A 75ml Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque costs $95 in AsterSpring salons, which was rather expensive in my opinion. I received a $100 voucher when I signed up for a facial package and I used it to redeem this mask as I didn't want to top up extra.
I used to be a big fan of Dermalogica products, especially the Ultra-Calming range for 6 long years back in 2009 but after various formulation changes along the years, their products were no longer a good fit for me and I broke up with them.
However, my sister is still a big fan of their products and I was the one who recommended it to her. Her favourite product is Dermalogica Skin Smoothing Cream which she has been using for the past 8-9 years.
For me, the 2 outstanding products are Dermalogica Precleanse and Dermalogica Multivitamin Power Recovery Masque which I love dearly but I no longer see a need to stick with them for life now.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque comes in a 75ml tube with a flick top cap that dispenses the silky cream lotion-like contents with an emollient and silicone-y texture and a unique scent.

Performance
Made in USA, Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque is formulated without artificial fragrances or colours and is also gluten-free, paraben-free, cruelty-free and vegan. It lasted me for about 3 months with twice daily usage. I tend to use hydrating mask quite generously due to my dehydrated skin concerns so it might last you for more than 3 months if you use it sparingly.
I didn't have high hopes for this as the previous version of Dermalogica Skin Hydrating Masque did not fare too well for me too. Unlike the previous version, I was told ( by the facial salon ) that this new version cannot be used on the undereye area, hence I kept it strictly for the face only. However, Amazon claimed that it can be used as an eye masque.
Creamy but lightweight in consistency, the masque is recommended for up to 15 minute usage stated on the tube, but on the website, its written that up to 10 minutes is recommended. On my skin, the masque was absorbed within 10 minutes , leaving a greasy shine in its place and its time to rinse off.
Because of the thin film it left behind after rinsing off, I prefer to use a muslin cloth for a more thorough cleanse as the last "wipe". Skin is slightly hydrated.
I also tried using the masque on dry flaky areas on my face and while the patches were gone immediately after masking, it reappeared after I am done with my whole skincare routine. I would only peg the mask as more suitable for optimal skin condition or for those with mildly dehydrated and dry skin as the hydration capability is insufficient for dehydrated and dry skin.
