Kose Clear Turn Essence Mask Vitamin C

Kose Clear Turn Essence Mask Vitamin C

Sheet masks are one of my favorite souvenirs to buy when I'm traveling, since they don't count as liquids—and they're easy to stuff into my already-too-full carryon luggage. I bought quite a few sheet masks during my trip to Japan last fall. I can't read Japanese, so while I was there, I looked for products that displayed a "No. 1" symbol, since I assumed that they indicated that the product was popular. One such product was a 5-pack of Kose Clear Turn White Vitamin C Sheet Masks. The wording of this mask is somewhat confusing—it's actually Kose Clear Turn - White Mask. It's not going to turn you white, but it is designed to brighten your skin with a mixture of vitamin C and other ingredients like horsetail extract (also known as equisetum arvense extract),

Kose is one of the premier beauty companies in Japan—if you go to any highly trafficked area, you'll probably notice a billboard ad for one of their highly popular products. They also make the Softymo Speedy and Deep Treatment oil cleansers I've used.

Kose Clear Turn White Vitamin C Face Mask ingredients

l-ascorbic acid 2-glucoside, water, 1,3-butylene glycol, dipropylene glycol, clematis vitalba extract, spiraea ulmaria flower extract, horsetail extract, hedera helix extract, sambucus nigra extract, EDTA, xanthan gum, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, disodium phosphate, monosodium phosphate, sodium hydroxide, glycerin, methylparaben

The "active" ingredient in this mask is l-ascorbic acid 2-glucoside (AA2G), which is a stabilized version of vitamin C. I arrived at this version of ingredients by scanning the package with the Google Translate mobile app and referring to the main ingredients listed on Kose's website. The Google Translate app does a good job of translating chemicals like hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and sodium hydroxide, but the natural extracts took a bit of guessing. It listed "sambucus nigra extract" as "seaweed extract" and "clematis vitalba extract" as just "clematis extract." It also listed "hedera helix extract" (ivy extract) as "honeysuckle extract." Still, it got me farther than I would have gotten on my own, with my nonexistent Japanese skills.

Kose Clear Turn White Vitamin C Face Mask review

The first thing I noticed about Kose Clear Turn White Vitamin C Face Mask is that its surface area is smaller than average. I know for certain that it's smaller than The Face Shop's sheet masks because I used sheet masks from these two brands two days in a row to compare. Kose's sheet mask barely fit over my face, length-wise, while The Face Shop's was much larger and provided a lot of overhang that folded well into the upper neck/jaw area. So if you have a large face you might find that this Kose mask won't provide all the coverage you need. The website states that the shape of the mask has been redesigned to provide a "snug fit even around the eyes and mouth," so perhaps that was the intent.

This mask is designed to brighten skin with the inclusion of a stabilized version of vitamin C. It also contains horsetail extract, an ingredient that I saw pretty often in sheet masks while I was in Japan. I saw quite a few that advertised "horsetail" as the primary ingredient. Though this particular sheet mask doesn't highlight it as a main ingredient, it does include it in the ingredient list. Horsetail was also included in artnaturals's Vitamin C serum, and in that review, my dad stated that he thought that horsetail would help protect skin from irritation and inflammation. Another nice thing about this mask is that it's fragrance-free, which is (sadly) pretty rare when it comes to sheet masks. It's also free of alcohol and dyes.

I have used about three out of the five masks included in this pack, and I haven't noticed any irritation so far. It does leave my skin feeling hydrated afterward, but I haven't noticed much brightening at all. I don't think it's a mask that's going to wow you, but if you're looking for a fragrance-free sheet mask that will make you feel pampered for a little while—and leave your skin more hydrated—this is a great sheet mask to work into your repertoire.

Vitamin C Skin Care Benefits:
All You Need to Know

Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is the ultimate powerhouse of serum ingredients. Not like we're biased or anything, but EVERYONE should incorporate vitamin C into their skin care routine.

