FAQs
How often should I use this mask?
It is recommended to use the mask once or twice a week depending on your skin's tolerance to high-concentration retinol.
Can I use this with other active skincare products?
Avoid using heavy AHAs, BHAs, or high-potency Vitamin C products in the same routine to avoid over-sensitizing the skin.
Do I need to wash my face after the 40 minutes?
No, you should gently pat the remaining serum into your skin to ensure all the nutrients are fully absorbed.
Is this mask suitable for sensitive skin?
The formula is designed to minimize irritation, but because it contains 1% retinol, it is best to consult a dermatologist or perform a patch test first.
What is the primary benefit of the gel mask design?
The gel mask acts as an occlusive layer that prevents evaporation, forcing the retinol and collagen into the skin more effectively than a standard serum.
Troubleshooting
Slight tingling sensation during application
A mild tingling can be normal with high-potency retinol. If it becomes burning or painful, remove the mask immediately and rinse with cool water.
Difficulty keeping the mask in place
Ensure the skin is completely dry before application and try to remain lying down or reclining during the 40-minute session.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your skin, ensure it is thoroughly cleansed and free of heavy exfoliants or Vitamin C products immediately prior to use to prevent potential irritation. Store the masks in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the retinol molecules. If you are a beginner to retinol, perform a patch test on the inner arm before applying the mask to your face. Always follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen the following morning, as retinol use can increase skin sensitivity to UV radiation.
