Quick Start (your 60-second routine) (how to fit it in)

- Moisturiser (PM): After removing the mask and patting in the essence, seal with your night cream.
Mindful Note: Already own a similar treatment mask? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Sheet masks are best used in the evening to allow the concentrated essence to work overnight.
- Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if wearing makeup or water-resistant SPF) → 2) [THIS PRODUCT] (1-3 times per week) → 3) Moisturiser.
- Optional: On nights you don't use this mask, you can use other targeted serums. Avoid using this mask on the same night as strong exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids if you have sensitive skin.
- Texture Rule: After cleansing, this mask is your main treatment step. Follow with thicker creams.
How to Use (beginner-friendly guide) (application & frequency)
- Frequency: Use 1-3 times per week as an intensive treatment.
- Prep: Start with a cleansed and toned face.
-
Application:
- Unfold the mask carefully and place it over your face, aligning the eye, nose, and mouth openings.
- Smooth it out to ensure good contact with the skin.
- Leave on for 10-20 minutes. Do not let it dry out completely on your face.
- Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining ampoule essence into your face and neck until absorbed. Do not rinse.
- Follow-up: Continue with your regular moisturiser to lock in the benefits.
- Watchouts: A slight tingling can be normal with Vitamin C, but if burning or a rash occurs, remove immediately and rinse. Always wear sunscreen daily, as Vitamin C can make skin more sensitive to the sun.
- Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes and broken or irritated skin. Stop use if a rash or irritation persists. Keep out of reach of children.
Weekly Planner (example & alternating actives) (how to schedule it)
Integrate this mask into your routine as a periodic treatment boost.
-
Example Week (PM focus):
- Mon: Soothing night (no strong actives)
- Tue: THIS PRODUCT
- Wed: Soothing night
- Thu: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) OR Retinoid night
- Fri: Soothing night
- Sat: THIS PRODUCT
- Sun: Soothing night or Sleeping Pack
- Rule of Thumb: Use this mask on nights when you are not using other potent actives like chemical exfoliants or retinoids to minimize the risk of irritation, especially when starting out. Always listen to your skin.
- Mauritius Note: After a day with heavy sun exposure, this mask can help provide antioxidant care and hydration. Always follow with a good moisturiser.
What to Expect (results timeline) (patience is key)
- Immediately: Skin feels deeply hydrated, plump, and looks refreshed with a temporary glow.
- 2–4 Weeks: With consistent use (2-3 times per week) alongside daily sunscreen, skin may start to appear brighter and more radiant overall.
- 4–8+ Weeks: The appearance of dark spots, post-acne marks (PIH), and uneven tone may be noticeably reduced. Skin texture can feel smoother. Results are highly dependent on consistent use and rigorous sun protection.
Myth Replacement (why this, not that) (safer, effective choices)
- Why THIS, not DIY Lemon Juice? This mask uses stabilized forms of Vitamin C at a controlled concentration, formulated to be effective and safe for skin. Applying neat lemon juice is highly acidic, can disrupt your skin's protective barrier, cause photosensitivity, and worsen the very hyperpigmentation you're trying to fix.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Hyaluronic Acid, Niacinamide (already in the formula), Ceramides, Panthenol, and most hydrating toners and moisturisers. Daily sunscreen is non-negotiable to protect results.
- Use With Caution: Avoid using in the same routine as other high-concentration actives like AHA, BHA, or retinoids, especially if you have sensitive skin. You can alternate nights to get the benefits of all your products without overwhelming your skin.
- Avoid On: Broken, wounded, or actively irritated skin.
Skin Type Compatibility (is it for you?) (a guide for all skin)
- Oily / Combination: Yes. The essence is lightweight and shouldn't feel heavy. May be hydrating enough to use a very light moisturiser on top.
- Normal: Excellent. Provides a targeted brightening boost and hydration.
- Dry / Dehydrated: Yes. Provides a good dose of hydration but be sure to follow with a medium-to-rich moisturiser to seal everything in.
- Sensitive: Use with caution. Contains essential oils and Vitamin C which can be sensitizing for some. A patch test is essential.