Vitamin C benefits the human body in many ways, but for skin care, think of vitamin C as an antioxidant that fights free radicals and facilitates the production of collagen. Commonly known as ascorbic acid, vitamin C is naturally occurring in both the surface and deeper layers of your skin, and when topically applied, vitamin C delivers a variety of anti-aging benefits. Vitamin C does it all: she brightens, she boosts collagen, she fades hyperpigmentation, she fights sun damage, she fights environmental toxins, she reduces redness, and most importantly, she prevents fine lines and wrinkles. She even heals burns (what can't she do). We suggest that everyone (young, old, all skin types) use a vitamin C serum, especially because natural vitamin C levels decrease with age (which directly results in lower collagen levels). Less collagen causes fine lines, wrinkles, and saggy skin. Bleh. All in all, vitamin C is a total package ingredient that will wonderfully benefit all skin types. Vitamin C is the key for brighter, firmer, healthier skin.

Top 6 Vitamin C Skin Care Benefits

✓ Fades Mild Hyperpigmentation
EVENS OUT COMPLEXION

Vitamin C is natural beauty blender that evens out your overall complexion and lightens hyperpigmentation (freckles, sun spots, age spots, acne scars, any other sun damage, etc.). Vitamin C reduces melanin levels (skin pigment levels) by cutting off the supply of what your skin uses to make melanin: tyrosine. Less tyrosine means less melanin, which means --> faded dark spots. Hell yeah. For the record, don't confuse lighten with whiten. Vitamin C will lighten dark spots to match your base skin tone. Vitamin C will not whiten your skin.

✓ Reduces Redness
SOOTHES INFLAMMATION

Vitamin C is an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties that reduces redness (as well as mild rosacea and inflammation). Vitamin C also strengthens blood vessels and minimize the appearance of broken capillaries.

✓ Collagen Booster
ANTI-AGING. YES PLEASE.

Vitamin C increases collagen production to maintain firm, bouncy skin. Vitamin C boosts collagen by increasing the production of the amino acids needed to make collagen (glycine, hydroxyproline, and proline). Fun fact: vitamin C not only stimulates new collagen production, but also protects existing collagen in your face (great because we're not trying to let any of our precious collagen go).

✓ Brightens Complexion
GET THE JLO GLOW

Vitamin C brightens complexion (a.k.a reveals your inner, shine bright like a diamond face). We call it the The Vitamin C Glow: the combo of faded hyperpigmentation and pigmented dark circles, reduced redness, and boosted collagen means goodbye to tired, dull skin.

✓ Fights Free Radical Damage
ANTI-AGING. YES PLEASE.

Sparknotes: Vitamin C fights free radical damage with it's antioxidant properties (reminder: free radical damage develops from sun damage, pollution, chemicals, and environmental toxins and causes premature aging like fine lines and wrinkles, sagging, age spots, and at worst, skin cancer...yikes). As an electron donor, vitamin C is able to scavenge and stabilize free radicals in the skin.
Down the rabbit hole: What is free radical damage, actually? Free radicals are unstable cells that are desperate for another electron, and they go full-blown psycho by stealing an electron from literally any cell around it (mr. steal yo electron). If the free radical successfully steals an electron, it's now satisfied and chills out, but the cell it stole from now becomes a free radical itself, and the whole process of molecular damage repeats itself... vitamin C is the peacemaker that comes in with an extra electron and gives that extra electron to a hungry free radical. Vitamin C is a great ingredient to protect for your skin in a world of free radical damage!

✓ Prevents Fine Lines and Wrinkles
ANTI-AGING. YES PLEASE.

Vitamin C prevents fine lines and wrinkles in 2 ways: by protecting against free radicals and by boosting new collagen production/protecting existing collagen from breaking down (remember: the loss of collagen over time is a major cause of fine lines and wrinkles). One (very) sad thing to note...vitamin C cannot remove existing fine lines and wrinkles, but vitamin C can prevent new fine lines/wrinkles from developing prematurely. Prevention is key!

When to Use Vitamin C

SKIN CARE ROUTINE OPTION:
A serum, cream, or gel with vitamin C - apply in the AM for photoprotection against UV rays, and in the PM to fight free radicals while you sleep.

