Description: This face mask delivers instant brightening thanks to a high concentration of fresh Vitamin C applied to skin at the correct pH. It's a brightening and rejuvenating treatment mask meant for immediate facial results, formulated with pore-refining clays and a genuine punch of Vitamin C. Additional calming extracts have been included to keep the formula gentler and milder for sensitive and reactive skin types.
Created with dull, congested, and mature skin in mind, this mask has clarifying qualities capable of transforming skin appearance after just one use. It works by exfoliating the skin and drawing out impurities, leaving behind a more radiant, even-toned complexion.
Vitamin C ranks among the most thoroughly studied cosmeceutical ingredients, with demonstrated abilities to boost collagen and brighten skin - key to keeping a smooth, even, glowing complexion. Research indicates Vitamin C offers several anti-aging advantages: it helps guard against skin sagging, shields from sun damage, calms sunburn, aids wound healing, addresses hyperpigmentation and redness, delivers hydration, and is generally safe across most skin types.
pH Balanced: Because L-ascorbic acid (the form of Vitamin C used) oxidizes rapidly once exposed to water, this mask comes in a self-activating format so you receive the Vitamin C at its freshest. The formula is pH-balanced. Note: a slight tingling is a normal reaction. One container provides approximately a 3-4 month supply.
The Science Behind This Formula:
- Vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid): A skincare ingredient backed by decades of research. Functions as a strong antioxidant, shielding skin from free radical damage caused by UV exposure. Acts as a co-factor within the collagen biosynthesis process, boosting skin collagen levels. This particular form of Vitamin C also has exfoliating properties.
- Allantoin: A naturally occurring plant compound with soothing and moisturizing qualities. Helps ease dryness, itchiness, and redness, making it well-suited to sensitive and dry skin. Also shown to support wound healing and offers mild exfoliation, clearing away dead skin cells and encouraging cell renewal for brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin. Has anti-inflammatory effects that reduce redness and swelling, beneficial for rosacea- or acne-prone skin.
- Licorice root: Included for its calming properties and to enhance Vitamin C's brightening action. Its primary active compounds - glycyrrhizin, liquiritin, and glabridin - contribute antioxidant benefits and reinforce the formula. It's also been shown to block tyrosinase, the enzyme driving melanin production, which brightens skin and fades dark spots and hyperpigmentation.
- Rosehip extract: Rich in Vitamin C, working alongside the ascorbic acid to enhance results.
- Chamomile extract: Contains bisabolol, giving it soothing, anti-inflammatory effects; added to make the formula gentler for sensitive, reactive skin. Helps minimize redness, irritation, and inflammation.
- Rhassoul (Moroccan red clay): A naturally detoxifying, mineral-dense clay sourced from Morocco. Offers cleansing, exfoliating, oil-balancing, and texture-improving benefits. It's nourishing, anti-inflammatory, supports better circulation, and is both eco-friendly and safe for all skin types.
How to Use: Combine with water to form a paste, then apply to the face and leave on for 5-8 minutes or until it dries. Rinse off with water, then follow with a face oil, cream, or balm. Suitable for morning or evening use. If applying in the morning, be sure to wear sunscreen afterward.
