Shoppers have been left feeling “creeped out” by a peculiar moisturising mask after a snap of the skincare product was shared on Reddit.
The Cryo Rubber Moisture Mask from beauty giants Dr. Jart+ caused a stir thanks to its bizarre appearance when it was shared to the Weird subreddit, sparking a range of reactions.
“I’m sure this is completely innocent but this thing seriously creeps me out,” stated the original poster. They continued: “I found this while I was in line at a store waiting to pay and I just knew it had to be shared somewhere on Reddit! I hope this is the right subreddit. Would anyone seriously use this?”

As suggested by the ‘rubber’ in its name, the mask almost looks as though it is made from PVC and fits around the face to create an almost infant-like look.
“I totally got one of those masks and was haunted by the picture on the front for weeks,” one person replied. ” Another quipped: “What kind of drugs is their marketing team doing because wtf lol.”
“A third chimed in: “Very creepy and freaky. I’d like to see what it looks like when someone is wearing it.” And a fourth revealed: “I used to use these every Sunday and my mum would point out how weird it looked every time she nicknamed it ‘creepy baby mask’.”
However, some who have tried the product were quick to praise its effects on their skin. “Love Dr Jart products!” one user exclaimed. “This is a very hydrating face mask. It’s just like those hydrogel under eye patches but for the entire face.”
Another agreed: “The Cryo Rubber mask is great, it doesn’t actually look like that when mixed, it’s just kind of a chunky gelatinous almost white gunk that pretty quickly sets to a rubbery consistency.”
A third follower added: “Dr. Jart is a fantastic brand! I hope you get over how weird it looks because it will be worth using!” Whilst a fourth simply noted: “Actually it’s one of the best masks.”
Available at Boots for £13, Dr. Jart+’s product description specifies: “This intensely hydrating, innovative two-step moisturising treatment mask is for dry skin. Dr.Jart+ combines a highly concentrated Hyaluronic Acid ampoule with a cooling, moisture-locking Cryo RubberTM mask to help boost the absorption of the potent gel-like serum.”
