How To Use

Before First Use: Open the jar and use the enclosed spatula to thoroughly stir the product, as it has a solid consistency. This creates a softer, more workable texture for future applications.

Application: Apply a small amount to clean fingertips and warm the product between your hands to soften. Massage a thin, even layer onto clean, damp skin using gentle circular motions, avoiding the delicate eye area. The exfoliating crystals will gently buff away dead skin cells as you massage.

Frequency: Use 2-3 times per week for optimal results. Sensitive skin types may wish to start with once weekly and gradually increase frequency as tolerated.

Timing: Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes to allow the 30% vitamin C to infuse into the skin. For sensitive skin, reduce application time to 5-10 minutes initially.

Removal: Wipe away the mask with a soft, damp cloth, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Gently pat skin dry.

Post-Treatment: Follow with your regular skincare routine. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF during daytime use, as vitamin C can increase sun sensitivity.

Expert Tips: For enhanced results, incorporate this treatment into your weekly skincare routine alongside other Professional-C products. The slight tingling sensation you may experience is normal and diminishes with continued use. Speak to our experts for personalised application guidance tailored to your skin's needs.

FAQ

Q: How often should I use the Professional-C Microdermabrasion Polish + Mask?
A: For optimal results, use 2-3 times per week. If you have sensitive skin, start with once weekly and gradually increase frequency as your skin builds tolerance. Consistent use over time delivers the most dramatic improvements in skin texture, tone, and radiance.

Q: Can I use this product if I'm already using retinol or other active ingredients?
A: Exercise caution when combining this treatment with other active ingredients. We recommend avoiding concurrent use with Tretinoin or prescription retinoids. If using over-the-counter retinol, use this mask on alternate days and monitor your skin's response. Speak to our experts for personalised guidance on incorporating this treatment into your existing routine without causing irritation.

Q: Why does the product have a solid consistency, and how do I use it?
A: The thick, solid consistency is intentional and helps preserve the high concentration of vitamin C. Before first use, stir the product thoroughly with the enclosed spatula to create a softer texture. For each application, warm a small amount between your fingers – this softens the formula for comfortable, even application.

Q: Is the tingling sensation normal?
A: Yes, a slight tingling sensation is completely normal and indicates the high concentration of vitamin C is actively working. This sensation typically diminishes with continued use as your skin acclimates to the formula. However, if you experience severe tingling, burning, or persistent irritation, reduce application time or frequency, and consult our skincare experts.

Q: When will I see results?
A: Many users notice an immediate improvement in skin luminosity and smoothness after just one use – in fact, clinical studies show 88% of participants experienced a more radiant glow after their first treatment. For significant improvements in fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and overall skin texture, consistent use over 4-8 weeks is recommended. Long-term benefits, including enhanced collagen production and sustained anti-ageing effects, develop with regular use over several months.

Q: Can I use this product during the day?
A: Whilst you can use this mask at any time of day, many users prefer evening application. Regardless of when you use it, always follow with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during the day, as vitamin C and exfoliation can increase sun sensitivity. Never skip sun protection when using this treatment.

Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
A: The product can be used on sensitive skin with appropriate precautions. Start with a shorter application time (5-10 minutes instead of 10-15), use once weekly initially, and always perform a patch test before first use. If you have reactive or very sensitive skin, consult our experts for personalised recommendations on introducing this professional-grade treatment into your routine.
