Pharmacist's advice

This mask is a good choice when the skin needs quick hydration and a refresh: after a sleepless night, summer, travel or before an event. It works best on freshly cleansed skin, right after toner, while the skin is still slightly damp.

Do not let the mask dry on your face. Remove it after 15–20 minutes; the remaining essence in the sachet can also be applied to the neck and décolletage.

For extra freshness and less puffiness, you can keep the sachet in the fridge for a few minutes before use. This is especially pleasant for redness-prone skin.

The mask contains no acids or retinol, so it fits easily into most routines. Still, if you use strong actives in the evening, use the mask on other evenings or in the morning.
