Feeling like your skin is stressed, red, or irritated from the heat and humidity in Mauritius? This intensive ampoule mask is designed as an emergency rescue for a compromised skin barrier. Infused with a concentrated Cica Peptide ampoule, it delivers immediate, cooling hydration and powerful soothing care to calm sensitivity and strengthen your skin's natural defenses.

When your skin barrier is compromised, it can feel sensitive, red, and reactive to almost anything. This mask provides a focused dose of calming and repairing ingredients to bring it back to a state of comfort.

• Best For: All skin types, especially sensitive, irritated, acne-prone, or barrier-damaged skin.
• What it is: A single-use sheet mask saturated in a rich, 40ml ampoule formulated with Centella Asiatica and Peptides.
• What it does: Intensely soothes redness and irritation, provides deep moisture, and helps fortify the skin's protective barrier.
• Expected Outcome: Skin feels immediately calmer, hydrated, and looks less red. With regular use, it helps improve skin resilience and health.

1. Cleanse & Tone: Start with a clean, toned face.
2. Apply Mask [THIS PRODUCT]: Carefully unfold the mask and place it evenly on your face. Leave on for 10-20 minutes.
3. Pat & Moisturise: After removing the mask, gently pat the remaining ampoule into your skin until absorbed, then follow with your favorite moisturiser to seal everything in.

Mindful Consumption Note: This is a special treatment. Use it 1-2 times a week or whenever your skin feels particularly stressed. It complements, rather than replaces, your daily moisturiser.

• Frequency: 1-2 times per week, or as needed for intensive soothing care.
• When to Use: In your evening routine, after cleansing and toning.
• Application:
  1. Carefully remove the mask from its packaging and unfold it.
  2. Apply the sheet to your face, aligning the holes with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  3. Smooth out any air bubbles to ensure full contact with the skin.
  4. Relax for 10-20 minutes.
  5. Remove the mask and discard it. Do not rinse your face.
  6. Gently pat the leftover essence into your face, neck, and even your arms until it's fully absorbed.
• Pro Tip for Mauritius: On hot days, store the mask in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before use for an extra cooling and de-puffing effect that feels incredible on heat-stressed skin.

This mask is a calming treatment, perfect for "off" nights from strong actives.

• Example Week (PM Focus):
  • Mon: Retinoid Night
  • Tue: Soothing Night + Dr. Belmeur Cica Peptide Mask
  • Wed: Exfoliant Night (AHA/BHA)
  • Thu: Soothing Night
  • Fri: Retinoid Night
  • Sat: Soothing Night + Dr. Belmeur Cica Peptide Mask
  • Sun: Soothing Night

Rule: Use this mask on nights when you are not using strong exfoliants (like high-concentration AHAs/BHAs) or retinoids to give your skin a chance to calm, repair, and hydrate.

• Immediately: Skin feels deeply hydrated, soothed, and looks visibly less red. Any feeling of tightness or irritation is significantly reduced.
• 2-4 Weeks (with 1-2x weekly use): The skin barrier feels stronger and more resilient. You may notice that your skin is less reactive to environmental triggers. Redness from past breakouts may appear calmer.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Skin texture appears smoother and more even-toned due to consistent hydration and barrier support. Overall skin health is improved, leading to a natural, healthy glow.

Instead of using harsh DIY remedies like lemon juice or undiluted essential oils to calm irritation...
Why it's a mistake: These can disrupt your skin's pH, cause chemical burns, and worsen sensitivity or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially in Mauritius's strong sun.
Use this Cica Peptide Mask instead.
Why it's better: It uses a lab-tested, pH-balanced formula with proven soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica and barrier-supporting peptides. This provides effective, predictable calming without the risk of irritation, helping your skin heal properly.

• Works Well With: Hydrating ingredients (Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol), Niacinamide, and most gentle serums and moisturisers. It's excellent for providing comfort when your skin is adjusting to new products.
• Use Carefully With: It's best not to use this mask on the same night as high-strength retinoids or chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA). Use it on alternating "recovery" nights to support your skin barrier.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to open wounds or severely broken skin.

• Sensitive/Irritated: Excellent. This mask is specifically designed to be gentle and to calm redness and irritation.
• Dry/Dehydrated: Excellent. The rich ampoule provides an intense surge of moisture.
• Combination/Oily: Very Good. Provides deep hydration without being heavy or greasy. It can help balance skin by restoring water content.
• Acne-Prone: Very Good. Helps to soothe inflammation from active breakouts and supports the healing process without clogging pores.

