Key Benefits
Accelerated Cell Turnover: Retinol promotes desquamation of aged keratinocytes, unveiling smoother, more radiant skin Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology.
Stimulates Collagen Production: Clinical studies show retinoids upregulate collagen I and III, reducing wrinkle depth and increasing dermal thickness American Academy of Dermatology.
Targets Hyperpigmentation: Inhibits melanin transfer and disperses existing pigment, helping fade age spots, melasma, and sun damage Skin Pharmacology and Physiology.
Refines Pores & Texture: Peel-off action clears comedones, blackheads, and whiteheads for visibly tightened pores and smoother skin surface.
Visible Firming & Lifting: Regular use improves elasticity, supporting a more youthful contour.
How It Works
Upon application, the mask adheres to dead cells and surface debris. As the film sets, encapsulated retinol begins to penetrate the epidermis, engaging retinoic acid receptors (RARs) to modulate gene expression for renewal and repair. Peeling away the mask lifts away accumulated sebum and keratin plugs, while the residual retinol infusion continues to work for up to 48 hours post-treatment.
