I Tried the Hydrafacial x JLO Beauty Booster at The Mandarin Salon – Here’s Why It’s One of the Best Facials I’ve Ever Had

HONG KONG

I’ve tried countless facials, from the classic European treatments to cutting-edge technology-driven therapies. But few experiences leave a lasting impression the way The Mandarin Salon’s new Hydrafacial x JLO Beauty Booster does. It isn’t just a facial — it’s a ritual, a carefully choreographed journey designed to leave your skin luminous, dewy, and utterly renewed. And yes, it lives up to the hype.

The treatment begins with the familiar yet endlessly effective Hydrafacial cleanse and exfoliation. Using the patented vortex fusion handpiece, the aesthetician glides the device over your skin, and immediately you can feel impurities being lifted from deep within your pores. There’s a moment, admittedly a little startling but also oddly satisfying, when you can see the debris — whiteheads and congestion — being extracted in liquid form. It’s a subtle visual confirmation that your skin is undergoing a true detox. I also underwent the usual extraction process to remove deeper blackheads.

Once the cleansing and extraction phase is complete, the JLO Beauty Booster comes into play. Inspired by Jennifer Lopez’s famed “That JLO Glow” serum, the professional formula is a powerhouse blend of Olive Leaf Extract, Niacinamide, Fermented Adaptogen Blend, and a Proprietary Hydracomplex. These ingredients are carefully chosen to brighten, hydrate, and fortify the skin, striking a delicate balance between scientific efficacy and indulgent luxury. As the booster is infused into the skin, I could feel it penetrating deeply — hydrating, plumping, and infusing a subtle radiance that builds with every glide of the wand.

What sets this Hydrafacial apart is the attention to detail. The treatment concludes with LED light therapy, a gentle yet effective method to reduce the appearance of fine lines and promote collagen activity. My aesthetician customised the LED phase to my skin’s needs, which added a sense of bespoke care that truly elevates the experience.

By the time the session ended, my skin was transformed. There’s a difference between skin that looks “fresh” and skin that looks lit-from-within luminous, and the JLO Beauty Booster achieves the latter. My face felt impossibly soft, dewy, and clean, almost like it had been reborn. The glow was instant and tangible; I left the salon feeling as if I were wearing a subtle, natural highlighter across my complexion.

For those seeking a facial that is both results-driven and indulgently luxurious, the Hydrafacial x JLO Beauty Booster is an absolute must. It combines cutting-edge technology, potent ingredients, and the kind of Hollywood-endorsed glamour that actually delivers. My skin feels renewed, hydrated, and luminous — a rare combination that keeps me already looking forward to my next session.