• Redness and flushing
• Compromised or damaged skin barrier
• Skin sensitivity and reactivity
• Dehydration and tightness
• Post-breakout irritation

Key Actives Explained:

• Centella Asiatica Complex (Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid): A powerhouse combination for soothing and repairing the skin. These compounds reduce inflammation, promote collagen synthesis, and help heal damaged skin, making them ideal for calming redness and irritation. (Evidence: Ingredient Rationale)
• Peptide Complex (Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Alanyl Glutamine): Short chains of amino acids that act as building blocks for proteins like collagen and elastin. They help to strengthen the skin barrier, improve firmness, and support overall skin health. Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is known for its ability to soften the appearance of expression lines. (Evidence: Ingredient Rationale)
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): A humectant that attracts and holds moisture in the skin. It is also highly effective at soothing redness and supporting skin barrier repair. (Evidence: Ingredient Rationale)
• Ceramide NP & Cholesterol: Skin-identical lipids that are crucial components of the skin barrier. Replenishing these helps to lock in moisture, prevent water loss, and protect the skin from external irritants. (Evidence: Ingredient Rationale)
• Beta-Glucan: A polysaccharide derived from yeast or oats that is excellent for soothing sensitive skin, providing deep hydration, and reducing redness. (Evidence: Ingredient Rationale)

• Fragrance Status: Contains added fragrance ("Parfum"/"Fragrance"). However, the brand states it is formulated without 26 common potential fragrance allergens.
• Scent Profile: The scent is generally described as light, fresh, and subtly herbal or medicinal, typical of the Dr. Belmeur line.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand among the 26 common allergens.
• Potential Irritants: While formulated for sensitive skin, the INCI list contains some fatty acids (Myristic Acid, Palmitic Acid) and fatty alcohols (Stearyl Alcohol, Cetearyl Alcohol) that can be comedogenic for some individuals. The ingredient "Algin" can also have a higher potential for clogging pores in highly susceptible skin. As with any new product, a patch test is strongly advised.

For External Use Only. Avoid direct contact with eyes. Discontinue use immediately if a rash, irritation, or any other adverse reaction occurs, and consult a doctor. Do not use on broken or damaged skin. Keep out of reach of children.

Patch Test Protocol for Sensitive Skin:

1. Squeeze a small amount of the essence from the mask packet onto a clean patch of skin, such as the jawline or behind the ear.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, the mask is likely safe for you to use. However, if irritation develops, rinse the area thoroughly and do not use the mask.

Guidance for Teens: This mask is gentle and can be suitable for teenagers experiencing irritation or sensitivity from acne treatments. It's a good way to introduce the concept of soothing and barrier care into their routine.

• Texture: The mask sheet itself is soft and adheres well to the skin. The essence (ampoule) has a substantial, slightly viscous gel-like texture, not watery or drippy.
• Finish: After removal, it leaves the skin feeling deeply hydrated, plump, and with a visible dewy glow. It can feel slightly tacky initially but absorbs to a smooth, comfortable finish.
• Scent: A light, clean, and slightly herbal fragrance.
• pH: Not officially published by the brand, but derma-cosmetic lines like Dr. Belmeur typically formulate products to be within a skin-friendly pH range (approx. 5.0-6.5).
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains several ingredients that may pose a risk for those with fungal acne, including Jojoba Seed Oil and PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil. Not considered FA-safe.

• Issue: The mask feels a bit sticky after I take it off.

  Solution: This is normal due to the high concentration of the ampoule. Give it a few more minutes to absorb, gently patting. You can also apply your nighttime moisturiser on top while the skin is still slightly damp to help seal it in and reduce the tacky feeling.

• Issue: I didn't see a dramatic difference after one use.

  Solution: While the mask provides immediate soothing and hydration, its barrier-repairing benefits are cumulative. Consistent use (1-2 times a week) is key to seeing long-term improvements in skin resilience and health.

• Issue: The mask 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 mouth area to customize the fit and ensure it lays flat against your skin for better contact.

This mask is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: Perfect for calming redness, heat rash, and irritation caused by sun exposure and high humidity. The cooling sensation (especially if refrigerated) provides immediate relief.
• Drier Winters/AC Exposure: Provides an intense boost of hydration to counteract the drying effects of indoor air-conditioning or the less humid winter months, preventing tightness and flakiness.
• Post-Beach Care: An excellent treatment to use after a day at the beach to soothe sun-exposed skin, calm any redness, and replenish lost moisture.

Yes, absolutely. The Centella Asiatica and Peptide complex in this mask is excellent for calming the inflammation and redness associated with active breakouts. It will not clog pores and can help support the healing process.
