Routine fit
Apply this mask after your regular serum and before your moisturizer. Given the high concentration of retinol, it's best to use this mask once or twice a week, or as needed for an extra boost. Always follow with sunscreen the next morning.
Why it works
The useful question is not whether this product is good in a vacuum. It is whether it makes your routine easier to run or just adds one more bottle with a familiar ingredient on it.

FAQ
This mask is formulated for normal and dry skin types. Those with very sensitive or oily skin may want to patch test first or use with caution due to the retinol content.
Due to the high concentration of retinol, it's recommended to use this mask once or twice a week as an intensive treatment. Avoid using it daily.
While the mask can be used day or night, retinol makes skin more sensitive to the sun. If using in the morning, it's crucial to apply a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher afterward.
