Feeling like your skin has lost its glow from daily sun exposure and stress? This Vitamin C-powered sheet mask is designed to deliver a concentrated dose of brightening essence, helping to restore radiance and vitality for a healthier-looking complexion.

Dealing with a dull, tired-looking complexion can be frustrating. This mask offers a quick and effective solution to revive your skin's natural radiance.

• What it is: A single-use, 100% plant-based cellulose sheet mask soaked in a potent, vitamin-rich essence.
• What it does: Instantly hydrates and visibly brightens the skin, helping to improve the appearance of uneven tone and dullness. (Brand test)
• Who it's for: Ideal for those with dull, combination, oily, or normal skin types looking for a quick radiance boost.
• Key Ingredients: Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Tocopherol (Vitamin E), Allantoin, and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (Licorice Root derivative). (Ingredient rationale)

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
2. Apply Mask: Unfold and place the mask on your face, adjusting around eyes and mouth. Leave on for 10-20 minutes.
3. Absorb & Moisturise (PM): Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your skin until absorbed. Follow with your favourite moisturiser to seal in the goodness.

Note: This is a targeted treatment, best used 1-2 times per week. Don't add it on top of other strong actives in the same routine; use it as your main treatment step for the night.

Use this mask 1-2 times a week as part of your evening routine for the best results.

• Minimalist (3-4 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Toner (optional) → 3) [THIS MASK] (for 10-20 mins) → 4) Moisturiser.
• On nights you use this mask, it typically replaces your usual treatment serum (like a separate Vitamin C or exfoliating serum).

• Frequency: 1-2 times per week, preferably in the evening.
• Amount: One full sheet mask per use.
• Apply to: A cleansed and toned face.
• Method:
  1. Carefully unfold the mask and place it evenly on your face, avoiding the eye and lip areas.
  2. Leave on for 10-20 minutes.
  3. Remove the mask and discard. Do not rinse your face.
  4. Gently pat the remaining essence into your skin, neck, and décolletage until fully absorbed.
• Pro-Tip: For an extra cooling and soothing effect, store the mask in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before use. Use the excess essence left in the packet on your neck, arms, or legs.

Integrate this mask as a weekly radiance treatment. Avoid using it on the same night as other strong exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids to prevent potential irritation.

• Example Week (PM Focus):
  • Mon: Hydration Night
  • Tue: THIS MASK
  • Wed: Hydration Night
  • Thu: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) OR Retinoid Night
  • Fri: Hydration Night
  • Sat: THIS MASK
  • Sun: Soothing/Barrier Repair Night

Rule: Think of this as your dedicated "brightening night." On other nights, focus on hydration or other targeted treatments like exfoliation or retinol, but never on the same night as the mask.

• Immediately: Skin feels deeply hydrated, refreshed, and appears visibly brighter and more luminous. (Ingredient rationale)
• After 2-4 weeks (using 1-2 times per week): You may notice a more consistent radiance and a healthier-looking complexion. Skin texture can feel smoother.
• After 4-8+ weeks: When used consistently as part of a complete brightening routine with daily sunscreen, the appearance of minor dark spots and post-acne marks may begin to fade, leading to a more even skin tone.

• Why use this stabilized Vitamin C mask, not DIY lemon juice? Fresh lemon juice is highly acidic (pH ~2) and contains compounds that can cause phytophotodermatitis—a painful chemical burn that leads to severe hyperpigmentation when skin is exposed to the sun. This mask uses a stable, pH-balanced form of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) in a controlled dose to brighten safely without the risk of burns or worsening dark spots.

• Works Well With:
  • Hyaluronic Acid & Panthenol: Enhances hydration and helps soothe the skin, making the Vitamin C more tolerable.
  • Niacinamide: Can be used in the same routine (e.g., a niacinamide moisturiser after the mask) to boost brightening effects.
  • Sunscreen: Non-negotiable. Using this mask makes daily SPF 30+ the next morning essential to protect your newly brightened skin and prevent new spots.
• Use Carefully With:
  • Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal) & Exfoliating Acids (AHA, BHA): Avoid using them on the same night as this mask. Alternating nights is the safest way to get the benefits of both without overwhelming your skin barrier and causing irritation.

• Excellent for: Normal, Combination, Oily Skin.
• Good for: Dry Skin (must follow with a nourishing moisturiser to lock in the essence).
• Use with Caution: Very Sensitive or Rosacea-prone Skin. Vitamin C can sometimes cause tingling or redness. A patch test is highly recommended.

• Dullness / Lack of Radiance
• Uneven Skin Tone
• Tired-looking, fatigued skin
• Post-Acne Marks (Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation)

This sheet mask is an excellent choice if your primary concern is dullness and achieving an instant glow. However, consider these alternatives from our catalog if your needs are different:

• For Calming & Soothing: SOME BY MI Real Cica Calming Care Mask — Choose this if your skin is red, irritated, or breaking out, and your main goal is to soothe and calm inflammation.
• For Pore Care & Oil Control: SOME BY MI Real Super Matcha Pore Care Mask — Choose this if enlarged pores, blackheads, and excess oil are your primary concerns.
• For Intense Hydration: SOME BY MI Real Hyaluron Hydra Care Mask — Choose this if your skin feels tight, dehydrated, or flaky and needs a powerful surge of moisture.

Mindful Use: If you already have a comparable brightening mask or serum at home, we encourage you to finish it first. This helps you gauge results fairly and reduces waste.

• Format: 20g single-use sheet mask in a foil packet.
• Applicator: The sheet mask itself.
• Sustainability: The mask sheet is made from 100% plant-derived cellulose and is biodegradable. The outer packet is mixed material and should be disposed of in the trash.
• Storage: Store at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. For an extra cooling effect, you can store it in the refrigerator.

Here’s what real users are saying (aggregated sentiment from Olive Young Global reviews, 2024-2025):

"Packed with real vitamin extract, it instantly brightens and energizes my complexion. After just one use, my skin looks more awake, hydrated, and full of life."

"It leaves your skin very luminous, if you haven't slept well or want to improve the appearance of your skin, this is ideal for that. It moisturizes very well... I have combination skin prone to acne and these masks have been very good on my skin."

Fair Caveat: The amount of pure Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is very low (100ppb), so while the mask provides an immediate glow from hydration and other botanicals, significant fading of dark spots would require more consistent use of higher-concentration Vitamin C serums.

Q: Can I use this mask if I have acne?
A: Yes, this mask is generally suitable for acne-prone skin as it is lightweight and contains soothing ingredients. The Vitamin C can also help fade the red or brown marks (PIE/PIH) left by breakouts. However, if you have active, inflamed acne, consider a Cica or Tea Tree mask for more targeted calming.

Q: Will this mask make my skin sensitive to the sun?
A: Vitamin C can make your skin slightly more photosensitive. It's crucial to wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen of at least SPF 30 the morning after using this mask to protect your skin.

Q: Why is the Vitamin C concentration so low (100ppb)?
A: The mask is formulated for a gentle, instant brightening effect primarily through hydration and a blend of soothing extracts. The low concentration of pure Vitamin C provides antioxidant benefits without the potential for irritation that higher concentrations can cause, making it suitable for a wider range of skin types as a refreshing treatment.

• Best For: Those looking for an immediate hydration and radiance boost before an event or as a weekly self-care ritual.
• Key Benefits: Instantly brightens, hydrates, and refreshes tired-looking skin. The mask material is soft, biodegradable, and adheres well.
