Dealing with skin that feels sensitive, looks red, or is showing fine lines from dehydration can be frustrating. This daily mask pack offers a simple, consistent way to soothe and hydrate your skin back to a calm, plump state.

• Best For: All skin types, especially sensitive, redness-prone, dehydrated, or mature skin.
• What it does: Calms irritation, provides a daily boost of hydration, improves skin plumpness, and supports a healthy skin barrier.
• Format: A bulk tub containing 30 thin sheet masks and a mini tweezer for hygienic daily retrieval.
• Key Ingredients: Centella Asiatica (Cica) Complex to soothe, Hydrolyzed Collagen to hydrate and firm.
• Mauritius Fit: Excellent for calming skin after sun exposure and providing lightweight hydration that won't feel heavy in the humidity.

Use this mask as a boost in your evening routine, either daily or a few times a week.

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Apply Mask: Use the included tweezers to pull out one mask. Apply to your face for 10-15 minutes.
3. Moisturise: After removing the mask, pat the remaining essence into your skin and follow with your regular night cream to seal in the hydration.

Mindful Tip: Already have a hydrating serum you love? You can use this mask on alternate nights or as a weekly treat instead of adding another daily step.

While typically used at night, you can use this mask in the morning for extra hydration before a special event.

• 1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle face wash.
• 2. Mask (Optional): Apply the Cica Collagen Mask for 10 minutes. Pat in the remaining essence.
• 3. Moisturiser: Apply a light moisturiser if needed.
• 4. Sunscreen: Always finish with a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. This is crucial to protect your skin in Mauritius.

This is the ideal time to use the mask for skin repair and hydration overnight.

• 1. Double Cleanse: Use an oil cleanser to remove sunscreen and makeup, followed by a water-based cleanser.
• 2. Toner (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner to prep your skin.
• 3. Mask: Apply the VT Cica Collagen Mask for 10-15 minutes.
• 4. Serum (Optional): After patting in the mask's essence, you can apply a targeted serum (like a retinoid or brightening serum).
• 5. Moisturiser: Finish with a night cream to lock in all the benefits.

• Frequency: Designed for daily use, but can also be used 2-3 times a week or whenever your skin feels irritated or dry.
• Amount: Use one sheet mask per session.
• Method:
  1. After cleansing, open the lid and use the mini tweezers to hygienically pull out a single mask sheet.
  2. Unfold and place the mask evenly on your face, aligning the holes with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  3. Leave on for 10-15 minutes. Do not let it dry out completely on your face.
  4. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your skin until absorbed. Do not rinse.
  5. Follow with your moisturiser.
• Pro Tip: You can use the excess essence left in the pack on your neck, chest, and the backs of your hands.
• Hygiene: Always close the lid tightly after use to prevent the masks from drying out. Clean the tweezers periodically.

This mask is gentle enough for daily use and works well with active ingredients.

• Daily Use: Can be used every evening after cleansing as your main hydrating and soothing step.
• With Actives: It's an excellent mask to use after exfoliating (AHA/BHA) or on nights you are not using a retinoid to provide extra calming and hydration.
• Example PM Routine with Actives:
  • Mon: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA), then this Cica Mask, then Moisturiser.
  • Tue: Retinoid night (use the mask before your retinoid if you have sensitive skin to buffer, or skip).
  • Wed: Cica Mask night for recovery and hydration.
  • Thu: Retinoid night.
  • Fri/Sat/Sun: Cica Mask nights or your basic hydrating routine.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly cooled, soothed, and hydrated. Any immediate tightness or redness is visibly reduced.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use (e.g., 3+ times a week), skin appears calmer overall. Sensitivity flare-ups may become less frequent, and skin feels more resilient and plump.
• 4-8+ Weeks: The skin barrier is healthier and more robust. The appearance of fine lines caused by dehydration is diminished, and skin texture feels smoother and more supple.

Individual results vary. Consistent use, especially alongside daily sun protection, is key.

Why use a daily mask pack, not a harsh treatment every day?

Some believe powerful treatments are needed daily for results, leading to over-exfoliation and a damaged skin barrier. This daily mask pack replaces that idea with the concept of gentle, consistent care. Instead of stripping the skin, it provides a daily dose of soothing and hydrating ingredients to build skin resilience over time. This is a safer and more sustainable way to achieve healthy, calm skin, especially in a sunny climate where a strong barrier is your best defense.

This mask is designed to be highly compatible with other skincare products.

