Pipette Overnight Brightening Mask
Works for
ExfoliationLactic acidWorks well
“This gentle yet effective exfoliating mask works while you sleep to address discoloration, combat dullness, and boost skin’s natural exfoliation process.”
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: lactic acid.
Evens skin toneLactic acidWorks well
“This gentle yet effective exfoliating mask works while you sleep to address discoloration, combat dullness, and boost skin’s natural exfoliation process.”
This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: lactic acid
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.
MoisturizingLactic acid, Squalane + 4 moreWorks
“Wake up to soft, moisturized skin and a visibly brighter, more luminous complexion.”
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, lactic acid.
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: butyrospermum parkii butter, caprylic/capric triglyceride.
Anti-oxidationNot advertised by the brand · Astaxanthin, Butyrospermum parkii butterWorks well
This product contains antioxidants (astaxanthin) 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-agingNot advertised by the brand · Lactic acid, Astaxanthin + 1 moreMay help
This product contains astaxanthin, lactic acid. These ingredients 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.

Effective product with nice packaging, but the addition of essential oils in tandem with the high percentages of acids was too irritating for my sensitive skin.
