A single-use treatment mask saturated with a potent essence of Glutathione and Niacinamide. Designed to deliver an immediate brightening effect, this mask helps to even out skin tone, diminish the appearance of dark spots, and restore a healthy glow, making it an ideal "pick-me-up" for skin that looks tired or dull in Mauritius' demanding climate.

Struggling with post-acne marks, sun spots, or a complexion that's lost its radiance? This sheet mask offers a focused dose of brightening ingredients to help restore clarity and luminosity.

• What it is: A serum-soaked cotton sheet mask for intensive brightening and hydration.
• What it does: Visibly brightens the complexion, helps fade the appearance of dark spots and uneven tone, and provides a surge of moisture for a temporary "glass skin" effect.
• Who it's for: Best suited for those with dull, tired-looking skin, or concerns about post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and uneven skin tone. Suitable for most skin types, including combination and oily.

Use this mask as a weekly treatment, not a daily step.

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Apply Mask: Unfold the mask and place it on your face. Relax for 10-20 minutes.
3. Moisturise: Remove the mask, pat in the remaining essence, and follow with your regular moisturiser to seal in the benefits.

Mindful Consumption Note: This is a supplementary treatment. If you already have a brightening serum you enjoy, use this mask as an occasional boost rather than an additional daily step.

This mask is best used in the evening to allow the potent essence to work overnight. Use it 1-2 times per week.

• Minimalist Routine (1-2x per week):
  1. Cleanser: Double cleanse if wearing makeup or water-resistant sunscreen.
  2. Toner (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner to prep the skin.
  3. APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Sheet Mask: Leave on for 10-20 minutes.
  4. Moisturiser: After removing the mask and patting in the essence, apply your moisturiser.
• Texture Rule: Apply this mask after your thinnest products (like toners) and before your thickest products (like creams).

• Amount: One full sheet mask per session.
• Frequency: Use 1-2 times per week as an intensive treatment.
• Method:
  1. After cleansing and toning, carefully unfold the mask.
  2. Align the holes with your eyes, nose, and mouth, and smooth it over your face.
  3. Relax for 10-20 minutes.
  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: Don't waste the extra essence in the pouch! Apply it to your neck, décolletage, elbows, and the backs of your hands.

Integrate this mask into your weekly routine as a targeted treatment. Avoid using other strong exfoliants (AHA, BHA) or retinoids on the same night to prevent irritation.

• Example Weekly PM Schedule:
  • Monday: Hydration Night (Gentle routine)
  • Tuesday: Exfoliant Night (e.g., AHA/BHA toner)
  • Wednesday: APLB Sheet Mask Night
  • Thursday: Retinoid Night (if in your routine)
  • Friday: Hydration Night
  • Saturday: Hydration Night
  • Sunday: APLB Sheet Mask Night (or a soothing/hydrating mask)

Rule of thumb: Give your skin a "rest" day with only gentle, hydrating products between nights with strong actives.

Individual results vary based on skin type, consistency of use, and diligent sun protection.

• Immediately: Skin feels deeply hydrated, plump, and appears visibly brighter with a temporary dewy glow. It's an excellent prep step before a special occasion.
• After 2-4 Weeks (with 1-2x weekly use): Skin may feel softer and look more radiant overall. The immediate glow may last longer.
• After 8+ Weeks: With consistent use alongside daily sunscreen, you may notice a visible improvement in skin evenness and a reduction in the appearance of stubborn dark spots and post-acne marks.

• Choose This: A formulated sheet mask with Glutathione and Niacinamide for targeted, gentle brightening.
• Instead of That: Applying neat lemon juice to your face. While lemons contain Vitamin C, the juice is highly acidic (pH ~2) and contains photosensitizing compounds. This can cause chemical burns, disrupt your skin barrier, and lead to phytophotodermatitis—a painful rash that can cause worse, long-lasting dark spots (PIH) when exposed to the sun. This mask delivers brightening ingredients in a safe, pH-balanced, and non-photosensitizing way.

