Few masks in the beauty world enjoy the status the Peter Thomas Roth 24K with colloidal gold has earned over the years. With its dense, rich texture, the mask firms and lifts the skin, brightens the complexion and soothes. 24-karat gold has been a well-known beauty ally since Cleopatra’s time, while the magnesium in this product energizes the skin, caffeine makes it firmer, and hyaluronic acid hydrates.
Peter Thomas Roth comes from a large family of goldsmiths and launched a jewelry line of his own in 2015. He has worked with the precious metal since childhood, and he got the idea for the revolutionary mask when he noticed how smooth his hands were after working with gold. That is how he created this rich mask, intended for all skin types.
Of course, with all the praise the mask has earned over the years, we had to try for ourselves whether it truly is a great wonder of the beauty world — on skin in its twenties, thirties and forties.

Although only the first lines have appeared on my forehead and around my eyes, I love trying products that help prevent the first signs of aging. The Peter Thomas Roth gold mask has definitely been on my wish list for a while, and when I finally got the chance to try it, I was surprised by both its rich texture and the lavish golden color it shines with.
The mask applies easily even though it’s quite dense. It feels very light and airy on the skin, and after rinsing it leaves the skin smooth and more radiant. The lines didn’t vanish instantly, of course, but the skin across my whole face was visibly better nourished.

I’ve made it a bit further than Nives, and the mask has been part of my routine for a while — I try to use it once or twice a week. This golden one is a true balm: partly for the packaging, partly for the gentle silky texture, and then there’s the scent.
To me this feels like more than a mask — more like a nourishing treatment for lifting, firming and brightening the skin. Pure 24-karat gold gives a radiant glow while locking moisture into the skin and firming it by preserving collagen. Hyaluronic acid and glycerin then combine to prevent dehydration by attracting and retaining water, keeping the cells saturated. The skin stays soft and smooth.

Given my age and many years of experience with cosmetic products, I’ve developed my own technique for recognizing what is good and pleasant for my skin. That is, after all, the most important criterion for trusting a product or a brand. This mask is one of those I trust.
My first encounter with it was one Sunday evening, when I usually practice my at-home beauty treatments. In look and texture it truly differs from every mask I’ve tried, and the feeling on the skin matches. It is at once pleasant, rich and light — it doesn’t pull, doesn’t leave a greasy trace or a sticky feeling.
I applied it to a cleansed face, very simply, and kept it on for 15 minutes. Removing it did take a little effort — I needed several rinses with warm water to take it off completely. Afterwards my skin was radiant, tighter and fresher — as my colleagues at work noticed on Monday, by the way.
HOW TO USE THE MASK FOR PERFECTLY GLOWING SKIN
The Peter Thomas Roth 24K mask with colloidal gold is applied to clean skin after cleansing the face. Apply it in a rich layer across the whole face and leave it to work for five to ten minutes. Then rinse with warm water — the skin is ready for the rest of your routine. It can be used two to three times a week or, really, whenever you like, since it is not aggressive on the skin.
At the end of your routine, for extra glow, you can try the Peter Thomas Roth 24K Gold Pure Luxury Lift & Firm Prism cream. It too contains 24-karat and colloidal gold, and you can use it as a highlighter for the face — or for the body, if you wish.