How to Apply Vitamin C

Always patch test before applying to your entire face! Apply small amount of vitamin C product to a small area on your forehead (where your facial skin is thickest). If there is no irritation within 24 hours, apply thin layer of vitamin C product to your entire face.

Vitamin C works best when applied to your entire face (avoid eyes, lips, and mouth) because it fights free radicals and facilitates the production of collagen.

For maximum results, let your vitamin C product fully dry before the next step in your skin care routine. Applying moisturizer immediately after vitamin C can prevent your skin from completely absorbing the vitamin C up.

Pair with vitamin E to fight free radicals. Vitamin C and vitamin E can both fight free radical damage separately, but combining vitamin C and vitamin E actually increases the power/potency of both ingredients (#bettertogether). Why? Vitamin C and vitamin E do more as a team because vitamin C "recharges" vitamin E. Basically, after vitamin E has donated its extra electron to a free radical, vitamin C says, "Hey boo, take my extra electron" to vitamin E; then vitamin E is like, "Hell yeah, now I have another electron to give to another free radical." Additionally, vitamin E can repair damage in the lipid cell membrane (the healthy fat barrier that protects the skin from the outside elements).

Vitamin E is also better absorbed when combined with vitamin C. Vitamin C works best on the surface level, whereas vitamin E is oil-soluble meaning it can go one deeper.

Pair with ferulic acid for solution stability. Vitamin C and ferulic acid are both antioxidants that fight free radical damage, and these ingredients are often combined in serums because ferulic acid strengthens the storage, absorption, and photoprotection of vitamin C.

GHS Tips

FOR VITAMIN C

Be Consistent

Results won't happen overnight. Consistency is key. It will take 6 to 8 weeks of consistent topical use before you begin to see significant improvements. Be patient - good things come to those who wait.

Close the Cap with Use

Vitamin C oxidizes on contact with oxygen and light (a.k.a. its chemical makeup changes and as a result it won't be beneficial for your skin anymore). When this happens, the product turns a yellowish-brown color. Put the cap on, and store in a cool, dark place. If you forget and the product is exposed to air for an extended period of time, the hyperpigmentation and anti-aging capabilities of vitamin C will be canceled out.

Look for Ascorbic Acid 👀

Ascorbic acid is the most effective and the most researched form of topical Vitamin C, and studies show that its more effective than any other synthetic derivatives of vitamin C. Why is it the best? Absorption of vitamin C depends on the pH of the solution--more acidic environments (pH 4.0 or less) deliver maximum Vitamin C absorption/benefits. FYI: There are many versions of ascorbic acid:

• Ascorbate phosphate: More stable than ascorbic acid but doesn't absorb as well.
• Ascorbyl palmitate: More stable than ascorbic acid but doesn't absorb as well. Some studies have shown toxic effects.

Besides ascorbic acid, there are several different forms of vitamin C used in skincare products. Those forms include sodium ascorbyl phosphate, ascorbyl palmitate, retinyl ascorbate, tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate, magnesium ascorbyl phosphate, and ascorbyl glucoside. 3-O ethyl ascorbic acid is another, although this relatively new form of vitamin C doesn't have much peer-reviewed research behind it yet. Nevertheless, all of these are worthy of your attention when included in a superior moisturizer, serum, essence, or toner.

15% to 20% is Best

The most effective vitamin C skin care products are serums that have a concentration of concentrations of 15% to 20%. These aren't for everyone - higher vitamin C concentrations can be irritable for those with sensitive skin. Consult your dermatologist if you're trying a more aggressive approach.

Follow Up With...

Moisturizer

Moisturize 2x a day (morning and night). Vitamin C works hard for your skin, but all that progress can be for nothing if you don't properly hydrate.

Sunscreen

Vitamin C may be able to fight sun damage, but it does not replace the protective effects of sunscreen against damaging UV rays. Limit your time in the sun and apply sunscreen daily.

