So this Cucumber Gel Mask Extreme De-tox Hydrator was part of the 6-piece mask kit that I purchased over a year ago. The 6-piece kit retails for USD75 (S$102). So one tube costs USD12.50 (S$17), which is a great deal. Each tub comes with 50 ml of product. This Cucumber Gel Mask is suitable for normal, oily and combination skin types. This ultra-gentle mask is supposed to soothe and hydrate irritated skin. It contains botanical extracts such of cucumber, papaya, aloe vera, chamomile, pineapple, sugar maple, sugar cane, orange, lemon and bilberry. The mask is helps to moisturise and refresh the skin. 

You can use this mask 2-3 times a week, or daily if your skin needs more hydration. Been trying to use it at least once a week for a few months. I refrigerate Cucumber Gel Mask Extreme De-tox Hydrator to give a cool and refreshing treatment. After throughly cleansing my face, I apply a generous layer of Cucumber Gel Mask all over my face. After 10-15 minutes, I wash off this mask and continue the rest of my skincare regimen.  

So what can I say about this Cucumber Gel Mask?
- It has a gel texture that is cooling and refreshing
- This mask works well for my sensitive skin, no new breakouts or redness caused by it
- Cannot tell much about the calming and soothing properties of the mask
- The moisturising strength is rather low and my skin does not feel well-hydrated after use

Overall, I would not repurchase this Cucumber Gel Mask Extreme De-tox Hydrator as it does not do much for my skin that has been more on the drier side recently. I could do without this product as part of my skincare regimen.
