Mary & May Niacinamide Niacinamide Vitamin C Brightening Mask (30EA)

Description

This mask pack focuses on the synergistic brightening power of two key ingredients:

• Niacinamide (2%): A potent form of Vitamin B3, Niacinamide works by inhibiting the transfer of melanin (the pigment responsible for dark spots) to the surface of the skin. This helps to reduce existing hyperpigmentation, such as dark spots and blemishes, and prevents new ones from forming, leading to a clearer and more even skin tone. It also helps to balance sebum activity, which can contribute to reducing skin troubles and minimizing the appearance of pores.
• Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C – 1,000 ppm): A stable derivative of Vitamin C, this ingredient is known for its antioxidant properties and its ability to suppress melanin production. It helps to reduce oxidized melanin, making dull skin appear brighter and more luminous. Vitamin C is also beneficial for overall skin health and can help improve texture.

In addition to these key brightening agents, the mask essence is enriched with:

• Hyaluronic Acid (various molecular weights): An excellent humectant that can hold up to 1000 times its weight in water. The inclusion of different molecular weights ensures that moisture penetrates various layers of the skin, providing deep and effective hydration. This helps to keep the skin plump, soft, and moist, counteracting any potential dryness from active ingredients.
• Allantoin: A soothing ingredient that helps to calm irritated skin and promote healing.
• Glycerin and Dipropylene Glycol: Humectants that help maintain skin hydration and ensure the essence is well-absorbed.

The sheet masks themselves are made from a hypoallergenic, natural nude sheet fabric that adheres closely to the skin, allowing for efficient delivery of the essence. Mary & May emphasizes a “clean beauty” philosophy, meaning the product is typically formulated with EWG green grade ingredients (excluding fragrance) and is free from 16 common harmful ingredients (like parabens, artificial colors/fragrances, alcohol, mineral oil, etc.). It has completed skin irritation tests, making it suitable for daily use even for sensitive skin. The large-capacity format (30 sheets in one container with a mini tweezer) is designed for convenience, cost-effectiveness, and environmental consciousness by reducing individual packaging waste.

Regular use of this mask aims to:

• Visibly brighten and clarify dull and darkened skin.
• Fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and blemishes.
• Improve overall skin tone and radiance.
• Provide intense and long-lasting hydration, leaving skin soft and plump.
• Balance sebum activity and reduce minor skin troubles.

How to Use:

This mask is designed for daily use as part of your skincare routine.

1. Cleanse: After cleansing your face, ensure your skin is clean.
2. Tone (Optional but Recommended): Gently sweep a toner over your face to prepare your skin for better absorption of the mask’s essence.
3. Open & Retrieve: Open the lid of the mask pack, open the protective cap, and use the mini tweezer provided to carefully take out one sheet mask.
4. Apply Mask: Carefully unfold the sheet mask and apply it evenly over your face, aligning the cutouts for your eyes, nose, and mouth. Smooth it out to ensure good contact with your skin.
5. Relax & Absorb: Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes to allow the essence to fully absorb into your skin.
6. Remove & Massage: Remove the sheet mask. Gently pat or massage any remaining essence into your skin until it is fully absorbed. Avoid rinsing your face afterwards.
7. Follow Up: Continue with your usual serum, eye cream, and moisturizer.
