Masks and lotions enriched with oxygen and oils, with the aroma of apricot puree and berry juice - the BeautyHack editors tested the best face products in the form of jelly and delivered their verdict.
Galacticleanse Cleanser, GlamGlow
Tested by BeautyHack Editor-in-Chief Karina Andreeva
A shining black jelly is squeezed out of the tube (evokes cosmic associations), and on the skin the product turns into gentle milk upon contact with water. It copes with even the most waterproof makeup in a matter of minutes and dissolves cosmetics well (I had smoky eyes, wine lipstick and active strobing after a friend's birthday). Most importantly, there was no feeling of tightness. Excellent composition - meteorite powder, nourishing white morning glory oil, bamboo charcoal and Baihao Yinzhen white tea.
Price: 4,000 rubles.
Oxygen moisturizing mask Lähde Hydration Recovery Aerating Gel Mask, Lumene
Tested by BeautyHack editor Anastasia Speranskaya
The fact that the oxygen mask was not immediately recognized by me - but I realized this at the very first application. The thick transparent jelly melts a little on the skin and refreshes, as if every pore on the face has just begun to breathe - there are a lot of bubbles in the jar, and it seems that this is the real cool Finnish air. The main ingredient in the mask is oxygen-enriched Arctic spring water and northern birch sap (I personally feel thirsty from this combination). So the skin drinks almost in the literal sense of the word - the mask intensively moisturizes, smoothes and gives freshness.
It can be used in two ways: as a mask that can be left on for 5-10 minutes and rinsed off, or as an intensive sos treatment for very dry skin - in this case, apply the product in a thin layer and leave it overnight. By the way, the mask is also suitable for owners of oily skin in need of nutrition - it will moisturize to the right degree and will not lead to greasy shine during the day.
Price: 1 489 rub.
Watermelon mask Freshmade Watermelon Mask, Skinfood
Tested by BeautyHack editor Daria Sizova
The product has two significant advantages - moisturizing and cooling the skin. I will gladly use the mask on vacation after a full day in the sun - it relieves irritation, soothes the skin and nourishes it with moisture. It contains glacier water, extracts of watermelon, chamomile and seaweed. This means that the product can be used during detox (I always arrange it on vacation) and for girls with very sensitive skin.
The consistency of the product resembles a light cream or soft jelly. I applied it all over the face, avoiding the area under the eyes, left it on for 15 minutes and rinsed it off with warm water. After the mask, the skin became moisturized and nourished, and the redness disappeared from the face. I also felt the effect of light lifting (hyaluronic acid in the composition affects). The light aroma of the mask deserves a separate line - it seems that you are drinking fresh watermelon on the beach. And if you want to know about the brand's bestseller, read our special selection of products used by Korean women.

Face cream My Payot Jour Gelee, Payot
Tested by BeautyHack project manager Anastasia Lyagushkina
My love for Payot began with a harmonious combination of beautiful jars and magic tools inside them. I couldn't ignore the My Payot Jour Gelee face cream. Visually, it resembles fruit puree, and the aroma of apricot makes the product even more appetizing. I use it in the morning, for breakfast. As stated on the package, the cream gives the skin a radiance and moisturizes it perfectly.
The jelly texture is well distributed and perfectly absorbed - after application, the skin looks fresh and radiant, and becomes soft to the touch. What is important - the texture of the cream is very light, it is not felt on the skin and does not create a film effect.
Bottom line: the skin is hydrated, fresh, radiant, a tropical scent reminiscent of summer, for a couple more hours with me - I'm happy!
Price: about 2,000 rubles.

The Japanese brand Shiseido dedicated the WASO collection to millennials - all products are produced for those who are in their twenties. Here you will find the latest technology, excellent protective properties, and unpretentious, but stylish packaging. Jelly Lotion is not only for young people - its moisturizing properties are ideal for dry and dehydrated skin of all ages.
The product moisturizes the skin and also has an anti-inflammatory effect and neutralizes redness caused by acne and rashes. Among the ingredients is a mysterious ingredient called "snow ear". In fact, it is an ice mushroom that is highly prized in Japan for its beauty-supporting ingredient. It absorbs water like a sponge - and dehydrated skin becomes instantly hydrated after applying the gel. The product honestly earned its place in my beauty cabinet, and read about my other "favorites" here.

Soothing mask-jelly Refresh Jelly Mask, Cefine
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova
The jelly mask is designed to soothe irritated and damaged skin. It can be used to repair inflamed skin: it tightens pores, improves complexion and has an antibacterial effect. The mask can also be used after sunbathing: it will soothe and restore the skin after exposure to aggressive sunlight. It smells of citrus - it contains oils of orange, lavender and pelargonium. When green jelly is applied, the skin feels slightly cool. By the way, the mask is indelible, so it should be applied after the main skin cleansing, before the lotion. After absorption, no sticky layer remains, so the skin feels comfortable.

Night care for wrinkles Serum Végétal, Yves Rocher
Tested by the special correspondent of Beautyhack Daria Mironova
I decided to give this night cream to my mother for testing, because its effect on me is unlikely to be noticeable. The aroma of the product is neutral, the jar closes tightly thanks to a convenient twist-off lid, and the consistency of the cream is dense, but not greasy.
My mom has been using this night care for over two weeks. The very next day after applying the cream, the skin is hydrated and looks very rested. A week later, a lifting effect was noticeable, the skin became more elastic and fine wrinkles were slightly smoothed out.
Price: 1 590 rub.

Jelly for washing Grape Stem Cell, Librederm
Tested by BeautyHack editor Anastasia Speranskaya
In a translucent burgundy tube - thick jelly with the aroma of berry fruit juice. The cleanser from the well-known Librederm is ideal for owners of sensitive skin - it will cleanse gently, will not irritate the eyes or cause redness. Jelly is not intended for make-up remover, but this is not required from him - I wash my face with a product in the morning to refresh and prepare my skin for care.
The composition contains grape stem cells, which have an anti-aging effect, cranberry oil and very mild surfactants - after washing, the skin remains soft and moisturized, without the "squeak" effect, which means that you can not worry about tightness and peeling.
Price: 506 rub.
Jelly mask Fomo, Lush
Tested by BeautyHack editorial assistant Karina Ilyasova:
“Jelly masks were presented by the Lush brand this year. Therefore, due to the unusual format, you should at least try them. The Fomo mask is used to soften and soothe irritated skin. For this, the composition contains calamine powder, which is based on zinc oxide. Neroli oil is responsible for toning the skin and leveling the tone. Scientists have shown that it not only reduces scars and stretch marks, but also increases the production of serotonin.
The scheme for using the product is as follows: pinch off a little jelly from the jar and rub the mask in your palms until it acquires a pasty texture. Important: do it exclusively with dry hands and apply the mask only to dry skin, otherwise nothing will work.
The effect after use is pleasant: the skin color is evened out and redness really becomes less. But this is not a lifesaver if you have very problem skin. Rather, it works well as a light cleansing mask for normal to dry skin."
Price: 570 rub.