Safety Tips

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is Cosmetic Ingredient Review approved and safe for topical in concentrations of up to 20% in skin care products.

SIDE EFFECTS: for the most part, vitamin C does not cause negative side effects, but on RARE occasions, you may see minor redness or irritation, or yellowish discoloration of the skin

DO

✓ Wear sunscreen!

✓ Close the cap with use

✓ Combine with vitamin E for maximum results (lots of products mix the two)

✓ Eat fruits & veggies high in vitamin C

DON'T

• Don't use vitamin C serum post a strong exfoliation, microdermabrasion, or chemical peel

FAQs about Vitamin C

Q. Are vitamin C and ascorbic acid the same?

Ascorbic acid is the chemical name for vitamin C and it is the purest form of vitamin C. There are two main types of ascorbic acid: L-ascorbic acid and D-ascorbic acid. There are synthetic, man-made versions of both L-ascorbic acid and D-ascrobic acid, but L-ascorbic acid is also naturally occurring in the human body and in nature (oranges, broccoli, etc.).

Q. Should I apply vitamin C in the morning or at night, or both?

Apply vitamin C day and night UNLESS you're also using AHAs (like glycolic acid or lactic acid) or BHAs (like salicylic acid). If you're using AHAs or BHAs in your skin routine, apply vitamin C in the morning only, and apply AHA/BHA at night only.

Q. Do vitamin C serums expire?

Yes, vitamin C serums expire. If the product turns a yellow-brownish color, it's done. Throw it away, and get a new one. Vitamin C expires when it oxidizes, and the molecular change strips away vitamin C's skin care super powers. Prolong the shelf life of your vitamin C by storing in a cool, dark place.

Q. What causes vitamin C serums to turn yellow/brown?

Vitamin C turns yellow/brown when it oxidizes (ick). Vitamin C oxidizes when it reacts with oxygen, and this reaction actually alters the chemical makeup of vitamin C (sadly, it changes it for the worse...oxidized vitamin C becomes dehydroascorbic acid and will no longer deliver Vitamin C's wonderful skin care benefits). Long story short, oxidized, yellow-brown vitamin C belongs in the trash. FYI, vitamin C oxidizes when it comes into contact with air, sunlight, and heat. To extend the shelf-life of your vitamin C product, store it in a cool, dark place.

Q. Does vitamin C serum really lose potency after it turns yellowish-brown? Should I throw out my vitamin C product after it turns yellowish-brown?

Yes, yes, yes, throw that yellow-brown serum away. The darker the color, the less effective the vitamin C is. A yellowish-brown color is a sign that your vitamin C serum has oxidized. When vitamin C oxidizes, it turns into dehydroascorbic acid, and no longer benefits your skin. See an example of expired vitamin C serum (the darkest yellow drop is the bad Vitamin C).

Q. What is the difference between vitamin C and vitamin E?

Like vitamin C, vitamin E is also an antioxidant meaning both vitamins fight free radical damage caused by UV rays, toxins, pollution, and environmental damage. Where they differ (in a big way) is vitamin C is water-soluble (great for all skin types) whereas vitamin E is oil-soluble (oily and acne prone, beware). Another difference is how the two combat free radicals. Vitamin C can donate electrons to multiple free radicals, but vitamin E is a one and done--when it gives its extra electron to a free radical, it can't give to another free radical in need of some electron TLC. BUT, when used together, vitamin C can reinforce used up vitamin E by replenishing these babies with another electron to give away and keep on going (and going and going like an energizer bunny free radical fighter).

Q. Can I use vitamin C with retinol?

Yes! In fact, vitamin C and retinol not only pair well, but vitamin C has recently been shown to increase the effectiveness of retinol. Additionally, combining vitamin C, vitamin A (retinol), and vitamin E under sunscreen, has been shown to increase defense against UV damage.

Q. Can I use vitamin C with AHAs like glycolic acid, or BHAs like salicylic acid?

This is a weird one. Yes, you can, BUT you will get better results if you use vitamin C and glycolic acid/salicyclic acid separately. We recommend using vitamin C in the morning and your AHA or BHA at night.

