FAQ

The fast answers people actually need

Are these eye masks good for sensitive skin?

While they contain beneficial ingredients, the presence of retinol and fragrance means they might not be suitable for very sensitive skin. It's recommended to patch test first or consult with a dermatologist if you have concerns.

How often should I use these eye masks?

The product recommends using them as needed, with two to three times per week being ideal for addressing visible wrinkles and dryness.

Can I use these masks if I'm already using a retinol serum?

If you are already using a retinol serum daily, adding these masks might be too much retinol for your skin and could lead to irritation. Consider alternating or using these masks on nights you don't use your regular retinol.
