Andalou Cannacell Glow Mask
I took the opportunity of a Priceline sale to purchase the Andalou Cannacell Glow Mask. I was drawn to this mask after some discussion rave reviews about this product. And, well I'm willing to try anything that promises to provide a glow to my skin!
This mask contains antioxidants taken from CannaCell hemp stem cells which hydrate skin, whilst also exfoliating the skin, thus claiming to result in glowing skin.
The mask comes in a 50g plastic jar. It is a green product with an interesting jelly consistency. I found the scent to be a natural citrus and herbal one that is quite pleasant.
The jelly consistency is not only cool to the touch, but is easy to apply the suggested thin layer on the face. Instructions direct that mask should be on the skin between 10 to 20 minutes, with a warning that there could be some warmth felt.
Upon application my skin starts to tingle almost immediately. Not painfully so, but 15 minutes is about the time I'm ready to remove because I'm done with the sensation.
The tingle is all worth it because my skin is left soft and smooth with a brighter complexion. The Andalou Cannacell Glow mask is a win for me!
Very tingly and scented, but leaves skin smooth!
This mask contains hemp stem cells and is promoted as an exfoliating mask that leaves skin glowy.
It contains botanical enzymes, organic hemp seed oil and pure plant essential oils. It is marketed for all skin types. For those looking for vegan friendly, cruelty free products, this one ticks all the boxes.
First impression: it is a jelly mask with quite a strong scent. It is a natural, almost citrus like scent. It is a thick, rich mask. It is easy to spread and I find I don't need to use a lot.
The biggest thing about this mask is that it tingles quite strongly on my skin. I have sensitive skin so I was a bit cautious when it started tingling, and I have to say it didn't subside while I had it on. I have to say it's not particularly comfortable, but I also don't regularly use chemical exfoliants so possibly my skin is not used to products like this. Luckily, I could see that my skin wasn't turning red.
As it's quite thick and gooey, it takes a bit of time to rinse off (would probably help using a face cloth), and it revealed smooth skin, although I wouldn't call it "glowy". A big perk is that I feel like the serums and moisturisers I applied afterwards sinked in really well.
The first time Iused the Andalou CannaCell® Glow Mask was a whole new experiencefor me even though I was used to the Andalou brand of products. This is a botanical rich jelly mask packaged in a white jar with lime green printing and a metallic lime green lid. Very eye catching.
The mask is a pale moss green and is almost invisible when applied. It has a sort of herbal fragrance, or something you would expect from natural ingredients.
I first cleanse my skin and then apply the jelly mask which feels very cooling and calming at first until the tingling starts. Wow! This stuff really feels like it is working. I leave the mask on for 15 minutes and then rinse off using a wash cloth and warm water.
I absolutely love how my skin looks so alive and glowing after using this mask. I have used other Andalou masks but the CannaCell® Glow Mask is probably my favourite. I haven’t experienced any sensitivity from using this mask.
This is a highly effective mask giving instant results but I stick to leaving it on no longer than 20 minutes and only apply it once or twice a week. The Andalou CannaCell® Glow Mask is a product I’m happy to recommend if you can put up with the tingling or stinging sensation.
Really good affordable exfoliating mask that makes skin glow.
Comes in 50mL plastic jar. It is jelly like and no grease or clay. My skin is combo to oily with very big pores and need something that will exfoliate well chemically without irritation. This mask delivers. It is packed with enzymes that help to slough off dead skin cells and smooth the skin. After use my skin is soft and smoother with natural glow. Straight away upon application I feel slight tingle. It goes away, still I know the mask is doing its job. There was no irritation and no redness.

The mask is packaged in a small 50g plastic tub. Inside, the mask is a lime green, soft and jelly like in texture and consistency. It smells very citrusy in the jar likely from the tangerine oil however the scent is not that noticeable when applied onto the skin.
The first time I used this, I applied a thin layer after cleansing on towel dried skin. However on subsequent occasions, I applied a thicker layer. The mask does sting slightly, particularly around the T-section however it wasn't anything that was painful and did not last more than a minute. I think I have pretty resilient skin, so for those with sensitive skin may want to proceed with caution and conduct a patch test first.
