  • Exceptionally hydrating serum texture
  • Lightweight occlusive jelly finish
  • Comfortable reusable silicone mask
  • Playful, science-driven branding

  • Tiny, finicky squeeze packaging
  • Inconsistent mask facial fit
  • Potential breakout sensitivity

Experiment earns strong reviews for delivering deep, lasting hydration—Super Saturated soothes sensitive, eczema‑prone skin and pairs well with tretinoin, while Buffer Jelly seals moisture without heavy grease—yet the brand isn’t universally perfect. Users cite sticky/tacky textures, small or hard‑to‑dispense packaging, occasional breakouts or residue, and fit/storage quirks with the Avant Guard reusable mask.

  • I am a big fan of the software lip balm! I have one in my car, desk, purse, and bathroom. It leaves your lips so soft - it has no smell - a wonderful non sticky consistency! It’s your everyday must have with you at all times lip balm!

  • Experiment has blown me away. The Molevular Mesh cream is HEAVENLY. I have a very sensitive barrier and this cream heals it overnight. The texture is so unique and luxurious and I get so excited to use it. A few staple in my night time routine!

  • I love an indie skincare line and wanted to love their Super Saturated product but unfortunately it felt too heavy and too sticky on my face. I never reached for it and preferred my lighter serums that soaked into my skin more quickly. I love their packaging and think they still have a unique product line so I might try something different from their offerings in the future.

  • I love Experiment! Their skincare products use super innovative formulas, and I love how they include the science behind all of their ingredients that they choose to use. My all time favorite lip balm is their Softwear. It’s both moisturizing and gently exfoliating with a natural, hydrated finish. The perfect every day lip balm. I’ve purchased one tube with my own money, and I’ve also received one for free from the brand.

  • I purchased a 1 oz bottle of the buffer jelly through ThingTesting for a steep discount. Overall the jelly works well for slugging at night. It applies easily, more liquid that a traditional petroleum jelly. Though the product is expensive at normal price, it has lasted a long time.

  • I’ve repurchased super saturated at least five times now. It will always have a place in my routine. I like it more during humid times. It can be a little sticky, but it’s nothing a little misting can’t solve

  • This mask is just so fun! Like you can't help but laugh, the vibes are just that good when I'm wearing it. I appreciate the ear loops and two sizes (I got small 🥺👉👈).

    I know the bag it came in is resealable, but I wish it came with some sort of carrying case similar to that of the Dieux eye mask. Just a thought!

  • I love how strange and wonderful the brand is. Def speaks to my freak side. I really liked the concept of a reusable mask and the idea of it helping to keep the product on your face longer and help it seep in. I own all 3 of their products and they are all stellar! Amazing ingredients AND branding :)

  • I've tried using the Buffer Jelly in two ways: first, by mixing it with my moisturizer to give it a boost, and secondly, as the last layer of my skincare routine. It has an interesting texture for sure, kinda like a thick oil. I didn't really like how it felt on its own but loved mixing it in my moisturizer, I think it really absorbed into my skin better this way! I have VERY combination skin with eczema on my cheeks, and an oily t-zone. It was too heavy for my forehead and nose but after a few nights it did minimize my dry patches. I'm interested to see how it performs in the winter when my skin needs hydration the most! A little goes a longgg way and I wish the bottle was a bit easier to squeeze, I always squeeze out too much. Overall I've never tried a skincare product quite like this and if it works in the winter too, I'll definitely repurchase. Someone also mentioned it'd be great to compliment with a gua shua, which is a good idea!

  • The mask fits and feels great. It sits comfortably and doesn't pull on the ears. I was able to sit and work with the mask on which is a bonus. Using a disposable sheet mask means you have to lay semi-reclined the whole time and they usually don't fit very well. This was an awesome fit and I love that it's reusable.

    I don't love the color. Everything else was great!

  • As someone who considers themselves a lover of K-Beauty and J-Beauty, I have tried my fair share of sheet masks so I was really excited for the idea of a reusable mask. I have acne-prone skin so using techniques like slugging is always the best option for my skin to create an occlusive barrier to lock in moisture when my skin is feeling dehydrated. This does a great job at helping my products sink in and wearing it gives me a reminder to slow down and focus on some self care. The other bonus of this vs. regular sheet masks is that it's easier to drink and eat with them on and you don't have to worry about the mask juices getting in your mouth. I wear the size small and it fits my face perfectly. I feel like I have a pretty average sized face.

    Wear it anywhere you want to get strange looks😅. I always used it on flights because the recycled air makes my skin freakout and I scared a flight attendant once.

  • I hate how much I love this product. It just works! I love that you can pair it with any serum. (I use Supernal Cosmic Glow with mine.) It's gives your serum superpowers! This is the only product I have changed in my minimal skincare routine and people are constantly telling me I'm glowing. (And yes, I'm eating every moment of that up.) I initially thought the reusable design would be gross and messy in theory. It's actually so easy to clean. The serum comes off right away and it's fresh and clean for every use. I walk to Starbucks in this every morning when I get my coffee. $19 for this much attention is a steal! Every time I wear my mask the cost per use keeps going down which is a wild thought. Best value I've had in any skincare product. Highly recommend to anyone who's looking for that extra boost in their skincare routine.

    I wish it came with a serum and something cool to dry it on.

  • I really enjoyed these products for restoring my skin barrier after a round of accutane. The software lip balm is my new go to lip product. Im so excited to see they released a tinted set and can't wait to try them out! Packaging is so cute yet minimalistic as well

  • What a great concept! I love how you can pair any hydrating mask, serum, or moisturizer with it making it compatible with things I already have. I greatly appreciate how it stays on your face with the ear loops (unlike traditional sheet masks) so that I can multitask and move around while masking.

  • I honestly tried and got a bit addicted to their reusable face mask. I use my own face routine but this sheet is amazing to really lockdown treatment drops or serums. The one size fits all is actually real. I'm 35 years old and made my 16 year old niece and her best friend do the same because our faces have different sizes and shapes. Totally worth it.

  • This reusable silicone face mask from Experiment is brilliant! I really enjoy being able to use my own serum and not having the waste of a traditional single use sheet mask. The product is innovative and I love the brand's mission- "to make beauty worth thinking about, but not stressing about." Bravo for thinking about the planet when creating this (very fun) new product!

  • The lip balm is very nice, I enjoyed it a lot. Unfortunately it’s a very small tube ad I think it will run out quickly. I enjoyed experiments super saturated serum. Was very hydrating. I did not like the texture much. It was on the sticky side. Use it in tandem with their reusable mask and it really does help. Pretty good price as well.

  • Truly the best hydrating serum I’ve ever used. Skin looks and feels quenched, and soothed. The mask is the icing on the cake, providing an occlusive barrier to help everything absorb better. Update: I’ve now tried the buffer jelly as well. When I’m feeling especially dry/flaky/ dehydrated I’ll top my moisturizer with the buffer jelly in the evening and wake up with soft, hydrated skin. I can’t slug with fully occlusive products because I’ll break out, but buffer jelly lets me get the benefits without the acne.

    Love the refill system!

  • I really liked this mask! I like that I can use it with products I already have and make them work better for my skin. I notice the most difference when I use this with hydrating products. It helps my skin really drink them all in. Also love that it’s reusable so I’m not continuously using single use masks.

    Feedback

    The mask doesn’t fully sit on my face. I have some gapping around my chin and nose.

  • I tested this product for 3 weeks, the first two days my skin broke out but that could also be because I was using another new product at the same time. I will say after 3 weeks my skin is definitely looks hydrated, gotta make sure you don't use too much.