Why? It all has to do with altering the pH of vitamin C products. Vitamin C serums (usually formulated with vitamin C derivatives like ascorbic acid or L-ascorbic acid) are typically formulated as acidic, low pH products to deliver maximum skin care benefits. When combined with other acidic products (AHAs like glyocolic acid or BHAs like salicylic acid), the pH of the vitamin C serum can change causing the overall product to be less effective. So yes, you can use vitamin C and AHAs/BHAs at the same time, but you won't be getting the full benefits of your vitamin C. FYI, there are some products that combine vitamin C with AHAs, but we recommend using these ingredients separately: use vitamin C in the morning and your AHA/BHA at night. We suggest using the AHA/BHA at night because hydroxyacids make your skin extra sensitive to UV rays.

Q. What are common brand names used to identify vitamin C on an ingredient list for skin care products?

• Vitamin C
• Ascorbic Acid
  • ascorbyl palmitate
  • ascorbyl magnesium phosphate
  • ascoryl glucoside
  • ascorbyl linoleate
  • sodium ascorbyl phosphate
  • retinyl ascorbate
  • tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate
  • magnesium ascorbyl phosphate
• D-ascorbic Acid
• L-ascorbic Acid
• Vitamin C Ester

10 Foods That Have More Vitamin C Than An Orange

Not about that citrus life? These fruits and veggies have everything you need.

Graphic By Dana Davenport; Davies And Starr / Getty Images

Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that's readily available in tons of fruits and veggies (not just oranges). And while it may not actually help cure a cold, as is commonly thought to be the case, Lindsey Pine, M.S., R.D., owner of Tasty Balance Nutrition, says it can boost your immune system and help your body fight infection. It's also a great vitamin to load up on after a workout because its anti-inflammatory properties can help decrease muscle inflammation.

So how much should you try to have on a daily basis? Pine explains that you can safely consume up to 2,000 mg of vitamin C, but you definitely don't need that much to reap the benefits—in fact, adult women only need about 75 mg a day, she says. Filling this quota is incredibly easy. Just one orange has about 100 mg of vitamin C, which is 130 percent of that daily recommended intake.

But oranges aren't the only source of this important nutrient. Whether you aren't a fan of that classic fruit, or are just looking to mix up your diet, these 10 foods have more than enough vitamin C to satisfy the daily recommendation—no citrus in sight.

  Bell peppers

  Veggies can be great sources of vitamin C, too. Take bell peppers, for example. One medium red bell pepper has about 152 mg of vitamin C. Green bell peppers don't have quite as much—just 95 mg per one medium pepper, but that's still about 130 percent of your daily recommended intake. Eat them raw or roasted.

• Getty Images/JBfotoblog

  Chili peppers

  Can you handle the heat? Well then, chili peppers are another great option. There are 64 mg of vitamin C in one tiny pepper, which is nearly the entire daily recommendation. If you don't mind working up a sweat, eat two to get you past that 75 mg mark.

• Getty Images/Sylvie Shirazi Photography

  Kale

  There are a lot of reasons to love this superfood (including the fact that it's Beyoncé's favorite vegetable). It's also packed with vitamin C—1.5 cups of kale has 120 mg of vitamin C. Add that to your list of reasons to eat kale salad on the reg.

• Getty Images/EyeEm

  Broccoli

  Broc till you drop. One cup of cooked broccoli has 101 mg of vitamin C. Use this veggie in stir-frys or pasta.

• Getty Images/julie clancy

  Brussels sprouts

  Not in love with Brussels sprouts? The fact they're high in vitamin C just might change your mind. One sprout has just eight calories and 13 mg of vitamin C. Eat six sprouts to reach your daily goal, and more if you're still hungry after that. Serve them roasted alongside a protein like chicken, or shredded on top of pizza.

• Getty Images/Beth Galton

  Papaya

  One papaya has about 185 mg of vitamin C. However, papayas can tend to be pretty large, so you may not want to eat an entire thing all at once. Try adding it to your next smoothie in for a tart kick.

