“Give your skin a healthy-looking glow with Yes To Grapefruit Vitamin C Boosting Mud Mask , a single use face mask that nourishes and revitalises skin.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
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).

“An exfoliating blend of Grapefruit, Vitamin C and Pink Kaolin Clay, this mask helps to minimise the appearance of pores and brighten up dull skin.”
This product contains ingredients (glycyrrhiza glabra root extract) that could help reduce hyperpigmentation (for example, post-acne marks or age spots) in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
ExfoliationNo ingredient credited for this claimNot delivered
“An exfoliating blend of Grapefruit, Vitamin C and Pink Kaolin Clay, this mask helps to minimise the appearance of pores and brighten up dull skin.”
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.
