How To Use

Application: Use approximately once a week or bi-weekly as a treatment scrub. Moisten face, back, décolleté, and neck with water. Apply a dime-sized amount (thin, even layer) to dampened skin, gently rubbing in circular motions to activate the microbeads.

Frequency: Once weekly for optimal results, or bi-weekly for more sensitive skin types. Can be adjusted based on individual skin tolerance and aesthetic practitioner guidance.

Timing: Leave masque on for up to 5 minutes to allow botanical enzymes to function effectively. A gentle warming sensation may occur due to increased micro-circulation.

Removal: Rinse thoroughly with cool water and immediately pat dry.

Expert Tips: Can be used in association with Hydra-Intensive Cooling Masque as a bi-weekly resurfacing and rejuvenating protocol at home. For best results, use as guided by aesthetic practitioner or as part of the iS Clinical skin regimes. Temporary post-treatment redness may occur for up to 30 minutes due to increased circulation.

FAQ

Q: How often should I use the Tri-Active Exfoliating Masque?
A: We recommend using this treatment masque approximately once a week for most skin types. Those with more resilient skin may benefit from bi-weekly application, whilst sensitive skin types should start with once fortnightly and adjust based on tolerance. For personalised guidance, speak to our skincare experts.

Q: Can I use this masque if I have sensitive or rosacea-prone skin?
A: Whilst this masque is formulated to be effective yet gentle, the triple-action exfoliation may be too active for highly sensitive or rosacea-prone skin. We recommend consulting with our experts before use, starting with a patch test, and potentially reducing frequency to once fortnightly if you proceed.

Q: What is the warming sensation I feel during application?
A: The gentle warming sensation is due to increased micro-circulation as the active ingredients work. This is a normal response and typically indicates the formula is functioning effectively. The sensation should be comfortable; if it becomes uncomfortable or causes burning, rinse immediately.

Q: Are the microbeads in this masque environmentally safe?
A: Yes, the microbeads are composed of cellulose, a natural component found in plant cell walls. These eco-friendly, biodegradable particles are environmentally safe and will not harm aquatic ecosystems, unlike synthetic plastic microbeads.

Q: Can I use this masque with other active ingredients in my routine?
A: This masque contains active exfoliating ingredients including Salicylic Acid and botanical enzymes. Allow 24-48 hours between using this treatment and other active products such as retinoids, strong acids, or vitamin C to avoid over-exfoliation. Our experts can help you integrate this into your existing regime safely.

Q: When can I expect to see results?
A: Many users notice immediate smoothing and brightening effects after the first application. For optimal results addressing texture, pore appearance, and signs of ageing, consistent weekly use over 4-6 weeks is recommended. Results will continue to improve with regular use as part of a comprehensive skincare regime.

Q: Can I pair this masque with other iS Clinical products?
A: Absolutely. This masque works beautifully as part of a bi-weekly resurfacing protocol when followed by the Hydra-Intensive Cooling Masque. Our experts recommend integrating it into your existing iS Clinical regime, typically using it after cleansing and before applying serums and moisturisers.
