Dr Roebuck's Daintree AHA Brightening Mask
Works for
MoisturizingGlycerin, Helianthus annuus seed oil + 10 moreWorks
“Sunflower Seed Oil acts as a strong emollient to enhance damaged or irritated skin barrier, even on acne-prone skin.”
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
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. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, caprylyl glycol.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, helianthus annuus seed oil.

“Dr Roebuck's Daintree AHA Brightening Mask is a natural brightening and exfoliating mask that aids the skin in its natural cell turnover helping to retexturise and brighten dull and pigmented skin to reveal a brighter, smoother and more radiant complexion .”
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
