so anyone, even guys can use it.


So, enjoy your life and keep skincare simple, like it should be with Johnson's skin care essentials which delivers just that, essentials!

So the instructions says that I need to use this twice a week which I have in the one week I have been using these products and it definitely is best t use this with the facial cleaner.

I didn’t notice any scent unlike the facial cleanser. I applied a little of the product on my face gently and had to keep the mask on for about 3 minutes. It is a Gel mask which I thought was really cool. It absorbed amazingly into my face I found that because of my bigger pores on my nose it started to tingle abit, That was good because it means that the product it working! I was hesitant to try out the mask because of my dry skin but I found that the Gel Mask actually worked really well, my face definitely feels softer then before I used these products.

Does my skin feel refreshed? It kinda does when using these together my skin feel moisturised and super soft I really love it!

Both of these products can be found at leading retailers and pharmacies, I saw this range at Clicks and they are definitely affordable.

I tested my products on a few friends of mine to get enough feedback from people with different skin conditions.

My mom: she has very dry skin and also gets little skin cancers from time to time that she gets burnt off by the doctor.
Her impression of the gel mask - it feels soft and smooth, she also loved the smell and the fact that it was so easy to use. She liked the fact that it is a small jar so she can hide it from my brother who has a habit of using every type of lotion he can find.

My sister - she suffers from very dry skin that becomes flaky.
her impression - loved the smell, doesn't feel harsh at all. after washing off : feels so soft and smooth.

me - i have normal skin. i loved the smell, the feel, it's like silk on your skin, easy to use! i love the container it comes in. the price is perfect - not nearly as much as i am currently paying for my face creams and masks. I also love the fact that it is 1 product that can replace 2 of my current products

Happy for days...

Starting with the packaging of the product I give it 10/10.I love that the bottle doesn't feel heavy and I must say its pretty, I just wanted to open and try it on without any hesitation...I gave myself a week to review the product and made sure I did not use any make up.

So my morning ritual will be I use the Johnson and Johnson facial cleanser gel and as a moisturizer I use the Johnson's Hydration Essentials 2-in-1 Facial Gel Mask..OWG!! My skin is smooth and soft like a baby’s hands.

I used to have a problem with oily skin but since I have started using the Johnson and Johnson range its GUDBYE OILY SKIN. I love the fact that gel mask doesn't have a lingering smell…

This is one range I would recommend to by friends to try…

Tried the mask on day1, (silly me as I done it straight after the cleanser) and caused my face to burn - obviously because my pores were now open. Lol that was totally my fault. Anyways, I tried it on its own on day 4, and as expected, no burning lol. It gave me such a smooth and moisturised feel, without feeling heavy. I will have to use it twice a week though, because of how oily my skin is. Would definitely recommend this. Only thing is, that the instructions state that you need to put a thick layer on your face - however the tub is quite small, so will not last too long. Other than that, its a great product ????

Well, another great product from the Johnson's line. I am a big fan of this gel/mask. It is so light, and it honestly does just melt into your skin, and does not leave a greasy feel on your face. It absorbs immediately, and leaves my face feeling refreshed and moisturised, and definitely is non-greasy. This gel seems like it will last forever seeing as how little you need to use to put on your whole face. It has such a lovely, soft smell, and has sorted out my dry skin I have been having issues with almost immediately. My skin feels great! Again, Johnson's skincare range impresses me, and I will most certainly keep this as a part of my skincare routine, and would recommend this to anyone who wishes to sort out dry skin or re-hydrate their skin.