I have used this a few times now and the stinging sensation doesn't seem to subside with each use like it can with other acid products. I found the intensity of the stinging seemed to change each time, perhaps depending how thickly I applied the mask or how poor of a shape my skin condition was in.
I really liked using this, it always left my skin soft, smooth, bright and glowing. I have used this multiple days in a row and have not experienced any adverse reaction either. Overall quite impressed with the results from such an affordable brand. The results are equivalent or better than some other higher-end priced resurfacing masks on the market.
This mask is great for when your skin needs some extra glow! My skin can get dull at times and this mask has helped a lot in making it appear radiant and youthful. It's a gel mask so it's lightweight and has a really cool texture. I apply it all over my face, leave it on for 15 minutes and then wash it off. What I like is that it's hydrating and yet has ingredients to help exfoliate and brighten my skin. There was some tingling but nothing uncomfortable or irritating. If your skin is sensitive I would recommend doing a patch test first. After several days I could see a real difference in my skin. Skin felt soft, plump and hydrated with a beautiful glow.
I absolutely love using this mask! It's a face mask that has a jelly texture to it so it's easy to put it on and just as easy to take off without the mess that comes with using clay masks. It's got a green colour to it and it smells nice as well. I put a thin layer all over my face and I could feel a bit of tingling on my cheeks and then it went away. It did not irritate my skin nor did it cause any sensitivities. It contains so many great ingredients including hemp seed oil, vitamin C, aloe vera, tangerine peel oil, and exfoliating enzymes to brighten and slough off dead skin. I leave it on for around 15 minutes and then I wash it off. It doesn't dry onto your face so you can easily wash it off with your hands or with a damp cloth. I have been using it for several weeks and it has made my skin look much brighter and feel much softer. I highly recommend it!
I’m a huge fan of face masks, and am always inclined to try one that is designed to give me glowing skin! I have tried a few Andalou Naturals skincare products in the past and have been pleased with the quality, price and results. This mask comes in a 50g jar and I love the bright green lid which is super eye catching in my bathroom. This is a moss green coloured mask and has a herbal citrus scent which I don’t like too much, but it’s not too strong. The texture is a thick but easy to apply gel, that instantly cools and hydrates your skin. It does make my skin tingle slightly given that it contains enzymes, and I only use a thin layer and avoid the eye area. I leave this mask on for about 15 minutes and gently remove it with warm water. It leaves my skin feeling soft, refreshed and hydrated. My complexion does look slightly brighter but I haven’t seen significant results. It also provides gentle exfoliation and my dry, flaky skin feels softer and smoother. Overall it’s a great product for the summer months as it’s cooling and refreshing. I think it would be suitable for normal to oily skin types.
Packed in a beautiful plastic jar (which I hope is made from recycled), this mask has light moss green color and lovely creamy gel like texture that is super easy to spread. I couldn't detect any particular fragrance. As soon as you apply it, you can start to feel the work going on - warm, tingling and a slightly uncomfortable feeling - similar to all acid products I use. Good thing I was warned to expect it, otherwise wouldn't have dared to keep it on for 20 minutes like said in the direction.. and it was super easy to do so. The tingling feel subsided within first 5 minutes and rest of it was easy peasy - no dripping or anything - it just stayed on.
I was almost worried to get a red face from a mask that felt so potent but was surprised and delighted to just see beautifully clean looking skin that definitely had the promised to glow. It's so wonderful to find a product that is made with natural ingredients but still packs a punch in terms of effectiveness. This is apparently also suitable for sensitive skin - how amazing is that.
I found this gel mask really easy to apply and remove, and on good skin days, it left me with a healthy, natural, glowing complexion. However I expected more from it, I didn't really find it exfoliated my skin at all. I have oily-combo skin, prone to blackheads and it can take quite a lot of exfoliation. The best thing about this mask was keeping it in the fridge during summer and applying on hot days - it was a relaxing way too cool down my skin. I find some gel masks are too moisturising for me, but this one was just light enough and easily removed with water, without leaving any residue. I really liked the fresh scent - a great pick-me-up and quite relaxing. I just applied a thin layer to a clean, dry face while I watched TV for about 20 minutes - it was a good way to chill out - otherwise unfortunately it didn't do much else for me.
I really liked the after effects of this mask, my skin was more glowy and felt really hydrated especially when used in combination with the Beauty Oil.
