Dealing with post-acne marks or a dull complexion can be frustrating, but this targeted sheet mask offers a gentle and effective brightening boost.

Values You Can Trust: Vegan-Friendly* / Cruelty-Free* / 100% Authentic Guarantee

*Brand-stated; not certified by an independent body.

• Best For: Individuals with dullness, uneven skin tone, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) from past blemishes.
• What it is: A single-use water-gel sheet mask saturated in a brightening serum.
• Key Benefits: Helps to brighten the complexion, fade the appearance of dark spots, and provide a surge of hydration for an instant glow.
• Texture & Scent: The essence is a lightweight, watery gel. The sheet is thin and adheres well. Contains a fresh, citrus-like fragrance.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply the sheet mask for 15-20 minutes. After removing, pat in the remaining essence.
3. Moisturiser (PM) / Sunscreen (AM): Seal in the goodness. If using in the morning, sunscreen is essential as Vitamin C can make skin more sensitive to the sun.

Note: Already using a brightening serum? Use this mask on a different night to avoid overloading your skin.

• Frequency: Use 1-3 times per week as a special treatment, preferably in your evening routine.
• Amount: One full sheet mask per use.
• Application Steps:
  1. After cleansing and toning, carefully unfold the mask and place it evenly on your face, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
  2. Relax and leave it on for 15-20 minutes. Do not let it dry out completely on your skin.
  3. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your face, neck, and décolletage until absorbed.
  4. Follow with your regular moisturiser to lock in the hydration and active ingredients.
• Pro-Tip: Don't waste the extra essence in the pouch! Apply it to your neck, elbows, or any other areas needing a brightening boost. For an extra cooling and de-puffing effect in our Mauritian climate, store the mask in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before use.

This mask is a treatment, not a daily step. Fit it into your week to boost results without causing irritation.

• Example Week (PM Focus):
  • Mon: Hydration Night
  • Tue: THIS MASK
  • Wed: Hydration Night
  • Thu: Exfoliant Night (e.g., a gentle AHA/BHA toner)
  • Fri: THIS MASK
  • Sat: Hydration Night
  • Sun: Soothing/Barrier Repair Night
• Rules of Thumb:
  • One Active Per Night: Avoid using this mask on the same night as strong retinoids or chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA) to prevent potential irritation.
  • AM or PM: While you can use it in the morning, it's often best at night to allow the ingredients to work without immediate sun exposure. If used in the AM, follow with a high-SPF sunscreen.

• Immediately: Skin feels deeply hydrated, plump, and looks visibly brighter with a temporary "glow." Redness may be slightly calmed.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use (1-2 times per week), you may notice a more even skin tone and a sustained improvement in radiance.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The appearance of newer, less stubborn post-acne marks and sun spots may begin to fade. Deeper pigmentation requires longer, consistent use and diligent sun protection to see significant change.

*Individual results vary. Consistent sunscreen use is crucial to see and maintain brightening results.

• Why use a stabilized Vitamin C mask, not just lemon juice? While lemons contain Vitamin C, the juice is highly acidic (pH 2-3) and contains compounds that can cause chemical burns and severe sun sensitivity (phytophotodermatitis), potentially worsening dark spots. This mask uses a stable, pH-balanced form of Ascorbic Acid and brightening extracts, delivering the benefits without the significant risks of DIY citrus applications.

• Works Well With:
  • Hyaluronic Acid: Enhances hydration and plumps the skin.
  • Niacinamide (in separate products): Can work synergistically to brighten and manage blemishes. Use a niacinamide serum before the mask for a powerful combo.
  • Sunscreen: Essential! Protects your newly brightened skin and prevents new spots from forming.
• Use with Caution:
  • Retinoids & Strong Acids (AHA/BHA): Avoid using this mask in the same routine (e.g., same night) as high-strength retinoids or chemical peels. Alternating nights is a safer way to get the benefits of both without irritation.

• Excellent For: Normal, Combination, Oily skin types looking to address dullness and uneven tone.
• Good For: Dry skin types, provided it's followed by a nourishing moisturiser to lock in the essence.
• Use with Caution: Very sensitive or reactive skin types should patch test first due to the presence of fragrance and active ingredients. One user with sensitive skin reported developing blemishes after use.

• Dull, tired-looking skin
• Uneven skin tone
• Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (dark marks left by blemishes)

Who Should Use with Caution:

• Individuals with very sensitive skin or known allergies to citrus extracts or added fragrances.
• Those with active, broken, or weeping acne lesions should wait for the skin to heal before using this mask to avoid stinging.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Contains a low concentration of Vitamin C and Niacinamide, which are generally considered safe for topical use. However, as there is no specific safety data for this finished product, it is best to consult with a doctor before use.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Squeeze a small amount of essence from the pouch onto a clean patch of skin, like behind the ear or on the jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe any signs of irritation, such as redness, itching, or burning.
3. If no reaction occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on your face. Discontinue use if irritation develops.

• Texture: The essence is a watery, slightly slippery gel. The sheet itself is a thin, soft water-gel material that adheres closely to the skin's contours.
• Finish: Leaves the skin feeling very hydrated and looking dewy or glowy. Some users find the finish slightly slippery until fully absorbed.
• Scent: A pleasant and refreshing citrus/lemon fragrance.
• pH: Not published by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula appears to be free of common fungal acne triggers like oils, esters, and polysorbates.

• Issue: The mask doesn't fit my face perfectly.
  • Solution: The thin material is flexible. Gently stretch or overlap sections to fit your contours. You can also make small snips with clean scissors around the nose or mouth area for a custom fit.
• Issue: My skin feels a bit sticky or slippery after use.
  • Solution: This is normal due to the high concentration of essence. Give it a few more minutes to absorb, gently patting. If it persists, you can lightly tissue off the excess before applying your final moisturiser.
• Issue: I developed blemishes after using the mask.
  • Solution: Discontinue use. This could be a reaction to the fragrance or another ingredient. Soothe your skin with a simple, barrier-friendly routine for a few days.

• Humid Summers: This lightweight, watery mask feels incredibly refreshing in our hot and humid climate. It provides a burst of hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. Storing it in the fridge before use makes it an excellent cooling treat after a day in the sun.
• Drier Winters/AC Exposure: The hydrating essence helps combat the drying effects of indoor air-conditioning. During drier months, ensure you follow up with a good moisturiser to seal in all the benefits.

Q: Can I use this mask if I have acne?

A: Yes, it can be beneficial for fading the dark marks (PIH) left behind by acne. However, avoid placing it over active, broken pimples to prevent irritation. The formula is lightweight and generally non-comedogenic.

Q: Will this make my skin lighter?

A: No. The brightening ingredients in this mask work to even out your skin tone by fading discoloration from sun damage or blemishes. It will help restore your natural radiance, but it will not bleach or lighten your inherent skin color.

Q: Can I use the essence from the mask on other days?

A: The mask is designed for single use for hygiene reasons. Once opened, the essence is exposed to air and bacteria. We recommend using all the extra essence from the pouch during your masking session on your neck, arms, and hands.

Best For: Those looking for an instant hydrating and brightening boost, especially to tackle dullness and uneven tone from sun exposure and old blemishes.
