Primary Functions:

• Brightening and Even Tone: The mask visibly reduces discoloration, including dark spots and blemishes, and evens out skin tone, providing a radiant, luminous effect.
• Hydration and Elasticity: It delivers deep hydration, with clinical studies cited by Medicube showing significant improvement in surface hydration and overall skin elasticity after one use.
• Soothing and Calming: Ingredients like turmeric root extract provide anti-inflammatory and soothing properties, which can calm irritated or stressed skin. 

Key Ingredients and Their Role:

• Kojic Acid: A primary brightening agent that inhibits tyrosinase activity, which helps reduce the formation of melanin and thus the appearance of dark spots and pigmentation.
• Turmeric Root Extract: Offers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits, helping to calm the skin and enhance a natural glow.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Works synergistically with Kojic Acid and Turmeric to further brighten the complexion, improve skin texture, and strengthen the skin barrier.
• Hydrolyzed Collagen: Supports skin elasticity, firmness, and moisture retention, contributing to a plumper look.
• Ceramide NP: Reinforces the skin barrier to lock in hydration and protect against external stressors.
• Retinol: Stimulates cell renewal and improves texture, providing anti-aging benefits. 

• Apply the mask after cleansing and toning.
• Leave on for 1–3 hours (or overnight for best results) until it turns transparent.
• Remove the mask and pat any remaining essence into the skin
