Dealing with stubborn dark spots, uneven tone, or post-acne marks can be a long and frustrating journey, especially in a sunny climate like Mauritius. This advanced night mask is designed as a powerful last step in your evening routine to tackle these concerns while you sleep.
The innovative "wrapping" formula creates a breathable, flexible film over your skin. This locks in potent brightening ingredients like Tranexamic Acid (TXA) and Niacinamide, preventing them from evaporating and helping them work more effectively overnight. You wake up to a visibly brighter, more hydrated, and even-toned complexion.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
- What it is: A gel-cream overnight mask that dries into a transparent, flexible film to target hyperpigmentation.
- Who it's for: Ideal for anyone struggling with dark spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from acne, sun spots, melasma, or a generally dull, uneven skin tone.
- What to expect: Skin feels intensely hydrated and looks visibly brighter and plumper upon waking. With consistent use, it helps to fade the appearance of dark spots and promotes a more even, radiant complexion.
- Key Ingredients: Tranexamic Acid (TXA), Niacinamide, and a blend of brightening botanicals.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
This mask is the final "sealing" step of your nighttime routine. Apply it after all other products have had a moment to absorb.
-
Minimalist Routine (2 Steps):
- Cleanse your face thoroughly.
- Apply the TXA Niacinamide 99 Night Wrapping Mask as your all-in-one treatment and moisturiser.
-
Full Routine (Recommended):
- Double Cleanse: Start with an oil cleanser to remove sunscreen/makeup, followed by a water-based foam or gel cleanser.
- Toner/Essence (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner or essence to prep the skin.
- Serum (Optional): Apply your targeted serums (e.g., hyaluronic acid, peptides). Let them absorb for a minute.
- Apply the Mask: Spread an even layer of the TXA Niacinamide 99 Night Wrapping Mask over your face, avoiding the immediate eye and lip area. Allow it to dry and form a film before bed.
Texture Rule: Always apply your skincare from the thinnest texture (like toner) to the thickest. This mask is your final, occlusive step.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (AM/PM amounts) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- When: PM (Evening) only. Use as the very last step of your skincare routine, after serums and moisturisers (if you use one).
- Frequency: Start by using it 2-3 times per week. If your skin tolerates it well, you can increase frequency to every other night or even daily.
- Amount: A nickel-sized amount is usually sufficient for the entire face.
-
Method:
- Dispense the product onto your fingertips or the back of your hand.
- Spread a thin, even layer across your face, avoiding direct contact with your eyes and lips.
- Allow it to sit for a few minutes to form a transparent, flexible film. It should not feel overly sticky once dry.
- Leave it on overnight and rinse off with lukewarm water in the morning.
Pro-Tip for Mauritius Climate: On very humid nights, you may only need a very thin layer. On nights when you've been in air conditioning and your skin feels dry, you can apply a slightly more generous layer to lock in moisture.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
This mask is designed for regular use but should be balanced with other strong actives like exfoliants or retinoids to avoid overwhelming your skin. Here’s a sample weekly schedule:
- Monday (Brightening Night): PM Routine + TXA Niacinamide Mask
- Tuesday (Active Night): PM Routine with your Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) or Retinoid. Use a simple barrier cream instead of this mask.
- Wednesday (Brightening Night): PM Routine + TXA Niacinamide Mask
- Thursday (Recovery Night): Simple hydrating and soothing PM routine. No strong actives or wrapping masks.
- Friday (Brightening Night): PM Routine + TXA Niacinamide Mask
- Saturday (Active or Recovery Night): Use your Exfoliant/Retinoid, or give your skin another recovery night.
- Sunday (Recovery Night): Simple hydrating and soothing PM routine.
Golden Rule: Avoid using this mask on the same night as strong chemical exfoliants (like high-concentration glycolic acid) or prescription retinoids until you know how your skin tolerates the combination. Alternating nights is the safest approach.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
Patience and consistency are key, especially when targeting hyperpigmentation. While individual results vary, here is a general timeline based on the ingredients' mechanisms of action.
- Immediate (First Morning): Your skin will likely feel significantly more hydrated, plump, and smooth. You may notice an immediate "glass skin" glow due to the hydrating film effect.
- After 2-4 Weeks: You may start to see an improvement in overall skin radiance and a more even skin tone. Skin may appear less dull and more vibrant.
- After 8+ Weeks: With consistent use (at least 3 times per week) and diligent daily sun protection, you should begin to see a visible reduction in the appearance of dark spots, post-acne marks, and sun spots.