I thought the smell was pretty and mild but I didn't much like the stickiness of the mask, on my second use I used an old makeup brush to apply it and I feel like I got a much better result.
I also really loved how refreshing the mask felt on my skin, I have a habit of using it after the gym to cool down my skin and clear off all the grime.
I Will be purchasing again
I really liked the idea of the mask but did not feel it had a hugely positive effect on me. The product had a really nice gel texture and was really refreshing. I did not have any tingling or negative results. Which being an exfoliating mask I expected to have! Therefore didn't feel like it did the job it promised.
The masque is a nice smooth texture and doesn’t dry out like others. It takes a while to dry; I let it set for about 15-20 mins before washing it off. Made my skin feel very soft and definitely brighter afterwards. It did have a tingling sensation while it was setting; but it looks like that’s normal.
I really liked this mask! I found it to feel lovely on my skin, cool and fresh. Once washed off, my skin felt soft, hydrated and clean. A truly lovely product to use! I would definitely recommend it. Not drying like so many other masks on the market. I have incorporated into my regular skin routine.
I really like this gel mask, the consistency is nice and it’s easy to use. It’s great value for money and is natural so it’s great for my sensitive skin. It has a slight tingly feel but not unpleasant. This is great to use at night before bed then follow up with a quality night cream. It leaves my skin glowing and feeling super soft and clean. The tub is easy to get product from, the pale green colour turns clear on skin and I love the plumped up feeling my skin has after. Great value. I would recommend this
I thoroughly enjoyed this mask, and saw immediate brightening effects on my skin
Hemp is something that I’d becoming really popular these days in health and beauty but I haven’t had much experience in using it. So I was really excited when I got to try this mask. The texture is a lovely, cooling gel that feels really comfortable on your skin after application. It is what my oily skin prefers. There isn’t any unpleasant scent to it, nor is it overpowering either. Leaving it in for about 10 minutes, I was really surprised by the immediate effects of the mask. My skin actually looked brighter and more awake, so it’s true to its name! The brand is a pretty respected brand in the skincare industry as well, and is accessible for its price point.
I highly recommend trying it out.
I have been using this mask for a couple of weeks now and find it to be light and hydrating. It has a nice consistency a bit thinner than most traditional ‘masks’ but it layers on well, and leaves skin feeling hydrated with a nice glow. The product has a pleasant fragrance. I’ll continue using the product but probably wouldn’t purchase again, as there are better alternatives on the market.
I was really really really excited to try this mask after loving the oil.
I put it on, and it isn't really a mask, more a jelly.
Like other comments I felt a burning sensation. I googled straight away and another lady had this happen but the result was amazing. Unfortunately not for me. I had two blind pimples which got essentially burnt off. It was extremely painful. I had burn marks which have scarred and I am really disappointed. However I absolutely love the oil so just be aware.
Replying to Candice N.Andalou Naturals: Thank you for the feedback! Due to the superpowered antioxidants and botanical enzymes that help to counteract free radicals and oxidative damage, it is normal to experience a noticeable tingling sensation. You are feeling the masque working! The natural enzymes are activating on the skin and dissolving the dead skin cells. If the tingling sensation doesn’t subside after a few minutes and it feels uncomfortable, then we advise to remove masque. We always recommend to patch test before trailing a new product and if you do have any more concerns please contact the brand @andalounaturals_au
I'd love to give this a 2.5 star review, because my overall impression was mediocre. The CannaCell name and hemp themed packaging seems a bit gimmicky and timed to take advantage of the current trend for products containing CBD oil, but the hemp seed oil presence in the actual product seems an insignificant token inclusion. It isn't clear from the box description or included instructions how much to use or what the product is aiming to achieve, just general mention of 'glow' and enzyme exfoliation.
I'd prefer tube packaging but the jar used is sturdy and closes tightly. The texture of the mask is really lovely, a thick gel that spreads nicely and feels cool on application.
Unlike other reviewers I didn't experience much of a tingling sensation, but I do already use glycolic and lactic acid exfoliants in my skincare routine already. There was some initial hydration and plumpness in the 5-10 minutes after washing the mask off, but I didn't notice any improvements in glow, texture, clarity of hydration of my skin with continued use. It isn't more effective than any of the current products in my rotation so I would be unlikely to repurchase.
