Feeling like your skin is losing its bounce or seeing fine lines become more noticeable? This mask is for you. It's an ideal starting point for introducing retinoids into your routine or for giving your existing anti-aging regimen a significant boost. It's formulated to be effective yet gentle enough for weekly use.

• Skin Type: Suitable for Normal, Combination, Oily, and Dry skin types concerned with signs of aging. Not recommended for highly sensitive skin, or those pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Key Concerns: Fine Lines, Wrinkles, Loss of Elasticity, Dullness, Uneven Skin Texture.
• Texture: A soft, flexible microfiber sheet mask soaked in a milky, nourishing essence.

1. Cleanse & Tone: Wash your face thoroughly and apply a hydrating toner.
2. Apply Mask: Carefully unfold the mask and place it onto your face, smoothing it out. Leave it on for 10-20 minutes.
3. Absorb & Moisturise: Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your skin until absorbed. Follow with your favorite moisturiser to seal everything in.

Note: Already own a similar active treatment? Use this on an alternate night to avoid irritation. Substitute, don’t stack strong actives.

This mask is for PM use only, 1-2 times per week.

• Minimalist Routine (On Mask Night):
  1. Oil Cleanser (If removing makeup/sunscreen)
  2. Water-Based Cleanser
  3. Hydrating Toner (Optional, helps essence absorb better)
  4. THIS PRODUCT (Retinol Mask) (Apply for 10-20 minutes)
  5. Moisturiser (Essential to lock in hydration and buffer the retinol)

Important: On the night you use this mask, do not use any other exfoliants (AHA, BHA, PHA) or high-concentration Vitamin C serums.

• Frequency: Start with once a week in the evening. If your skin responds well after 2-3 weeks, you may increase to twice a week on non-consecutive nights.
• Prep: Start with a clean, dry face. Applying a simple hydrating toner first can help the mask's essence absorb more effectively.
• Application:
  1. Open the packet and carefully unfold the mask.
  2. Align the holes with your eyes, nose, and mouth and gently press the mask onto your face.
  3. Use the extra essence left in the packet for your neck, chest, and the backs of your hands.
  4. Relax for 10-20 minutes. A slight tingling sensation can be normal for first-time retinol users, but if it becomes a persistent burn, remove the mask immediately.
  5. Remove the mask and discard it. Do not rinse your face.
  6. Gently pat the remaining essence into your skin until fully absorbed.
• Follow-up: Always follow up with a nourishing moisturiser. This is non-negotiable as it helps to minimise potential dryness and irritation. The next morning, applying sunscreen is mandatory as retinoids can increase photosensitivity.

Use this mask as a dedicated treatment in your weekly PM routine. Never use it on the same night as other strong actives.

• Example Retinol Week (PM Focus):
  • Mon: THIS PRODUCT (Retinol Mask) Night
  • Tue: Soothing Night (Hydrating toner, calming serum, moisturiser)
  • Wed: Exfoliant Night (AHA or BHA, if in your routine)
  • Thu: Soothing Night
  • Fri: THIS PRODUCT (Retinol Mask) Night (Only if skin is tolerating it well)
  • Sat: Soothing Night
  • Sun: Soothing Night or Hydrating Mask

Rules of Thumb:

• One strong active per night. Do not mix this mask with exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or other retinoids.
• Always follow with a moisturiser.
• Sunscreen (SPF 30+) is essential every single morning.

• Immediately: Skin will feel deeply hydrated, plump, and look more radiant due to the essence.
• After 4-6 Weeks (using 1-2x/week): You may start to notice a smoother skin texture and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines. Skin may appear firmer and more elastic. (Ingredient rationale)
• After 12+ Weeks: With consistent use alongside daily sun protection, improvements in firmness and overall skin clarity should become more apparent. (Ingredient rationale)

Results depend on consistent use and diligent sun protection. This is a cosmetic product, not a medical treatment.

• Why this, not harsh physical scrubs? This mask uses chemical exfoliants and cell-communicating retinoids to refine skin texture from within. Harsh scrubs (like those with large, jagged particles or DIY sugar scrubs) can cause micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation and worsening hyperpigmentation (PIH), especially in the Mauritian sun.
• Why this, not DIY anti-aging masks? This formula contains a stabilised, lab-tested blend of Retinol, Retinal, and Bakuchiol at a specific concentration for cosmetic efficacy and safety. DIY masks lack preservatives, have unknown potency, and can introduce bacteria or cause unpredictable irritation.

• Works Well With: Hydrating ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, Glycerin, and soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica. Apply these in your toner or moisturiser step. Niacinamide is also included in the formula for its brightening and barrier-supporting benefits.
• Use With Caution: Introduce slowly if you are already using other anti-aging products. Reduce the frequency of other actives when you start using this mask.
• Do Not Use in the Same Routine: High-concentration Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid), AHA exfoliants (Glycolic, Lactic Acid), BHA exfoliants (Salicylic Acid), and other Retinoid products (prescription or cosmetic). Alternate these on different nights.

• Oily / Combination: Excellent. The essence is nourishing without being heavy or greasy, and retinoids can help regulate sebum production over time.
• Normal: Ideal. Provides a perfect weekly boost to maintain skin health and prevent premature signs of aging.
• Dry: Very good, but you must follow with a rich moisturiser to counteract any potential dryness from the retinol. The milky essence provides a good initial layer of hydration.
• Sensitive: Use with caution. A patch test is essential. Start with a shorter application time (10 minutes) and use only once every 10-14 days to build tolerance. If you have rosacea or eczema, consult a professional before use.