• Works Well With: Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Retinoids, and Chemical Exfoliants (AHA, BHA). In fact, using this mask after exfoliation can help calm the skin and reduce potential irritation.
• Use With Caution: No major conflicts are expected. As it is a hydrating product, simply ensure it is applied at the correct step in your routine (after cleansing/toning, before heavier creams or oils).
• How to Layer with a Retinoid: For sensitive skin, you can use this mask *before* your retinoid to create a hydrating buffer. For normal skin, you can use your retinoid, wait 20-30 minutes, and then apply this mask for a soothing finish.

• Dry Skin: Excellent. Provides a much-needed daily layer of water-based hydration. Follow with a richer cream to lock it in.
• Oily/Combination Skin: Very suitable. The essence is lightweight and won't feel greasy. It helps provide hydration, which can help balance sebum production.
• Sensitive Skin: Ideal. The Cica-focused formula is specifically designed to soothe redness and irritation.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Suitable. It helps calm inflammation from breakouts and provides hydration without clogging pores.
• Mature Skin: Beneficial. Helps to plump the skin with hydration, reducing the appearance of fine lines and improving elasticity with collagen.

• Redness and irritation
• Dehydration and skin tightness
• Compromised or damaged skin barrier
• Dullness and lack of plumpness
• Fine lines caused by dryness
• Skin sensitivity after sun exposure or treatments

Key Ingredients Explained:

• Centella Asiatica (Cica) Extract & its components (Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, etc.): A powerful botanical complex known for its exceptional soothing, repairing, and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps calm redness, strengthen the skin barrier, and promote healing. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Hydrolyzed Collagen: Smaller molecules of collagen that can penetrate the skin's surface to provide intense hydration, helping to plump the skin and improve its elasticity and texture. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A versatile ingredient that helps brighten the skin, improve uneven skin tone, strengthen the barrier, and regulate oil production. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Adenosine: A yeast-derived ingredient certified by the MFDS for its anti-wrinkle benefits. It helps to energize the skin's surface, leading to a smoother, more youthful appearance. (Ingredient Rationale)

Full INCI List: Water, Glycerin, Dipropylene Glycol, Centella Asiatica Extract (1,000ppm), Hydrolyzed Collagen (1,000ppm), Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, Propolis Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Panthenol, Niacinamide, Adenosine, Allantoin, Betaine, Carbomer, Arginine, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Xanthan Gum.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no added artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent Profile: 0/5. It has a neutral, barely-there scent from its raw ingredients.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided ingredient list.

As with any product, a patch test is recommended for highly sensitive individuals.

This product is formulated for sensitive skin, but we always recommend caution.

• For external use only.
• Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Discontinue use if signs of irritation or rash appear. If symptoms persist, consult a healthcare professional.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: There are no ingredients known to be harmful, but there is insufficient published data for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. We recommend consulting with your doctor before use.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the essence from one mask to a discreet area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner wrist. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation.

• Mask Texture: A very thin, soft sheet that adheres well to the contours of the face without slipping.
• Essence Texture: A lightweight, watery essence that absorbs quickly without a sticky or heavy residue.
• Finish: Leaves skin feeling fresh, hydrated, and plump with a subtle dewy glow.
• pH: Approximately 5.5 - 6.5, which is within the skin's natural healthy range.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Appears to be suitable, as the formula does not contain common triggers like fatty acids, oils, or polysorbates. However, individual responses can vary.

• Issue: The masks in the tub are drying out.
  Solution: Ensure the main lid and the inner protective cap are both sealed tightly immediately after each use. Store the tub upright and away from direct heat or sunlight.
• Issue: The essence feels a little sticky after removal.
  Solution: You may be leaving the mask on for too long. Remove it while it is still damp (around 10-15 mins). Gently pat the remaining essence into the skin for a full minute to aid absorption. If it still feels sticky, you can gently tissue off the excess before applying moisturiser.
• Issue: The mask sheet doesn't fit my face perfectly.
  Solution: Sheet masks are one-size-fits-most. You can make small snips with clean scissors around the nose or chin area to get a better fit. Focus on ensuring the main areas (cheeks, forehead) have good contact with the skin.

• Humid Summers: Perfect for this climate. The watery essence provides hydration without adding heaviness or contributing to a greasy feeling. It's an excellent way to cool and soothe the skin after a hot and sunny day.
• Drier Winters/AC Environments: A great way to boost hydration. In drier conditions or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, this mask helps combat the dehydration that can make skin feel tight or look dull. Always follow with a good moisturiser to lock in the benefits.
• Sun Exposure: The Cica in the formula is ideal for calming skin that has been exposed to the strong Mauritian sun, helping to reduce redness and sensitivity.

The benefits of this product are supported by established ingredient rationale rather than product-specific clinical trials.