Important: Results for hyperpigmentation are highly dependent on consistent daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen. [cite_start]Sun exposure can reverse your progress. [cite: 3675]
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
This product offers a modern, science-backed approach to common skin concerns, replacing outdated and potentially harmful DIY methods.
- Instead of using lemon juice on dark spots... use this mask. [cite_start]Lemon juice is highly acidic and phototoxic, meaning it can cause chemical burns and even worsen hyperpigmentation when exposed to the sun[cite: 3672, 3721]. [cite_start]This mask uses clinically-studied ingredients like Tranexamic Acid and Niacinamide to safely and effectively target melanin pathways without damaging your skin barrier[cite: 2741, 3906].
- Instead of harsh physical scrubs for a "brighter" look... use this wrapping mask. [cite_start]Aggressively scrubbing at pigmented areas can cause micro-tears and inflammation, which often leads to more dark spots (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), especially in melanin-rich skin[cite: 2578]. This mask brightens by using ingredients that regulate pigment production and gently hydrates, promoting a healthy glow without physical damage.
Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)
This mask is designed to be a final, sealing layer. Its compatibility depends on what you apply underneath it.
- ✅ Works Well With:
- Hydrating Serums: Layering over serums with Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, or Beta-Glucan will amplify hydration, leaving skin exceptionally plump.
- Peptide Serums: Peptides for firming and anti-aging can be applied before the mask to support skin structure.
- Gentle Moisturisers: If you have very dry skin, you can apply a light, non-occlusive moisturiser before the wrapping mask for an extra layer of nourishment.
- ⚠️ Use With Caution:
- Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal): For experienced users, this mask can be applied over a retinoid after it has fully absorbed to help buffer potential irritation. However, beginners should alternate nights to avoid trapping irritation. Do not use this mask on the same night as a prescription-strength retinoid (like Tretinoin) unless advised by a dermatologist.
- Exfoliating Acids (AHA/BHA): Avoid applying this mask immediately after a high-concentration chemical peel. For regular acid toners or serums, it's safest to use them on alternate nights.
- Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid): While Niacinamide and Vitamin C are generally compatible in modern formulas, it's best to use your Vitamin C serum in the morning (for antioxidant protection) and this mask at night to ensure each active works at its optimal pH.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- 🟢 Excellent For:
- Dull or Uneven Skin: The primary target for this mask's brightening ingredients.
- Dry & Dehydrated Skin: The "wrapping" film is highly effective at preventing overnight moisture loss (TEWL).
- Combination Skin: Provides brightening benefits without being overly heavy. A thin layer on the T-zone is usually sufficient.
- Mature Skin: Helps address age-related pigmentation and improves radiance.
- 🟡 Good For (with notes):
- Normal Skin: A great weekly treatment to maintain an even tone and boost glow.
- Oily Skin: Can be beneficial for post-acne marks. Use a very thin layer and ensure you are not using other heavy, occlusive products in your routine.
- 🔴 Use With Caution:
- Extremely Acne-Prone Skin: While the ingredients target post-acne marks, the occlusive film could potentially trap heat and bacteria for some individuals. Patch testing is recommended.
- Fungal Acne-Prone Skin: The full ingredient list should be reviewed for any potential triggers before use. Occlusive layers can sometimes worsen fungal acne.
- Very Sensitive Skin: Contains some essential oils for fragrance. A patch test is highly recommended to ensure no sensitivity.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
This mask is formulated to specifically address:
-
Hyperpigmentation: Helps visibly reduce the appearance of various types of discoloration, including:
- Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH): The dark marks left behind after acne blemishes heal.
- Sun Spots & Freckles: Discoloration caused by sun exposure.
- Melasma: Hormonally-induced patches of discoloration.
- Uneven Skin Tone: Works to create a more uniform and balanced complexion, reducing blotchiness.
- Dullness: Restores radiance and glow to tired, lackluster skin by providing intense hydration and supporting healthy cell turnover.
- Dehydration: The occlusive film acts as a shield against overnight transepidermal water loss (TEWL), helping skin retain moisture and appear plump.

Patch Test Protocol for Sensitive Skin:
- Apply a small, pea-sized amount of the mask to a clean, discreet area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner elbow.
- Leave it on for the recommended time (overnight, in this case, or at least for a few hours if testing during the day).

Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
-
Issue: The mask feels too sticky or isn't drying down.