• Works Well With: Hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Centella Asiatica, and Panthenol. Using these in your daily routine will support the brightening effects of this mask.
• Use With Caution: Avoid using this mask on the same night as other potent active treatments like high-concentration retinoids, AHA/BHA exfoliants, or strong Vitamin C serums to minimize the risk of irritation. It's best to alternate nights.
• Always Pair With: Daily, broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) is non-negotiable. Brightening ingredients work to fade spots, but sun exposure will create new ones and darken existing ones, undoing your progress.

• Excellent for: Dull, Combination, Oily, and Normal skin types concerned with uneven tone.
• Good for: Dry skin types, as the essence is very hydrating. Follow up with a rich moisturiser to seal it in.
• Use with Caution: Very sensitive or reactive skin types should patch test first. As the full ingredient list is not public, potential fragrance or botanical extracts could be a trigger for some individuals.

Key Actives Explained:

• Glutathione: Often called the "master antioxidant," Glutathione helps to protect skin cells from oxidative damage. Topically, it is known to interfere with melanin production, helping to brighten the complexion and reduce the appearance of hyperpigmentation. (Ingredient Rationale)
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A powerhouse ingredient that works by inhibiting the transfer of melanin pigment to your skin cells, which helps fade dark spots and even out skin tone. It also strengthens the skin barrier, regulates oil production, and has anti-inflammatory properties. (Ingredient Rationale)

Full INCI List: The complete ingredient list is not published by the brand for this specific product. We have based our analysis on the declared functional ingredients.

• Fragrance Status: Unknown. Some user reviews mention a noticeable scent, suggesting the presence of fragrance or fragrant essential oils.
• EU Allergen List: Cannot be verified without the complete INCI list.

*Based on user reviews; trace fragrance components may persist from botanicals; patch test advised. / *EU allergen list cannot be fully verified without complete INCI; patch test advised.

• For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use on broken or irritated skin.
• Discontinue use and consult a specialist if you experience any signs of irritation, such as redness, swelling, or itching.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before using for the first time, apply a small amount of the essence from the pouch to a discreet area of skin, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If no irritation occurs, it is likely safe to use on your face.

• Texture: A soft sheet (likely cotton or tencel) soaked in a lightweight, watery serum-like essence.
• Scent: Some users report a light, fresh fragrance. Intensity is subjective.
• pH: Not published by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Unknown without the full ingredient list. Patch test advised for those with fungal acne concerns.

• Issue: The mask is stinging or causing redness.
  • Solution: Remove the mask immediately and rinse your face with cool water. Your skin may be sensitive to an ingredient in the formula. Discontinue use. Apply a simple, soothing moisturiser.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results for my dark spots after one use.
  • Solution: Sheet masks provide immediate hydration and a temporary glow. Fading hyperpigmentation requires consistent, long-term treatment. Use the mask 1-2 times weekly and ensure you are applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every single day to see gradual improvement over 8+ weeks.

• Humid Summers: This mask is a perfect cooling treat after a hot day. Store it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before use for an extra soothing, de-puffing effect. The lightweight essence absorbs well in humidity and may be hydrating enough for oily skin types to use a very light gel moisturiser afterwards.
• Drier Winters/AC Environments: The hydrating essence helps combat dryness from indoor air conditioning. Ensure you follow up with a more substantial moisturiser to lock in the moisture and protect your skin barrier.

Can I use this sheet mask every day?

It's not recommended. This is an intensive treatment mask best used 1-2 times per week. Overusing sheet masks, especially those with active ingredients, can potentially lead to irritation or skin sensitivity.

Will this mask bleach or lighten my natural skin color?

No. The "brightening" effect refers to evening out your skin tone by fading dark spots (like sun spots or acne marks) and improving overall radiance. It does not change your skin's natural, inherent color.

What should I do with the extra essence in the packet?

Don't let it go to waste! After applying the mask, pour the remaining essence into your palm and pat it onto your neck, chest, arms, and hands. It's a great way to give those areas a treatment boost.

• Best For: Individuals with dullness, uneven skin tone, or post-acne marks who want an instant boost of radiance and hydration.
