For those of us who want to throw on a mask on be left smelling like a face of fresh rose petals and clear, hydrated skin, Fresh’s Rose Face Mask uses real rose petals in a silky gel cream to hydrate and tone the skin.
This leaves you feeling incredibly soft, nourished, and refreshed.
Safe for all skin (including sensitive and acne-prone), the bestselling mask is designed to help minimize pore size and hydrate dry skin types. But it works for any skin type, and actually helps in restoring balance for those who are oily or combination.
When applying the mask, skin feels instantly refreshed, and after a long day or week of work, isn’t that what we are all looking for?
Before we begin, make sure you’re ordering Fresh from a legitimate retailer, NOT from a counterfeit seller. For your convenience, here is the Amazon link to an authentic Fresh retailer.
Considering the organic ingredients, scent, and entire experience, I would actually rate this mask a step further- it’s more like an at-home spa experience, but one you can enjoy as often as you’d like without totally breaking the bank.
So what’s all the hype about Fresh’s Rose Face Mask? We reviewed.
Review: Fresh Rose Face Mask
Fresh Cosmetics Rose Face Mask, designed to treat signs of dryness, aging skin, and large pore size, is a fan favorite for the brand, and feels like you’re using a spa treatment from the comfort of your own home.
Formulated with fresh organic ingredients and nothing artificial, it supports skin healths and leaves you with a fresh and radiant glow.
After using the mask, my skin instantly improved even after one use (in terms of tone, texture, clarity, hydration and a general feeling of nourishment/calming). Even with sensitive and acne-prone skin and poor reactions to rose ingredients in the past, I experienced no irritation or breakouts after using the Rose Mask.
It also smells exactly like fresh flowers and rose petals, probably because it actually contains fresh rose petals.
Side note? It pairs perfectly with Thayers Witch Hazel Rose Petal Toner that we previously reviewed with flying colors!
Talk about true luxury in a jar.
After using this mask at night, I woke up to truly dewy and radiant skin, and I could tell that the appearance of my pore size had definitely decreased.
While the Fresh Rose Face Mask is great for hydrating dry skin, it also works great at restoring balance for those who are oily or combination and has great benefits as an anti-acne treatment as well.
Another side note? I like to use this along with Neutrogena’s Oil Free Acne Wash on days that I’m really breaking out for maximum benefits.
For those who are sensitive, it is extremely gentle and nourishing, and very calming- whether it’s applied during the day or night.
It seems like a great treatment for those of all age groups as well, as it has preventative benefits and anti-aging benefits, if you’re looking to treat lines, wrinkles, and sun damage.

Fresh Rose Face Mask Positives and Negatives
While I found the majority of features and benefits with use to be positive with the use of the Fresh Rose Face Mask, the price point is a bit steep in comparison to competitors. However, the product does have a great shelf-life, and is filled with natural and pure ingredients making it seem like a very worthy splurge. With that said, here are a look at some main pros and cons to bear in mind prior to purchase:

- A little product goes a very long way, so a jar should last you for quite some time- adding value to the product and money spent
Cons
- For the face mask category, the price point is quite steep, so it is important to realize this is definitely a splurge, and serves as a treat for those who want to invest in the ingredients and the benefits with use
- For those with the most sensitive skin, rose can be a very active ingredient, so as with any skincare product, spot testing is always recommended

Fresh Rose Face Mask: Worth It Winner?
While Fresh’s Rose Face Mask may definitely be a splurge, there is no denying the benefits with use and that this is one of the most luxurious at-home spa like treatments I have tried in any product range for the skin.
It is anti-aging, and completely restores skin texture and tone, and fully brightens the complexion for those with dull or sallow skin tones.
When applied to the face, it feels quite luxurious and instantly calms, smoothes, and tones. It is also safe for all to use (excluding those with specific allergies), and made my face feel instantly smoother and more appear more vibrant.
In terms of the overall mask category, price considered, we’d give this a 4.5/5. In terms of overall quality if price was not as steep, this would easily rank in at a 5/5, and is definitely a splurge I would recommend everyone try out at least once for a renewed and fully restored appearance.
Definitely hype worthy!