- Solution: You are likely applying too thick a layer. Use a smaller, nickel-sized amount and spread it thinly and evenly. A thick layer will take much longer to dry and may not form the intended film.
-
Issue: I'm experiencing minor pilling when I touch my face.
- Solution: This can happen if the mask is applied over products that haven't fully absorbed or that have a high silicone content. Ensure your prior skincare steps have had a minute or two to sink in before applying the mask. Once the film is formed, avoid rubbing your face.
-
Issue: I woke up with a new breakout.
- Solution: For some very oily or acne-prone skin types, an occlusive layer can trap heat and sebum. Try reducing the frequency of use to 1-2 times per week or apply an even thinner layer. Ensure your face is perfectly clean before application. If breakouts persist, this type of mask may not be suitable for your skin.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
This night mask is well-suited for the Mauritian climate, with a few adjustments:
- Humid Summer Nights: During hot, humid weather, your skin loses less water overnight. Use a very thin layer of this mask. For very oily skin, you might even use it in place of your nighttime moisturiser. Its film-forming texture feels less heavy than a traditional rich cream.
- Dryer Winter / Air-Conditioned Rooms: If you sleep in a room with air conditioning, your skin can become dehydrated. This mask is perfect for this scenario as its primary function is to create a barrier against moisture loss, keeping your skin hydrated and protected from the dry air all night long.
- Sun Exposure: As this mask is designed to treat hyperpigmentation, it's a fantastic addition to a routine in a high-UV environment like Mauritius. However, its effectiveness is completely dependent on your diligence with sunscreen during the day. Using this mask without daily SPF 30+ is counterproductive.

Evidence & Sources (the science behind the product)
The effectiveness of this mask is based on the established scientific mechanisms of its key ingredients. While brand-specific clinical trials for this exact product are not publicly available, the formulation relies on well-researched actives.
-
[cite_start]
- Ingredient Rationale (Niacinamide): Numerous independent studies have shown that Niacinamide at concentrations of 2-5% can significantly improve skin barrier function, reduce sebum production, and lighten hyperpigmentation by inhibiting the transfer of melanosomes (pigment packets) to the surface of the skin[cite: 3906]. This product contains Niacinamide as a primary active ingredient.
- Ingredient Rationale (Tranexamic Acid): Clinical research has demonstrated that topical Tranexamic Acid is effective in treating melasma and other forms of hyperpigmentation. [cite_start]It is understood to work by inhibiting UV-induced plasmin activity in keratinocytes, which in turn reduces the stimulation of melanocytes (the cells that produce pigment)[cite: 2741].
- Brand Claim: The "wrapping" film technology is a brand-stated mechanism, based on the use of Polyvinyl Alcohol, a polymer that forms a film on the skin to enhance ingredient delivery and prevent moisture loss overnight.
Note: Efficacy percentages and timelines are based on general ingredient research, not brand-published clinical data for this specific product.
Value, Cost-per-Use & Reorder Cadence (how long it lasts)
- Size: 80ml

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- 1. Is this mask suitable for oily, acne-prone skin?
- It can be. The ingredients (Niacinamide, TXA) are excellent for targeting post-acne marks. However, because it's an occlusive "wrapping" mask, some very oily or congestion-prone individuals might find it too heavy. We recommend starting with a very thin layer 1-2 times a week and monitoring your skin's response.
- 2. Can I use this with my retinol serum?
- It's best to alternate nights. Use your retinol one night and this mask the next. Applying an occlusive mask over a retinoid can potentially increase its strength and lead to irritation, especially if your skin is not fully accustomed to the retinoid. If you are an experienced retinoid user, you may be able to apply this mask over it after waiting 20-30 minutes, but proceed with caution.
- 3. How is a "wrapping mask" different from a regular night cream?
- A wrapping mask contains film-forming polymers (like Polyvinyl Alcohol in this case) that create a distinct, peelable or rinsable film on the skin. A regular night cream is an emulsion of oil and water that absorbs into the skin without forming a separate layer. The purpose of the film is to provide enhanced occlusion, locking in actives and moisture more intensely than a standard cream.
- 4. Will this bleach my skin?
- No. The "brightening" effect of this mask comes from ingredients that help to fade excess pigmentation from sun damage or inflammation, leading to a more even and radiant version of your natural skin tone. It does not contain bleaching agents and will not change your inherent skin color.
The Final Verdict (At-a-Glance) (summary of pros and cons)
Best For: Individuals looking for a potent overnight treatment to target stubborn dark spots, uneven skin tone, and dullness.
