What the gurus are saying

This mask earns consistent praise for its heavy hydration and versatility, gurus use it as a rinse-off mask, sleeping treatment, or layered under or over moisturiser depending on their skin's needs. The reformulated version ditched the peppermint oil that irritated many with the original formula, making it suitable for sensitive skin and those already using actives like tretinoin. Best saved for nighttime, as the thick, rich texture can feel greasy during the day; those with dry skin or barrier damage find it particularly helpful for repair.

"The Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask is a very nourishing, rich moisturizer. Yes, it's very very nice. I just use it as a PM moisturizer. Bang for buck, obviously, it's 28 gram, pretty small. And I feel like you can get a similar effect with a lot of other moisturizers."

Skincare I've Changed My Mind On & Why - Products I Used to Hate That Now I Enjoy
"The initial version of it had peppermint oil or was it corn mint oil, almost same difference, and a lot of people are irritated by it. Now this version is fragrance-free and unscented and now it's nice and hydrating. You can use it as a rinse off mask, you can use it as a sleeping mask, you can use it as a moisturizer. It's very, very nice. It's a little bit pricey. The fact that they changed this formula made it usable for me, whereas the initial product I think I actually returned it because it was just irritating."

Best Thick Moisturizers & Night Time Sleeping Masks - Favorite Overnight Facial Creams
"That's the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask. They've reformulated it. The initial formula, people had complaints, irritations. I think most of it was about the peppermint oil that was in there. This newest version has no fragrance in it, has no scent. They've taken out those irritating ingredients and they've left us with a really great product, and the ingredients in here are great. It's very lovely, it is kind of on the thick side, but I really enjoy it and I repurchased it multiple times now. I can't remember what number bottle I'm on, but I really like this. I use it similar to the Topicals, I'll use it as a mask sometimes, sometimes I'll use it as a sleeping mask, sometimes I just use it as a moisturizer to hydrate my skin, so it's really nice. And I'm glad that they reformulated, because the first version was so close to being a winner and then that little bit of peppermint oil comes and says hi, I'm going to irritate the heck out of your face."

Summer Fridays Rich Cushion Cream Ultra Plumping Moisturizer Review & How to Use
"When Summer Fridays first started out I was not a fan. They came out, I think their very first product was a Jet Lag Mask and it had peppermint oil in it and a lot of other essential oils in it and it just seemed like a cause for concern. If you're going to use that overnight with peppermint oil and stuff in it, it seems like a bad idea and it was scented. But then slowly Summer Fridays has kind of evolved and a lot of their stuff now is fragrance free, and now including that Jet Lag Mask, which was once fueled with oils, peppermint oils, mint oils, that one is also now fragrance-free."

"The brand initially took off launching their Jet Lag Mask, which is interestingly had a lot of complaints on the there's a website where you can report adverse cosmetic reactions. They eventually changed that formula because it was full of like peppermint oil and synthetic fragrance. Now it's fragrance free. I like the fragrance free version."

"This is my worst value pick. It's really just a rich moisturizer that you're supposed to tissue off, which feels like an older outdated concept to me. There is some peeling if you use it as a moisturizer instead, which I guess is why they tell you to tissue it off, and sometimes it irritates me and sometimes it pills. I don't get it, even though I do quite like some of the other Summer Fridays products. For me, I just feel like get a better moisturizer."

"I have the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask which I just always have as like an in case, you know, like if maybe I'm on a really long flight and my skin is just drying out like crazy I might go to the bathroom and like rinse my face [...] and then maybe I'll drench my face in this."
~Yay
"I usually also apply the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask on top of my moisturizer to lock in moisture but also to add more and this does a fabulous job when your skin needs some TLC. This is great to use on its own in replacement of your moisturizer, this is great to use on top of your moisturizer, and you can use this as a mask so you can put a decent layer all over, leave it on for as long as you want, and then wipe it off. I like to keep this on and work it into my skin and put this on top of whatever moisturizer I am using. This has niacinamide in it, there's a lot of great ingredients in here for anti-aging but also to moisturize and repair the skin barrier."

IF I COULD ONLY PICK 1 PRODUCT FROM MY FAVORITE SKINCARE BRANDS | FYI...THIS WAS REALLY HARD!
"The Jet Lag Mask [...] is so moisturizing. If you have dry skin, you have tightness, you have irritation, you just need additional moisture, pick up this, this really is great. [...] I like to use this two different ways: I like to use this on its own in replacement of moisturizer, and I will also pair this up with a moisturizer if my skin really needs that moisture. When your skin needs some TLC, this really is a great product to use. [...] I like to use this more at nighttime, I don't generally use this in my morning routine because it is quite thick and rich and it can be a little greasy on the skin. [...] Even on top of tretinoin I use this with copper peptides, sometimes maybe with lactic acid. You can use this with anything. There's niacinamide, there's glycerin, there's hyaluronic acid, also there's additional ingredients that are fabulous as well. This is now fragrance free, [...] their old formula had peppermint oil, this one does not have any fragrance, and it's wonderful."

"I've talked about Summer Fridays' products on my channel many, many times. I love their eye cream, I love their hydrating mask, I love that they've even reformulated products to be fragrance free to be more accessible to consumers, I think it's absolutely amazing. There are a few products from them that I haven't necessarily fallen in love with, but that's normal for any brand. I think the brand is really that cool, and I think they're so conscious of where the industry is going and making sure their products are more accessible."
~Yay
"One of my favorite ones is the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask. This is like the little travel size one. It's so good. It's really really hydrating. My skin's been a little bit dry on the drier side lately so I've been using this one a lot more."

What the evidence says.

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

Niacinamide

Niacinamide has evidence behind it for redness, uneven tone and supporting the skin barrier, and it is usually well tolerated even by skin that reacts to most things.

Source: DermNet

Ceramides

Ceramides are part of the skin's own barrier, and moisturisers built around them have evidence for holding water in and settling the tightness and flaking that come with a damaged barrier.

Source: DermNet

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.
