“A mask to brighten the skin and refine the pores.Infused with Grapefruit, Vitamin C and Aloe, Grapefruit Vitamin C Boosting Paper Mask effectively hydrates and protects the skin.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": galactoarabinan, 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).

“Restore a luminous complexion with Yes To Grapefruit Vitamin C Glow Boosting Paper Mask ; a skin-brightening sheet mask that works to improve skin tone and texture.”
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.