• Ingredient Rationale: The key ingredients—Centella Asiatica, Hydrolyzed Collagen, and Adenosine—have a body of scientific research supporting their efficacy for soothing, hydrating, and improving the appearance of fine lines, respectively. The formulation leverages these known benefits.

This 30-pack format offers excellent value for consistent skincare.

• If used daily: The tub will last for approximately 1 month.
• If used 3 times a week: The tub will last for approximately 10 weeks (2.5 months).
• If used once a week: The tub will last for over 6 months.

The cost-per-mask is significantly lower than buying 30 individual sheet masks, making it a budget-friendly way to incorporate daily masking into your routine.

However, if you have different primary goals, consider these alternatives from our catalog:

• For Intense Brightening: SOME BY MI REAL GLUTATHIONE BRIGHTENING CARE MASK 20G — Choose this if your main goal is to fade dark spots and achieve a radiant glow. It is powered by Glutathione for a targeted brightening effect.
• For Pore Care & Oil Control: SOME BY MI REAL SUPER MATCHA PORE CARE MASK 20G — Choose this if you struggle with enlarged pores and excess sebum. The matcha and clay ingredients help to purify and tighten pores.
• For Intensive Overnight Repair (Hydrogel): BIODANCE Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask — Choose this for a luxurious, high-adherence hydrogel mask that you can wear for hours or even overnight for deep hydration and firming. It's a more intensive weekly treatment rather than a daily mask.
• For a Simple, Budget-Friendly Soothing Option: THE FACE SHOP REAL NATURE FACE MASK WITH ALOE EXTRACT — If you're looking for an affordable, single-use mask for occasional soothing, this classic aloe mask is a great choice.

Mindful Use: If you already have a comparable sheet mask or hydrating treatment at home, we encourage you to finish it first. This helps you get a fair assessment of its results and avoids unnecessary waste.

• Packaging: Comes in a sturdy plastic tub with a screw-on lid and an inner seal to maintain freshness. A small plastic tweezer is included for hygienic dispensing of the masks.
• Sustainability: The 30-in-1 pack format uses significantly less plastic packaging compared to buying 30 individually wrapped sheet masks. The outer tub is recyclable (check local guidelines in Mauritius).
• Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is always tightly closed to prevent the essence from evaporating. Some users prefer storing it in the fridge for an extra cooling effect.
• Travel: The tub is bulky and not ideal for air travel. For trips, you can place a few masks in a sealed Ziploc bag to take with you.

Aggregated sentiment from independent online communities.

• On Soothing: "My skin gets red so easily, especially after being out in the sun. I started using one of these every night and the difference is huge. I wake up with calm, even-toned skin." - Paraphrased from a YesStyle review (2024-05).
• On Hydration: "The essence is super light and watery, not sticky at all. It gives my combo skin the perfect amount of hydration without making me oily. It’s a great way to prep my skin before makeup." - Amazon customer review (2024-03).
• A Fair Caveat: "I love the value and the effect on my skin, but you have to be committed to using them. Sometimes I'm too tired for a mask and they can dry out if you don't seal the tub properly. Also, the mask sheet itself is quite thin." - Paraphrased from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024-07).

We carefully curate our selection based on efficacy, safety, and suitability for the Mauritian climate. Our beginner-first approach means we prioritize clear, honest information to help you make mindful choices for your skin, guided by principles of truth and fairness.

Can I really use this mask every single day?

Yes, this mask is specifically designed with a gentle, hydrating formula that is suitable for daily use. Unlike strong exfoliating or treatment masks, it aims to provide consistent, soothing hydration to maintain a healthy skin barrier.

Is the tub format hygienic?

Yes, if used correctly. The product includes a mini tweezer to allow you to pick up one mask at a time without touching the rest. Always use the clean tweezer and ensure the lid is sealed tightly after each use to maintain freshness and hygiene.

Will this mask help with my acne?

While it is not an acne treatment, its Cica-rich formula is excellent for calming the inflammation and redness associated with breakouts. By keeping the skin hydrated and soothed, it can help create a healthier environment for your skin to heal.

Is this mask better than using a hydrating serum?

It serves a similar purpose but in a different format. A sheet mask provides a more intensive, short-term hydration boost due to the occlusive nature of the sheet, which forces the essence into the skin. A serum is typically used for daily, sustained delivery of active ingredients. You can use both in your routine.

Best For: Those looking for a convenient, cost-effective way to incorporate a daily soothing and hydrating treatment into their routine, especially if they have sensitive, red, or dehydrated skin.

• Instantly calms and cools irritated skin.

Keep in Mind:

• Requires a consistent daily or near-daily commitment to see the best results.