• Getty Images/Louise Docker Sydney Australia

  Strawberries

  This fruit isn't just the best thing about summer—it's also deliciously high in this antioxidant. Just 10 berries have about 108 mg of vitamin C.

• Getty Images/Carolyn Taylor Photography

  Kohlrabi

  Not familiar with kohlrabi? This vegetable is a funny looking cabbage varietal that's packed with vitamin C, and 1.5 cups of cooked kohlrabi has 133 mg of vitamin C.

• Getty Images/EyeEm

  Pineapple

• Getty Images/James Ross

  Kiwi

  One cup of kiwi (which is about two kiwis) has 164 mg of vitamin C. Bonus: This fruity snack is also low in calories!

Vitamin E is a compound that plays many important roles in your body and provides multiple health benefits. In order to maintain healthy levels of vitamin E, you need to ingest it through food or consume it as an oral supplement. Read on to find out which foods are recommended sources of this essential nutrient, along with other basics to know about vitamin E.

Vitamin E is classified as an antioxidant. This means that vitamin E helps to destroy harmful compounds called free radicals that can build up in your body. Free radicals cause damage to cells through oxidative stress, and they've been linked to aging and health problems such as cancer and heart disease. Getting enough vitamin E on a daily basis may help to combat these conditions by protecting the outer membranes of your cells from free radical damage.

Vitamin E also plays an important role in your immune system and your body's ability to fight infection. At certain doses, vitamin E has been shown to stimulate the function of T cells — a type of cell that responds to pathogens that cause disease. Recent studies have shown that increasing your vitamin E intake may correlate with a stronger immune response and greater resistance to infection.

Vitamin E is present in the following whole foods:

• Wheat germ
• Almonds
• Plant oils (vegetable, sunflower, grapeseed, etc.)
• Sunflower seeds
• Peanut butter
• Spinach
• Broccoli
• Kiwi
• Mango

Daily Dosage Recommendations

As people age, their daily dosage recommendation for vitamin E increases. For these standard recommended daily doses, a healthy balanced diet is usually sufficient for getting the required amount of vitamin E:

Photo Courtesy: skynesher/E+/Getty Images

• Birth to 6 months: 4 milligrams (mg)/day
• 1 to 12 months: 5 mg/day
• 1 to 3 years: 6mg/day
• 4 to 8 years: 7mg/day
• 9 to 13 years: 11mg/day
• 14+ years, including adults and seniors: 15mg/day

A person's age, gender and health conditions can help determine their recommended daily dose of vitamin E. Always consult a healthcare professional before altering your intake of vitamin E from the recommended daily dosage.

Taking Vitamin E Supplements

If it becomes necessary, such as if you become deficient in vitamin E, your doctor may advise you to start taking vitamin E supplements. Vitamin E supplements may come with some minor side effects if you take more than the recommended daily amount or if you combine these supplements with certain medications.

Photo Courtesy: Moyo Studio/E+/Getty Images

For example, vitamin E may increase the risk of bleeding if you take it with anticoagulants (also called blood thinners) like warfarin. Other medications, like chemotherapy drugs and cholesterol-lowering drugs, have potential harmful interactions when combined with vitamin E supplements. Talk to a healthcare professional before introducing daily vitamin E supplements, and be sure to discuss current medications you're taking.

Signs of a Vitamin E Deficiency

Because most people are able to get a sufficient amount of vitamin E through their normal daily diet, vitamin E deficiency is rare and typically related to an underlying health issue. For example, because vitamin E is a fat-soluble nutrient, there's a risk for vitamin E deficiency in people whose bodies are unable to absorb fat properly. Premature infants may also become deficient in vitamin E.

Photo Courtesy: LaylaBird/E+/Getty Images

When vitamin E deficiency does occur, these are some of its common symptoms:

• Muscle weakness
• Unsteady gait
• Nerve pain or numbness
• Impaired vision

Vitamin E deficiency can be detected with a blood test. It typically resolves with minor changes in your diet or the addition of vitamin E supplements. It's important to address any out-of-range vitamin E levels with your doctor. Chronic deficiencies may prevent your immune system from functioning normally.

