Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask is an ultra-gentle gel that helps soothe, hydrate, and detoxify the look of dry, irritated skin with botanical extracts of cucumber, papaya, chamomile, pineapple, sugar maple, sugarcane, orange, lemon, bilberry, and aloe vera. It’s ideal for helping to calm and soothe the skin's appearance after sun exposure, peels, waxing, facials, and extractions.
After emptying
Peter Thomas Roth Rose Stem Cell Bio-Repair Mask, it is time to try out Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask which unfortunately, was another disappointment. I received 5 x 14ml Peter Thomas Roth masks as a Christmas gift some time back which is available on Sephora during the Christmas period.
Packaging, Scent and Texture
The one in my arsenal is a 14ml travel sized tube and I also bought a 50ml size a few months later, when it was on sale, when I was running out of rinse-off masks.
It has a light cucumber scent mixed with some fragrance. The light green gel texture has a cooling and refreshing sensation upon application on skin.
How To Use :
1) Apply a generous coat on clean skin.
2) Allow mask to remain on for 10 minutes.
3) Rinse with cool water.
Tip : Use two to three times a week or daily for intensive hydration.
Performance and Ingredients
Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask is marketed as an ultra-gentle, refreshing gel mask designed to soothe, hydrate, and detoxify dry, irritated skin using a blend of botanical extracts. With its cooling texture and calming ingredients, I had high hopes—especially given how often my skin craves hydration and relief from environmental stress.
Upon application, the mask does deliver a refreshing, cooling sensation, which initially feels promising. However, that’s where the benefits ended for me. I didn’t experience any noticeable soothing effect, and surprisingly, it didn’t hydrate my skin at all. The gel absorbed quickly into my skin, almost disappearing within minutes, but left behind a slight taut feeling—particularly around my philtrum (the area between the nose and upper lip), which was a bit uncomfortable.
After rinsing off the mask, my skin felt virtually unchanged. My skin texture, especially on the nose, remained rough and dehydrated. Unfortunately, the mask didn’t deliver the results I was looking for, and I was left disappointed—especially considering the price point of the 50ml purchase.
Overall, while this mask might work for someone with very sensitive or reactive skin looking for a barely-there treatment, it was simply too gentle for what my skin needed. I’ll be reaching for something more hydrating and restorative next time.

Conclusion
To conclude, while Peter Thomas Roth Cucumber Gel Mask offers a refreshing, cooling application, it ultimately fell short of its claims—for my skin, at least. It neither soothed nor hydrated effectively, and the lack of visible results left me underwhelmed. This mask may suit those with very sensitive or non-dehydrated skin looking for a light, calming treatment, but for skin in need of deeper hydration and noticeable soothing benefits, it may be too gentle to make a real difference.
