Review of Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Mask

About a month ago I was given a tube of Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Mask as a gift. Being a huge fan of Estee Lauder's cosmetics and line of skin care I was really excited to try this one out for myself.

Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Mask promises a bunch of different things for your skins benefit. First is that it will amplify your skins natural ability to make collagen, next it promises to plump up the skin for a healthier, more refreshed looking face, and lastly it will moisturize and brighten the look of tired lackluster skin.

It seemed pretty good, packed with a lot of promises, I went ahead and tried it for the first time.

My Use:
 
Applying Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Mask is interesting. It's got this odd salmon color to it, with a neat metallic tin man like finish that looks really odd on the face. As the formula sits for some time you will see the color begin to intensify into a more metallic burnt salmon orange. It's actually a really pretty color, like a pretty eyeshadow, with a glimmering metallic finish.
As it sits, I began to feel it tingling my skin, which was actually a pleasant feeling.

Once I washed it off, my face definitely felt ultra clean and refreshed. As far as looking more plum, and bright I did not see much of a difference.

I liked however the deep clean feeling, so I had no complaints. I figured perhaps after a few more regular uses I would see a difference in the long run.

The following morning however, I awoke to find an array of newly developed pimples, which really made me mad because my skin only tends to break out when a product irritates it, and apparently this one had irritated the skin.

Once the breakouts cleared up, I decided to try the mask again, hoping that the last break out was perhaps caused by other influences.

I went ahead and used the mask the same way I had before, as directed. The next day the exact same thing happened the last time I had used Estee Lauder Resilience Lift Extreme Ultra Firming Mask. I wrote it off as too irritating to my skin to continue to use it, as I hate break outs more than small fine lines.

Considering the fact that my skin looked the same both times I used the mask, I figured it was not worth continuing to use, as I'd have more and more break outs if I continued to keep using it.

Overall:
 
It works as a great cleanser, and leaves the skin feeling really clean, however the appearance of my skin did not change, and the mask caused break outs. I can't really recommend this one based off of that alone. The price is also way too steep for the amount of product you are actually getting.