Farmacy Bright On Vitamin C Mask Review

Farmacy Bright On Vitamin C Mask Review

A nourishing, non-drying clay mask can be challenging to find. Often they can leave the skin feeling spent, pulling out all of the moisture as they dry. Even though they are great for clearing pores and drawing congestion out, the dehydrated feeling they can produce often makes me hesitant to apply them. I'm much more likely to reach for a moisturizing sheet mask than for a clay mask. So, what made me decide to switch up my routine and add the Farmacy Bright On? Allow me to share!

Farmacy the Brand

Echinacea GreenEnvy is Farmacy's signature ingredient, and it appears in most of their products. (It has 300% more antioxidants than regular Echinacea, which is pretty crazy. It's no wonder they patented it!) This is the plant that gave the company its start, and it has a myriad of benefits that promote skin health. It helps even the skin tone, and it combats damage caused by free radicals.

They are proud of the farmed ingredients that they source for their products, hence the name, Farmacy!

Motivated by My Vitamin C Obsession

I absolutely love vitamin C, and it is an essential part of my skincare routine. I'm wild about the visible results I can see after even just a few days of incorporating a vitamin C serum into my product usage. The brightening that is achieved is unlike anything else in skincare! Check out my review of my favorite vitamin C serum here!

Since I'm always down for a vitamin C glow, the Bright On mask sounded intriguing. You don't find many clay masks that do much other than clear your pores!

AHAs to Exfoliate and Super Food Extracts to Nourish

There are several AHAs (lactic, glycolic, citric, malic and tartaric, according to their site), included in the mask to aid in skin exfoliation. This, in turn, helps treat acne, acne scars, and fine lines. Citric acid specifically can help soothe inflamed skin. For these reasons, AHAs are a fantastic addition to any skincare routine.

The mask has extracts from various foods including kale, broccoli, apple, blueberry,  and cucumber. Each of these play their own role in protecting, maintaining, and calming the skin.

Usage

The color change is one of the highlights of using this mask! This is due to vitamin C capsules that burst as you massage the mask onto your face. I found the color change to be quite noticeable, and honestly just plain fun to watch. It is easy to spread over your face, and washing it off isn't difficult either. You simply apply it to the face, leave it on for 5-10 minutes, and rinse! Clay masks aren't for everyday use though, so you'll want to limit your applications to 2-3 times a week.

The mask has a pleasant scent, sort of a cool mint. The last clay mask that I had tried smelled like straight cat poop, so this was a massive relief! No joke, it was so unbearably bad I nearly washed it off just because the smell was so off-putting. I was so glad that this Farmacy one had an easy scent that moved to the background and didn't distract me as I went about my business. You never realize how important that is until you have the smell of a litter box following you around via your face.

Now this, my friends, is where things get awesome. After washing off the mask, my pores are minimized, my skin is bright and smooth, and any redness that I might have had has disappeared. I have a small amount of rosacea on my cheeks, and this mask almost completely banishes it from my face! I don't get that annoyingly tight, dry feeling that can happen after I've used something that has stripped my skin of its moisture.

If you're on the fence about whether or not you want to try this mask out, I'd say go for it! It retails at $38 for a 50ml bottle, but I was super lucky and got mine unopened from the Poshmark app for $13. If you do a little digging you might be able to find a deal somewhere! For me, nearly $40 for a mask still can seem steep, though if you compare it to other much pricier masks I'd say the price is still in the range of average. It does what it says it will do, and that is an important aspect to consider when you are trying to decide upon a purchase. Furthermore, you can't forget the pure fun factor of a color changing mask! Because really, skincare should be a fun, playful experience. If you're grimacing your way through your skincare, you're probably doing it wrong. So kick back, enjoy the process, and let yourself be amazed by the results that you never thought you would see produced by a clay mask.
