Dr Dennis Gross C+Collagen Biocellulose Brightening Treatment Mask
Works for
MoisturizingNiacinamide, Glycerin + 5 moreWorks well
“In just 15 minutes, lacklustre skin will have regained its natural glow and will feel deeply nourished, supple, dewy and plump with moisture.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin.
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 following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: niacinamide
Evens skin toneAscorbic acid, NiacinamideWorks well
“Reignite skin’s luminosity with the Dr Dennis Gross Skincare Skincare C+Collagen Biocellulose Brightening Treatment Mask ; a 100% natural and biodegradable biocellulose mask that helps repair and instantly brighten dull, dry, damaged skin.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: ascorbic acid.
In addition, this product contains niacinamide. This ingredient (ingredients) might help reduce hyperpigmentation, but 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.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Ascorbic acid, Superoxide dismutase + 2 moreWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (ascorbic acid, superoxide dismutase, ubiquinone) that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. By doing so, they can lessen the damage the skin gets from the UV light (sun).
Anti-agingSide benefit the brand mentions · Ascorbic acid, Niacinamide + 1 moreWorks well
“Part of the brands much-loved C+Collagen range, this powerful sheet mask is supercharged with vitamin C and collagen amino acids, along with a whole host of other powerful nutrients like skin barrier-supporting niacinamide and hydrating glycerine which combine to deeply nourish your complexion, brighten, even skin tone and reduce fine lines and wrinkles after just 15 minutes!”
This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains ascorbic acid, niacinamide.
Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.
Anti-blemishNot advertised by the brand · NiacinamideWorks well
This product can help reduce breakouts and clogged pores because it contains the following ingredient: niacinamide. This ingredient is used for treating acne and can have a noticeable effect.
