I was excited to see Trader Joe’s come out with a pumpkin overnight face mask for the fall season this year. I’ve recently gotten more into skincare, and had been curious about trying the Peter Thomas Roth pumpkin mask that looked similar to this. Although after comparing the ingredients, I don’t think this is a dupe of that. So I would go into it without having any expectations about it being like the PTR one.
Verdict on this one: It smells nice, with a fresh pumpkin scent, and not overly cloying like some pumpkin stuff can be. It’s thicker than for example the popular Glow Recipe sleeping masks (like the watermelon Glow Recipe one, though I haven’t tried the TJ’s watermelon overnight mask to compare it to). This isn’t a bad thing, just noting for people who care about texture. It spreads easily over the face, although it seems to take a bit longer to sink in than the Glow Recipe type.
I have combination skin and get acne/breakouts pretty easily, and I’m happy to report that I did not wake up with any breakouts the morning after using this. My skin didn’t feel dry or overly greasy either. It didn’t feel as ‘firmed up’ as when using the Glow Recipe overnight mask, but it did feel nicer than if i hadn’t used it at all.
Overall I would give this 3.5/5, or a B+. It’s totally worth getting if you like pumpkin stuff and doing overnight masks (it can also be used as a regular rinse-off mask if you use more at a time). It doesn’t necessarily compare in terms of dramatic skincare effect to the more expensive sleeping masks (at least in the short term comparing 1 night vs 1 night of each), but for the price it’s a perfectly good deal and enjoyable to use, especially for adding fall seasonal vibes! I don’t regret getting it, and I’ll use the rest of the jar.

I just recently visited Trader Joe’s and loved it! Anyways of course while I was there I saw this pumpkin overnight face mask. I have combination skin as well. But the smell,texture, I mean absolutely everything about this product I love! I’ve had it for a week now and no dramatic differences but I will say my skin does glow and feels super soft the next morning! I would absolutely recommend this product to my pumpkin loving ladies and gents!

Just tried it and I love it! I put it on last night after washing my face and drying it. I put it on with a silicone brush tool that I would use to put on any mask. I had planned on not wearing it all night because I do have very sensitive skin, but then it actually just soaked into my skin after awhile leaving it incredibly soft and glowing! So since it reacted so well with my skin and it soaked in I left it on my face. And here I am the next morning with it still on and my skin is still fine.

Initially it didn’t irritate my face when I slept with the mask, but several months later it did. I didn’t have this problem with the watermelon mask. Yes, it does smell like pumpkin. No problems if I leave the mask on for 10 minutes or so.

I like the smell and the txture. It goes on very easily and feels good. I have been using it most nights for about 2 weeks. I just read you should only use it 2-3 times a week. OOPS. I haven’t noticed a huge difference but my skin does feel softer. I don’t know if it is due to this product, but I
noticed a few areas of my face look whitish. I am not sure if that is supposed to be an effect or not but on either side of my nose,and the cheekbone area, it looks whiter. I would recommend it though. the price is reasonable and it has a nice feel to it!
