 Yuzu Vitamin C Brightening Sleep Mask

Most Helpful Positive Review

Light Citrus Scent, Alas Not Suitable For Sensitive Skin

I was especially looking forward to trying out Saturday Skin Korean skincare brand's Yuzu Vitamin C Sleep Mask. When you first open the sturdy 1.69oz frosted plastic jar, you find a yellowyorange jelly comprised of the following ingredientsWaterAquaEau, Glycerin, Niacinamide, CaprylicCapric Triglyce...ride, Glycereth26, Phenyl Trimethicone, 1,2Hexanediol, Behenyl Alcohol, Polymethylsilsesquioxane, Chlorella Vulgaris Extract, Glucose, Carbomer, Butylene Glycol, Caprylyl Glycol, Fructooligosaccharides, Fructose, Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil, Tromethamine, Ethylhexylglycerin, AcrylatesC1030 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Citrus Junos Peel Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Disodium EDTA, Eclipta Prostrata Extract, Eclipta Prostrata Leaf Extract, Citrus Junos Seed Oil, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Cholesterol, PEG800, Ascorbic Acid, Tocopherol, Polysorbate 20, Ceramide NP, Linoleic Acid, Retinol, Citrus Junos Fruit Oil, Bioflavonoids, shOligopeptide1, shPolypeptide1, shOligopeptide2, shPolypeptide22, shPolypeptide45, shPolypeptide8, shPolypeptide9Highlights include niacinamide B3, ceramides, peptides, vitamin E, vitamin C ascorbic acid, vitamin A retinol, and the productfocus ingredient yuzu fruit and seed oils. Yuzu is supposed to have 3x more vitamin c than a lemon and is loaded with other antioxidants. These fight free radicals and are supposed to help support the skin barrier.This mask is meant to be used at the very end of your evening skincare routine, after your regular hydrating cream. Just apply a suitable, even layer around the skin. I would suggest avoiding getting this too close to the delicate skin around the eyes and lips. This is meant to be left on overnight. Hence the name sleep mask.Suggested use 35x a week, but I caution anyone new to using this, patch test first to rule out any adverse effects. And, introduce this into your routine slowly. Try 1x a week to start and build up once you are sure you tolerate the sleep mask. Most sleep masks target hydration. While the Saturday Skin one does as well, it also imparts a high dose of vitamin C and A both very beneficial and intense ingredients for brightening and evening out skin texture exfoliation.Unfortunately, my skin is far too sensitive to tolerate the use of this sleep mask. Even with copious amounts of my hydrating cream between the surskin of my skin and this, it was still a hint irritating. It is a shame because the gel texture and light citrus scent in the Saturday Skin Yuzu Sleeping Mask are really enjoyly. I guess there is just a hint too much going on in this little jar of jelly between the vitamin c and a.For user reference, I have mature over 40, combination, acne and congestion prone, sensitive, fair skin.
