  • Innovative, science-driven formulations
  • Deep, lasting hydration performance

Experiment earns strong reviews for innovative, science-forward hydration that works—Super Saturated boosts lasting moisture and Softwear delivers plush, non-sticky lip comfort—while the reusable Avant Guard mask enhances serums and reduces waste. Weaknesses surface around fit gaps and storage for the mask, sticky or slimy textures for some products, occasional breakouts or minimal long‑term effect for a few users, and fussy, small or hard‑to-control packaging.

  • I was wary of this brand after I ordered the v1 Avant Garde mask -- I saw the brand on TikTok and ordered one of the first drops of the mask and didnt love the fit (or results for my skin). That being said, I recently ordered the 2 topical products and LOVE them. Keep in mind my skin is super dry and I have moderate eczema on my face some days..... Supersaturated is difficult to compare to other products because it really is different, but I'll use it instead of snail mucin for a similar, if not better, effect. Love that the packaging is refillable as well. Buffer jelly is really great product barrier sealant product, but the packaging isn't great because it's difficult to dispense product (even when it's new/full). I much prefer Buffer Jelly to a layer of vaseline bc leaves similar feel on my skin without being greasy (but vaseline is much much cheaper so). If I could buy either/both in bulk or at value pricing, I would. As for branding and aesthetic? yeah they're really leaning into a gen-z futuristic angle and I love it. it's fun and builds community!

  • After a long wait, Super Saturated finally arrived in my mailbox. I LOVE THIS PRODUCT SO MUCH. It immediately gave me the plump, bouncy skin that I've tried to achieve with a dozen different products that either did nothing or broke my sensitive skin. My only complaint is that this doesn't come in a larger size. I love that they offer a refill to help reduce packaging though. I've been wasting my time with hyaluronic acid serums, but apparently glycerin in the magic ingredient. Experiment is a brand that I heard about on Tiktok, but I love that they are starting their product line small and focusing their efforts on science backed products.

  • I tied the buffer jelly as a thingdrop and was really surprised with the hydration it gives. I live in a pretty dry area so its nice to use a moisturizer at night and then lock it in with the buffer jelly. It really helps my skin look glowy and hydrated in the mornings after I use it.

  • Feels great, totally adds that extra bit of moisture. Only complaint, the bottle is a bit hard to precisely squeeze, sometimes too much comes out.

  • I liked the product and thought my face look more hydrated in the morning tho a little bit sticky

  • This reusable sheet mask was so helpful and my skin care routine. I always hated having to throw away my shit mess because it felt a little wasteful but now that is not the case I just applied a couple drops of my serum and applied the reusable silicone mask, this was a great way to end my spa night.

  • I avidly used the reusable face mask the first week I got it - but haven't picked it up since... haven't pinpointed exactly why, but I do think the way of storing it in the reusable bag it came in might be a reason. It's not something I keep out on my counters so I tend to forget about it.

    Feedback

    If there was a different storing option for the mask that's also reusable, like a case or something that I could let the mask dry on after use AND store in afterward, I think I would feel compelled to incorporate it into my routine more often.

  • I found this brand on tiktok during the pandemic and loved the idea of a sustainable face mask. I bought one as soon as it was available and use it often. It's a great idea and can be used with any serum or moisturizer to prevent evaporation before your skin can fully absorb the product.

    Feedback

    I will say that I purchased the first iteration, which doesn't have the best fit for my face. They have updated their mask recently, but I just fold the chin over to maximize coverage.

  • It was cute and fun, but I'm not sure how much I'll be using this. I prefer the one-time use face masks. I don't like having to wash it because I think bacteria still remains.

    Feedback

    I don't know if you can improve this product at all. Maybe have the brand come out with sustainable one-time use face masks.

  • I nabbed one of these reusable face masks in a Thingdrop. I love sheet masks, but don't love tossing the packaging each time and really wanted to make an effort not to buy them anymore. The stretchy part of the Experiment mask that goes behind your ear is quite comfortable and makes the mask stay on better than a traditional sheet mask would. I found that the mask didn't quite lay against the skin in certain areas - perhaps I need to put more product on next time? After using it, I simply rinsed it off, hung it to dry, and put it back in the pouch it came in for storage. Overall, this scratches the itch for a sheet mask.

  • Fun mask and great color!!! The size small fits me perfect and I would say I have a medium sized head. I love the elastic ear loops. The mask stays in place and it doesn't slip off like the disposable sheet masks. It's super easy to clean and works great!

  • Such a great product - easy to clean and comfy - love scaring my kids with this thing. Great product that I will be recommending to friends and family.

    I wish they had more info about sizing - choosing between small and large was daunting for me - but I picked L and it's fine - I would say my head is largish for a female but it's not huge.

  • My bathroom shelf is for real becoming an Experiment stronghold. I've tried Super Satty, Plasma Wash, and Softwear and have loved ALL of them. I've also tried the reusable mask and unfortunately, that one is not for me, even though I wanted it to be! I've used Super Satty for maybe two years now and absolutely love that product. It keeps my skin so hydrated and juicy. I recently tried the Plasma Wash cleanser because it felt like my old cleanser kept making my skin super dry and I'm now a convert. I love that way it feels on my skin and I love that it's a glycerin-depositing cleanser. Softwear is also one of my fav lippies. I've noticed with Softwear that when my lips are REALLY dry, I have to reach for something else. But it's a *great* everyday lip treatment. Next up, I really want to try their Molecular Mesh. I'm sure I will love it just like I love all the rest of their products. Experiment stan for life.

  • Enjoying this brand a lot. Got one of almost everything thanks to a black friday sale. The mask is so cool and innovative. Super Saturated is nice and feels like it is working - I use at night, I think it might be a weird texture during the day. The real winner is softwear. I hope they come out with tinted versions in the future, but love the current scent free/tint free as a good basic lip balm. Love the fact they are science focused and coming out with truly innovative products!

  • Softwear is the star of the brand! Barrier jelly feels good but I don't like the bottle because it's not very disability friendly. It's difficult to squeeze and gets a bit too oily for sustainable use! (AKA it's hard to open and control and squeeze out the proper portion-- would like a pump mechanism like the Super Saturated!)

  • The super saturated is a great product on paper and I like the consistency. Unfortunately in the time I’ve been using it my dehydration lines have been pretty visible. (This is in a routine with a basic cleanser, super saturated, a rich moisturizer, and Tret .5 3x a week.) I think I’ll need to incorporate another hydrating step in addition to super saturated.

  • I used the buffer jelly and liked it a lot. I applied to a few dry spots on my face before bed and found I woke up way less dry than usual. I'm not sure if I'll purchase again or if it will end up being a one time thing, but did really like using it!

  • The super saturated serum leaves my skin so hydrated and dewy. I’m excited to use it more during the winter

  • The Super Saturated glycerin serum is great for moisturizing pre-makeup, especially under the eyes.

  • experiment is one of my favorite innovative skincare brands! the reusable mask is a staple in my weekly skincare. i was lucky enough to snag the buffer jelly during a thing drop and i loved it. barrier support products can often be too heavy on my skin but this felt light. i don’t love the packaging because the squeeze bottle makes it hard to dispense a specific amount of product. often, it would dispense too much product. this was a minor issue as i still loved the product and have repurchased it since!
