"This is the Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask and I believe this is the third year that I featured them in a best of video because when my skin has had a reaction, if I've had a sunburn, my skin is reacting to a product or it's super sensitive and I have no idea why, I slap that bad boy on and within 15 to 30 minutes my skin is healed. It is an absolute must for anyone who has really reactive or really sensitive skin because it has saved my skin in so many different moments when no other product could. The ability it has to just remove all of the excess redness from my face and reduce the stinging and the irritation, it really is one of those formulas that just absolutely blows me away. I have not yet found another product that even compares to this formula for immediately being able to reduce my sensitivity and redness and calm down my skin as quickly as it does. It's expensive at $55, but it lasts for such a long time. It's a really big jar and you don't need to use that much across your face. If you're someone who frequently experiences reactions, burning, stinging, sensitive skin, or if you're like me who lives in a place where there's a lot of sunlight and you might get a sunburn every once in a while, this product is going to change your life."

"I also want to recommend their Cucumber Gel Mask this formula is incredible at how quickly it reduces redness. I've used this on sunburns, I've used this on my skin when it has reacted negatively from a product. [...] It works so quickly to reduce redness and every time I get a sunburn I will slather this all over. [...] It really is an incredible mask and for the size that you get it lasts forever."

"Whenever I need to reduce redness in my face I use my hero saving product, the Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask, because this always has done a good job for me in the past, just bringing down the redness and sensitivity. Every time I have a sunburn I always use this product. It stung badly going on, but twenty minutes later my skin was still red but looking a lot better, it's a testament to the power of this mask."

Reacting to My OLD Sephora Purchases

"This has been one of my favorite products for years, I've talked about it basically since the beginning of my channel. I've always loved how it decreases the redness and sensitivity in my skin. I do need to repurchase it because I do love that product."

"It does have cucumber in it that's a hydrating ingredient, but it also has some ingredients that I tend to shy away from because they can be irritating, namely fruit acids as well as citrus extracts which can be irritating to the skin. This product was not bad, it wasn't great, not something I would go out of my way to purchase again. [...] The main annoyance of it is that you've got to wait 10 minutes, not the most time efficient thing out there. I didn't hate using this but would not go out of my way to repurchase it."

New Korean Skincare Rapid Fire Reviews And First Impressions

"It's a hydrating gel mask that you put on to clean skin, feels like aloe vera. [...] You leave it on for 10 minutes [...] and then you rinse it off. But when you're thinking of addressing the moisture barrier, I don't know, it kind of defeats the point to put something moisturizing on, use a short contact approach, and then rinse it off. This has some ingredients in it that I'm not too fond of in skincare like some fruity extracts, it has papaya, pineapple. I mean, probably trace extracts of those things if I'm being honest. It's not as though there's freshly squeezed pineapple in here with the enzymes that would be super irritating to the skin. Aloe is rich in humectants. [...] You don't need very much. I've been using it actually daily for the past six days and it's as though I just opened it."

"I've been doing this thing every single day and I barely made a dent in this mystery goo. It's all right. I've kind of come to enjoy it though and I like the cool application which can help reduce puffiness and be very soothing on the skin."

Trying The Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask

"It doesn't have a strong fragrance, it's more of a citrus scent. [...] My skin feels pretty good actually, I don't know, it kind of just feels like it did when we started, but I don't have any irritation and it does feel kind of nice going on the skin. But is it the most magical thing? No. I mean, it feels actually similar to just putting like a gel moisturizer on, only now you're stuck sitting here for 10 minutes. I mean, who has time for that? [...] You're stuck waiting 10 minutes and then you rinse it off, so it's just kind of like, I don't know, feels a little touch and go. Peter Thomas Roth does have some good products, [...] but this is a pass."

New Budget Friendly Moisturizer | Skincare Vlog

"I'm still working on this Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask. [...] This has been working really well for me. [...] I do this painting technique with my finger to really apply it well, since there are a lot of sensory receptors in your finger pad and you can really feel where you are applying. When you document your face every day you've got that to look back on, and I came across an old video of myself and I have this little freckle here that I've had since I was a little kid, and I swear it's gotten lighter compared to those older photographs."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
