Reviews mention

  • Exceptionally hydrating serum texture
  • Lightweight occlusive jelly finish
  • Comfortable reusable silicone mask
  • Playful, science-driven branding
  • Sticky, tacky serum finish
  • 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 really wanted to like this. But it make my face sticky and oily. I will not be using again

  • I really wanted to love this product because I saw some influencers who I trust promote it and say a bunch of great things about it. Ultimately I like it but don't love it. After application, I let it sit on my skin for a minute before applying moisturizer on top. It kind of just sits on the outer layer of my skin with a semi-sticky finish but I'm not sure if it penetrates deeper at all. I don't find it much more hydrating than my Missha essence and it's not something I've been wanting to reach for all the time. When I wake up in the morning I don't feel like my skin was more moisturized than before I used this product. But it does provide hydration in a unique way. Also I love that you can get a tube refill so you don't have to repurchase the whole thing.

  • I started following one of the founders, Lisa Guerrera, on tik tok when this line was still in development, and really appreciated her matter-of-fact explanations of the science behind skincare, PARTICULARLY how overhyped hyaluronic acid is. I was a chemistry major in college and wanted to go into beauty and skincare, but never did – Lisa is living the life I secretly wanted! So I was biased towards becoming a fan. I haven't bought the avant guard mask – it sounded kind of messy to clean, keep, and store – but am a big fan of the super saturated serum, which is exactly as advertised. It feels a lot like CosRx snail mucin, but is a bit stickier/tackier when it dries down. Initially I was irritated by that stickiness, but unlike snail mucin, when I apply it at night, my skin still feels dewy and moisturized in the morning. I started using Super Saturated when I was beginning using a lot of products at once (went from basically zero skincare routine to actually washing my face twice a day!) so it is hard to tell what changes are from the serum versus other products I started using. That said, I've started a low-concentration retinol, and exfoliating 3x a week, and haven't been irritated by either, and I do think super saturated has likely protected my skin from irritation and breakout during that period.

    Maybe explain / demonstrate storage and care for the avant guard in a video, or offer a reusable storage bag/case for the mask? Mostly, I am just excited to see what your brand does next.

  • I have the mask and the serum! I have loved this mask since the first iteration. I love the environment saving efforts and the products.

  • I liked this reusable face mask for holding in my moisturizer and giving my skin an extra glow. The straps over the ears made it convenient and easy to wear.

    Feedback

    Perhaps it can come with a case to keep it in.

  • I loved the functionality of this mask. Held the product close to my skin and did not allow it to dry out. Got the larger size and glad I did. It was perfect. Will definitely be using this on a regular basis.

  • Experiment is one of my favorite skincare brands. I feel like a cool alien when I use their reusable face mask, and their Softwear lip balm is amazing. I also love their branding and social media presence.

  • Experiment to friend I tried the face mask products really felt good on my face and skin I would recommend this product

  • I was never a major sheet mask user to begin with so I wasn't sure I'd get my money's worth out of this but this is such an incredible product and such a great way to use something you already have and just get an amplified effect of whatever that serum is offering that you already know you love. The mask is super comfortable and the company has been so good when it comes to allowing me to exchange things for a bigger size and replacing it with mine broke once.

  • I recently bought both the super saturated and the buffer jelly during their Black Friday. I have only used the jelly once and I think it will take some time for me to get used to it and see how I like it. (I have never slugged before). I have however used the super saturated several times as my humectant and it is very hydrating!

  • Super Saturated is CHEFS KISS! Such a unique product that has made a difference in the health of my skin/barrier. It’s slimey in the best way that sinks in immediately <3

  • I have tried this brand multiple timed before, i really noticed a change. It worth it, and the price is very affordable !

  • Tried this product as a new glycerine moisturizer. One bottle lasted me around 3 months. Love it, left my skin feeling dewy, super plump, and a nice glow as well. Packaging isn’t my favorite, but the product is so worth it!

  • I tried the snail-mucin like product and bot does it work. It’s way thicker and stickier than other products I’ve tried, meaning the quality is superior. I wish the size of the product was a little larger. I’ve been using it daily for two weeks and am already worried about running out. Very updated 80s packaging, which made it fun.

  • Loved the products I've tried from them so far! Excited to see how they expand their line. Super saturated is a very hydrating serum and leaves my skin feeling plump. Their buffer jelly is my go to for slugging.

  • I have used the booster jelly and super saturated. I love the booster jelly to slug with at the end of the night but have been having a hard time with super-saturated during the day. I need to keep trying how I layer it. My skin feels super hydrated and refreshed from these two products.

  • I love the innovative packaging and marketing. Also, the products themselves offer such a nice break from the skincare market's focus on destroying the skin barrier. My personal favorite is the buffer jelly which is like a gel/thick oil consistency but dries down to feel like nothing!

  • I love this brand with my whole heart. I am onto bottle number 3 of Super Saturated and halfway through my buffer jelly. It has done wonders for my skin barrier and it's easy to incorporate even for those that don't have a 12 step routine. I have put so many people onto the brand. They are growing rapidly so they have had some hiccups with fulfillment but have been very transparent.

  • I love how this one affordable product can easily transform the performance of any skincare, and allows you to receive all the benefits and you know your skincare is actually working because you know it’s now getting smeared into your pillow or clothes when you sleep!

  • This is a really interesting product. The buffer jelly is a gel to oil slugging product to basically seal up moisture in your skin. I did enjoy the texture of the product and my skin did wake up more moisturized, but I don’t know that it is worth the price for the size.
