Review (4/5): Tonica's Sparkling Oxygen Mask Feels Like a Work in Progress
There's much to like about Tonica's Sparkling Oxygen Mask, a unique spa treatment in a bottle offering oxygen skin-energizing treatments in a less than two-ounce canister that one can do easily at home in a matter of minutes.
The experience itself is pleasurable, the canister's pump action offering a bit of the energizing mask that contains acai, resveratol, and grapefruit cell extract to infuse the skin with oxygen, help clear up free radicals, and brighten/even skin tone.
I will admit my initial impression was a bit low given the relatively small canister arrived with a slightly uneven label. This is something I wouldn't expect from what is undeniably a more premium product. I set aside that concern and enthusiastically tried the product. It seems like when the mask settles in the canister that it takes a couple of pumps to get it to dispense, though once it does everything is fine. These are minor bugs, but if they want to tap into the premium market then presentation matters.
It takes very little to apply and it smooths out evenly on the face and you let it activate over the next 5-10 minutes before rinsing it off. I could definitely feel it activate and I will definitely say my face felt vibrant and energized throughout my work day each time I've used it. I noticed on video meetings that I even looked more energized. So, that's pretty cool.
I'm not sure I'm seeing anything resembling a long-term benefit with the mask. This feels like something I'd use on a day when I have an important meeting or am really dressed to impress. The way that it brightens the skin makes me look healthier and more alert. So, it's not a daily use kind of product for me but it's certainly something I can see turning to when my face needs that extra boost because it definitely gives it a rather remarkable boost that looks and feels wonderful.
While packaging and presentation could use some tweaking, I'm still inclined to give this a thumbs up and it's a product I'll continue to use and then I'll evaluate any future purchases once I see how my face looks and feels once this canister is gone.
