What it is

A two-piece hydrogel mask delivering a concentrated serum with Vitatinol complex, brighteners, and humectants to refine texture and boost radiance while cooling the skin.

Who it's for

  • Dull or uneven-looking skin needing a radiance boost.
  • Normal, dry, or combination skin wanting smoothing and hydration.
  • Those comfortable with retinol-type cosmetic actives in a mask format.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Vitatinol complex (vitamin + retinol-type cosmetic actives) — targets visible fine lines and uneven tone.
  • Niacinamide — supports even tone appearance and barrier resilience.
  • Humectants (e.g., hyaluronic acid/glycerin) — attract and hold moisture.
  • Soothing agents (e.g., panthenol/centella derivatives) — comfort and calm skin.

Free-from / texture

  • Hydrogel mask with dewy serum; non-greasy finish.
  • Unscented or very low fragrance; review INCI for sensitivities.
  • Leaves skin cushioned and prepped for moisturizer.

How to use & order

  • PM use preferred. After cleansing/toner, apply mask pieces to fit your face.
  • Leave on 10–20 minutes; remove and tap in remaining essence.
  • Follow with moisturizer; start 1–2 times weekly, increase as tolerated. Use sunscreen during the day.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Avoid same-routine use with strong acids, retinoids, or benzoyl peroxide.
  • Keep supporting steps gentle and hydrating to buffer potential sensitivity.
  • Patch test if you have sensitive or compromised skin; discontinue if irritation persists.

Evidence & notes

  • Vitatinol and brighteners are cosmetic ingredients; firming/brightening effects are cosmetic in nature.
  • Humectants provide plumping when sealed with moisturizer; sunscreen is essential with nighttime retinol-type use.
  • Hydrogel masks offer temporary hydration and smoothing benefits.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Do not reuse masks; discard after one use.
  • Avoid broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: consult your physician before using vitamin A derivatives.
