How To Use

Application: After thoroughly cleansing and toning in the evening, apply a thin, even layer of the masque to the entire face, avoiding the eye and lip areas. The product can also be applied to the neck, chest, and other areas experiencing dryness.

Frequency: Use once to twice weekly as an intensive hydration treatment, or as needed when skin requires additional moisture replenishment.

Timing: Allow the masque to penetrate the skin for 10-15 minutes. During this time, the concentrated ingredients work to infuse moisture into dehydrated areas.

Removal Options: After the treatment period, gently massage any remaining product into the face and leave on overnight for maximum benefit, or rinse with lukewarm water if preferred. No additional moisturiser is required if leaving the product on.

Expert Tips: For intensified hydration benefits, store the masque in the refrigerator and apply chilled for an enhanced cooling, soothing sensation. This treatment works exceptionally well following exfoliation treatments or when skin feels particularly stressed or compromised.

FAQ

Q: How often should I use the Hydrating B5 Masque?
A: Our experts recommend using this intensive treatment once to twice weekly as part of your regular skincare regimen. During periods of particular dehydration stress (such as winter months, post-sun exposure, or after exfoliation treatments), you may increase frequency to two to three times weekly. The masque is gentle enough for regular use without risk of over-hydration.

Q: Can I use this masque if I have oily or acne-prone skin?
A: Absolutely. The Hydrating B5 Masque is formulated with a lightweight, non-comedogenic gel texture that won't clog pores or exacerbate oiliness. Even oily and acne-prone skin can experience dehydration, which can actually trigger increased sebum production. This treatment addresses dehydration without adding heavy oils, making it suitable for all skin types including acne-prone complexions.

Q: Should I rinse the masque off or leave it on overnight?
A: Both application methods are effective. After the initial 10-15 minute treatment period, you can gently massage any remaining product into the skin and leave it on overnight for maximum hydration benefits. Alternatively, you may rinse with lukewarm water if preferred. Our experts often recommend the overnight method for enhanced results, particularly for very dehydrated skin.

Q: When should I apply this masque in my skincare routine?
A: Apply the masque in the evening after cleansing and toning, but before any leave-on treatment serums or moisturisers (if rinsing off). If leaving on overnight, apply as your final step. The masque can be used following exfoliation treatments or vitamin C serums for enhanced hydration benefits.

Q: How long will a 75ml tube last?
A: With recommended use of once to twice weekly, a 75ml tube typically provides approximately 2-3 months of treatment, depending on application area and amount used. A thin layer is sufficient for effective results, making this a cost-effective professional treatment for at-home use.

Q: Can I use this masque on areas other than my face?
A: Yes. Whilst formulated for facial application, the Hydrating B5 Masque is equally effective on other dry areas including the neck, chest, hands, knees, elbows, and feet. Many of our clients use this treatment on their hands and décolletage for comprehensive hydration benefits.

Q: Is this product suitable for sensitive or reactive skin?
A: Yes. The Hydrating B5 Masque is formulated without fragrances, essential oils, or harsh irritants, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. The soothing properties of Vitamin B5 can actually help calm stressed, reactive skin. However, as with all new skincare products, we recommend patch testing before first use, particularly if you have known sensitivities.
