Dr. Dennis Gross Vitamin C Lactic Biocellulose Brightening Treatment Mask

L-Ascorbic Acid : Naturally derived from fruits & vegetables, ascorbic acid is Vitamin C in its purest form. This potent antioxidant protects and repairs skin cells and is essential for the production of new collagen in skin which helps to improve the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and firmness. It also helps to prevent hyperpigmentation, signs of sun aging from surfacing, and helps even skin tone.

Lactic Acid: Derived from beets but also produced naturally by your body, this vegan form of lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid. It enhances product absorption and performance, stimulates cellular renewal, increases skin’s natural moisturization factor (NMF), and helps repair and protect skin’s barrier through surface free radical deactivation.

Niacinamide: Also known as vitamin B3, niacinamide is derived from natural sources such as avocados and mushrooms and is essential to healthy skin function. This vitamin and antioxidant also stimulates ceramides and prevents water loss to strengthen and repair the moisture barrier improving dullness. Additionally, niacinamide helps to refine the appearance of pores while brightening and evening skin tone.
