Lakme Absolute Skin Gloss Overnight Mask Review, Swatch
Hello Everyone,
I have heard and used face packs, face masks (the wet sheets) but overnight mask sounded a bit crazy to me. It can be compared to leave-in hair serums which are meant to be applied and not washed off. So, Today I am reviewing similar product for your face a “Face Mask” from Lakme Absolute Skin Gloss range, Lakme Absolute Skin Gloss Overnight Mask.
Product Claims: Leave the mask on all night to flaunt a gorgeous gloss next day from the minute you wake up. Enriched with minerals, the Lakmé Skin Gloss Overnight Mask keeps your skin hydrated and nourished.
- Mineral laden glacial water continuously replenishes moisture
- Hydrates to make skin look lustrous
- Moisture coat your skin with gloss
Direction for Use:-
- Squeeze 5-6 drops from the tube on to your palm.
- Dab entire face with dots of overnight mask.
- Gently pat until it is completely absorbed.
This is a leave-on product, do not wash off post product application and leave it on all night.
Price:- Rs.599 for 50gm
Shelf Life:- 18 months years from the Mfg date.
Lakme Absolute Skin Gloss Range includes:
- Lakme Absolute Skin Gloss Gel Creme
- Lakme Absolute Skin Gloss Reflection Serum
- Lakme Absolute Skin Gloss Overnight Mask
Packaging:- Lakme Absolute Skin Gloss Overnight Mask comes in a black plastic jar type packaging with a minty metallic blue screw cap. The packaging is similar to the Lakme Absolute Skin firming range but with a different color combination. The tub is housed in a box which has all the details of the product.
My experience with Lakme Absolute Skin Gloss Overnight Mask:-
Lakme Absolute Skin Gloss Overnight Mask is a creamy white colored gel with medium-thin consistency. It has a watery feel to it and goes absolutely clear on application. Similar to the Gel Crème it gives a mild cooling sensation as it gets absorbed into the skin.
It has a light weight formula and silky smooth non-sticky, non-greasy texture that applies evenly and blends beautifully into the skin. It gets absorbed quickly into the skin but not completely as I can feel some part o it still sitting on the top of the skin even after massaging it. It doesn’t feel heavy or sticky but do make my skin feel sweaty. I guess this is where its mask like properties comes into play.
The overnight mask has a strong musky fragrance like that of an after shave which does take a while to fade off.
Results: As claimed, Lakme Absolute Skin Gloss Overnight Mask is definitely hydrating to my dry skin which instantly plumps up with its cooling sensation and quick absorbing gel formula. It adds a lustrous shine to the skin but the sweaty feel doesn’t make it a great option for summers. It is slightly heavier and more nourishing than the Gel Crème so use it moderation as excess of it could give you a shiny/sweaty face. It makes my skin smoother and softer the next day but the results are short-lived.

It has a strong musky fragrance which is a little bothersome. It doesn’t feel heavy and provides good hydration to my dry skin but wish it had absorbed completely and had a soothing fragrance.

Have you tried Lakme Absolute Skin Gloss Overnight Mask? Which is your favourite Gel based moisturizer?
This one does not seem impressive, may be better at winter times
I love the L’Oreal Paris Hydrafresh Deep Boosting Essence, which is water based moisturizer. My skin feels great after I started using it.
I have not tried Lakme products for a while now.. the product may work for me since I have dry skin.
Ohh overnight mask sounds interesting..haven’t tried anything such yet but would love to 🙂
Nice review.
xx
Sounds okeyish, will give it a shot 🙂
I am loving the loreal deep boosting essence these days…perfect for my skin!
So sad that this has so many cons in it.
Sad that it’s not up to the mark. I expected more from this product. Very detailed review. Thanks.
btw can u please suggest a good night cream for sensitive skin!!
Even I was wondering about this mask, most of the results given by masks are short lived they are best option for a special occasion when we need a quick revamp.
