Experiment reviews and discussion

As a big fan of the slugging method for my dry, eczema-prone skin, the idea of using a gel moisturizer was a hard sell but for the ThingDrop discounted price I couldn't say no. My fears were justified, I just don't see the point in this product. The texture on my skin is like a dry oil, it's extremely slippery so it doesn't sit where I put it- the whole point of a occlusive layer, and when I wake up in the morning I find that it's completely wiped off leaving my driest areas exposed. Even if it did work for me there is no way I could justify the original price when petroleum exists (if you don't want a heavy feeling just use less)

Such a cool product! I was worried they wouldn’t fit my face but it fits great. I really notice a difference when I put this mask on over hydrating products. Single use masks feel overly precious and wasteful. This mask has the same effect of a regular sheet mask but you can use it with a bigger variety of products without the waste!

I recently tried Super Saturated based on a review/recommendation on Tiktok from a cosmetic chemist (@alexeducatedmess) and I LOVE it. I have sensitive/combo skin with eczema and suffer from dryness in the winter especially. I am kicking myself for not stocking up on a sale they had recently but am hoping they have one during black friday! I plan on just getting refills so I can continue to use the bottle I have already (I'm almost out!) - I love that they have a refill purchase system! (with a slight discount) update 8/21/25: I have been through literal multiple bottles of super saturated (I have it on subscription lol) and tried the new moisturizer barrier cream on launch and am already on my second tube! I love Experiment's efforts to be sustainable as well. I truly squeeze every last drop out of my products haha. I also love Softwear but wish it was a little bigger!

I love Super Saturated! Gives the best boost of hydration and leaves my skin supple. I like to use it at night as my serum step. My skin type is oily and acne-prone.

I am such a huge fan of experiment after trying this thing drop! The packaging is super fun and it will definitely stand out on your shelf, but most importantly, it’s incredibly efficacious. It’s like a mix of an oil and Vaseline and it’s really great for people who don’t like the idea of slugging But still want the benefits. I’ve loved my product so much that I ended up getting the super saturated one that is in a blue bottle and I’m so excited to try it. I’ve heard such wonderful things about that product being infinitely better than hyaluronic acid. The fact that they’re able to create such effective yet affordable products is a testament to experiment! Branding-wise I have to say I’m really excited about seeing fun, bright colors that are moving away from millennial pink!

I love the concept of the Buffer Jelly and so far have had good results giving my skin some extra moisture. I love the slightly odd texture of the product. The fun packaging and science-backed formulations really add to the overall feeling of a solid, thought-out company (as opposed to a quick gimmick). Curious to try more of their products. Only thing that I would change is that I have a hard time getting a smaller amount of product to disperse.

The Buffer Jelly gets 6/5 for packaging and fun, and for getting us customers excited to use the product. (Their site is also super fun to scroll.) I find the most benefit when using the Buffer Jelly at night, as it locks in whatever products I've put on my face for the longest stretch of time without as much wear, i.e. being out in the sun and sweating. "Oil-gel" is a good way to describe the consistency, as it's in between: its viscosity is more gel to me, but the feel of the product is oil-like, and that's how it feels after applying it on my skin. That said, it's not overly oily, and it seemingly disappears into my skin fairly quickly. As far as effect, based on personal experience, I've seen the most improvement when using the product consistently at least once a day. For me, I noticed my skin hasn't been as dry in my T-zone, which it sometimes can be in the summer. I'm going to shelf it for now and look forward to using the product throughout the winter months, when I feel it will really help lock in moisture. I'd also be excited to try Super Saturated, and look forward to keeping an eye on this brand to see what else they come out with!

I was able to score the Experiment Jelly Buffer as a Thingdrop. I found it to be a great alternative to rubbing Vaseline over my hydrating products. It comes in a gel oil mix and was easy to spread. It was fast absorbing and did not leave my skin feeling sticky. A must if you're into slugging.

I tried the Buffer Jelly and am obsessed! My skin was visibly softer and clear after a week of using this. Typically, skin products that are too oily or thick really bug me but I think the Buffer Jelly had a perfect texture. Experiment only offers a few different products and based on my experience with the Buffer Jelly, I can’t wait to see all of the cool products they come up with!

fun experience but didn't seem to have a long term effect!

Feels great on the skin, but is super tiny, and hard to control how much product comes out, since it is a squeeze bottle.

I tried Super Saturated and it definitely does what it promises - it's really hydrating and protective of the skin barrier. I'm a big skincare junkie and I've never tried a product like this before. Definitely worth trying if you have sensitive or dry skin - it's made a huge difference in the winter!

I tried the serum. The texture is very sticky and interesting. I have super dry skin and was hoping the high glycerin concentration would do a lot but I don’t feel like it greatly surpassed other hydrating serums. I still liked it a lot though!

I actually really enjoy this thing. Makes you want to start a face mask routine.

Easy to figure out, and a super simple product.

Ok, I was skeptical about this at first and it sat on my counter for a while. But this is a great product! I'm petite, so the small size fit my face perfectly, and the ear loops were very comfortable. What I really like is that unlike regular disposable sheet masks, the only side with any type of liquid is the side that touches your face, so I can keep my glasses on and do other things while I have the mask on. There's no mess and it's super easy to clean when you're done. I think this would be a great gift for friends who are into beauty/skincare products.

Really love this product. For those of us who loves sheet masks, but are tired of the waste it creates, this is a lifesaver. I found that it functions exactly as advertised - the only issue is that it doesn't perfectly lay flat, but that could be user error. I'll keep trying!

I'm obsessed with the Buffer Jelly and Super Saturated serums! Both are thick and moisturize. I love that Super Saturated soaks into my skin and makes it glisten. Buffer Jelly always leaves my skin soft and plumb the morning after I use it. I really live that I can use these products on days I exfoliate/get a chemical peel because my skin is really reactive. When I use Buffer Jelly, I skip a moisturizer because my skin will get little bumps. I have already repurchased both products!

Buy this brand rn. The Super Satty is so hydrating and a great texture. Buffer Jelly is the perfect consistency. Those + the Avant Guard = perfect skincare routine. This is my fourth rebuy of Satty & Jelly.

Really enjoying using the Buffer Jelly after I cleanse and moisturize before bed! I wake up and my skin feels super soft, which I love. I do think the bottle is a little rigid which makes it hard to squeeze out the gel. A flexible tube might be easier!