• Fine Lines & Wrinkles: Addresses the appearance of expression lines and age-related creases.
• Loss of Firmness: Helps improve skin elasticity for a bouncier, more youthful look.
• Uneven Skin Texture: Refines the skin's surface for a smoother feel.
• Dullness & Lack of Radiance: Promotes cell turnover to reveal brighter, clearer-looking skin.

• MFDS Class: Functional Cosmetic. This product is certified by the South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS, formerly KFDA) for two functions:
  • Wrinkle-Improving: Contains Adenosine, a functional ingredient recognized for its anti-wrinkle properties.
  • Brightening: Contains Niacinamide, a functional ingredient recognized for helping with skin radiance and dark spots.
• Retinoid Complex: The formula features a trio of Retinol, Retinal, and Bakuchiol to provide a comprehensive approach to skin renewal. Percentages are not disclosed by the brand.
• Disclaimer: This is a cosmetic product intended to improve the appearance of skin. It is not a medical treatment for any disease.

Key Actives Explained:

• Retinoid Complex (Retinol, Retinal): The gold standard for anti-aging. They work to accelerate skin cell turnover, boost collagen production, and refine skin texture. Retinal is known to work faster than Retinol.
• Bakuchiol: A plant-derived antioxidant that provides similar benefits to retinol (improving fine lines, firmness, and pigmentation) but is generally considered gentler on the skin. It complements the retinoids in the formula.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A versatile ingredient that brightens skin tone, strengthens the skin barrier, calms inflammation, and helps regulate oil production.
• Adenosine: An MFDS-certified anti-wrinkle ingredient that energizes the skin's surface, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
• Panthenol & Hyaluronic Acid: Powerful humectants that draw moisture into the skin, providing deep hydration and plumping effects to counteract any dryness from the retinoids.

• Scent: Any faint scent is from the raw ingredients themselves. Intensity: 0/5.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided ingredient list.

Who should use with caution:

• First-time Retinoid Users: Expect a potential "purging" period where underlying breakouts may surface. This is temporary. Start slow (1x/week).
• Sensitive Skin: Perform a patch test. Apply a small amount of the essence from the packet to your jawline or behind your ear. Wait 24-48 hours. If significant redness or irritation occurs, do not use.
• Pregnancy/Breastfeeding: Retinoids are generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Please consult your doctor.

General Safety:

• For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, lips, and broken or irritated skin.
• Do not leave the mask on for longer than the recommended 20 minutes.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

• If you feel tingling or stinging: A mild, brief tingling can be normal. If it's intense or doesn't subside, remove the mask immediately and rinse your face with cool water. Apply a soothing moisturiser. Reduce frequency in the future.
• If your skin feels dry or flaky the next day: This is a common side effect of retinoids. Ensure you are using a rich, nourishing moisturiser after the mask and every morning and night. Consider using the "sandwich method": moisturiser -> mask essence -> moisturiser.
• If you experience redness: Your skin may be sensitive to the formula or you may be overusing it. Reduce use to once every 10-14 days and ensure you are not using other actives on the same night.

• Humid Summers: This mask is perfect for a potent treatment without adding a heavy daily serum to your routine. After removing the mask, a light gel-cream moisturiser might be sufficient to lock in the benefits without feeling sticky.
• Drier Winters/AC Exposure: Your skin may feel tighter. After using the mask, layer a more substantial, creamy moisturiser to provide a stronger barrier and prevent moisture loss in dry air-conditioned environments.
• Sun Exposure: Non-negotiable. The Mauritian sun is strong. You must use a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher every single day when using this product, as retinoids increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Reapply as needed.

• FOR GENTLER, SOOTHING CARE: SOME BY MI Real Cica Calming Care Mask (20g) — Choose this if your skin is irritated, red, or sensitive. It uses Centella Asiatica to soothe and repair the skin barrier, making it a perfect option for "off-nights" from actives.

• FOR DAILY BRIGHTENING (VITAMIN C): SOME BY MI Real Vitamin Brightening Care Mask (20g) — Choose this for targeting dullness and dark spots with Vitamin C. Use this on a different night from the retinol mask to avoid irritation.

• Can I use this mask if I have acne?
  Retinoids can be beneficial for acne, but this mask is primarily formulated for anti-aging. If you have active, inflamed acne, focus on calming and clarifying products first. For post-acne marks (PIH), this can be helpful, but introduce it slowly.
• Why can't I use it every day?
  This is a high-potency treatment. Daily use would likely lead to excessive dryness, peeling, and irritation. Weekly or bi-weekly use provides the benefits without overwhelming the skin barrier.
• What's the difference between this and a retinol serum?
  A sheet mask provides a more intensive, occlusive treatment. The sheet prevents the essence from evaporating quickly, allowing for deeper penetration over 10-20 minutes. A serum is designed for lighter, daily application.
• Do I need to wash my face after using the mask?
  No, do not wash your face. The essence left on your skin contains all the beneficial ingredients. Simply pat it in until absorbed and follow with your moisturiser.

• Best For: Individuals looking for a potent, convenient weekly treatment to target fine lines, texture, and firmness.
• Key Benefits: Visibly improves skin texture and elasticity, reduces the appearance of wrinkles, and boosts radiance with a powerful retinoid complex.
• Keep in Mind: This is a strong active treatment. Not for the super-sensitive, pregnant, or breastfeeding. Sunscreen the next day is mandatory. Do not mix with other exfoliants on the same night.
