“The mask's unique Melan-No-More™ system helps to fade the appearance of freckles, hyperpigmentation and spots, while powerful natural brightening ingredients, soothing botanical ingredients such as cucumber extract and moisturising sodium hyaluronate help to promote a healthy and radiant appearance.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, hydroxyethyl urea.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).

“The mask's unique Melan-No-More™ system helps to fade the appearance of freckles, hyperpigmentation and spots, while powerful natural brightening ingredients, soothing botanical ingredients such as cucumber extract and moisturising sodium hyaluronate help to promote a healthy and radiant appearance.”
This product might be able to help reduce hyperpigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains hydroxyethyl urea. The effect, if any, is likely to be small. Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.
The following ingredient (ingredients) in this product might be helpful, but there is no evidence to confirm that it actually works: dimethylmethoxy chromanyl palmitate.
ExfoliationSide benefit · Hydroxyethyl ureaWorks well
This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: hydroxyethyl urea.
Anti-agingSide benefit the brand mentions · Adenosine triphosphate, Aloe barbadensis leaf juice + 1 moreMay help
“Formulated with plant-based collagen it helps to visibly plump the skin and reduce signs of ageing.”
This product contains adenosine triphosphate. This ingredient might be able to help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness, but there is not enough evidence that it actually works.
