The brightening face mask contains:

The facial mask consists of a water and oil phase, which are combined with a plant-based olive emulsifier and supplemented with active ingredients targeting specific issues.

The key active ingredients are clinically tested PinoluminTM, HerbaGlow®NRG, Infraguard, and PrebiulinAga.

PinoluminTM is a concentrated extract from the bark of the Swiss pine, which soothes sensitive skin, reduces local redness, and alleviates color irregularities caused by inflammation, leading to a significant improvement in the overall homogeneity of skin tone. Clinical studies have shown that it can effectively suppress neuroinflammation (inhibits the activation of TRPV1 receptors), has anti-inflammatory effects (inhibits the release of prostaglandins and interleukins = mediators of inflammation), and eliminates collagen degradation after skin exposure to UVA radiation (inhibits the release of MMP-1).

It also visibly reduces skin redness - results showed that after 28 days, redness decreased by 25% and after 56 days by 40%. Lightness (L*) and redness (a*) of the skin were determined at selected sites using a chromameter. The results showed that PinoluminTM significantly reduces the visibility of age/pigment spots, with a 2.8% increase in skin brightness after 56 days and a 10.5% reduction in skin redness after 56 days (in 95%, respectively). 77% of volunteers). PinoluminTM balances skin tone by correcting local redness and also reduces age/pigment spots, leading to a more even skin tone.

HerbaGlow®NRG - extracts of caper spurge, rhodiola rosea, and black mulberry. Increases the number of mitochondria, enhances the supply of energy reserves to the cell, and also improves the efficiency of energy reserve formation. In vivo clinical studies have also demonstrated that after 4 weeks of regular application twice daily, there is an improvement in skin texture, unification of its tone, and overall brightening of the skin.

The following parameters were tested: skin roughness on the forehead and cheeks (measured by Primos 3D / Visioscan), skin texture regularity and tone unification, skin imperfections (visible spots) (measured by VISIA-CR), skin brightness (measured by Glossimeter), overall healthy and youthful appearance, skin color (measured by Hue chromameter, VISIA-CR).

Patients also completed a questionnaire before and after 4 weeks of application twice a day.

Infraguard - extracts from Caesalpinia - Tara fruits and sunflower sprouts, has antioxidant properties comparable to vitamin C, provides protection to mitochondrial DNA and collagen from degradation due to sun and blue light exposure, thus preventing photoaging of the skin. It also protects against aging and inflammation caused by air pollution particles and strengthens the skin's defenses - the "antipollution" effect.

The clinical study tested the elasticity and protection against UV and IR radiation on the forearm skin exposed to excessive sunlight for 2-6 weeks during a summer vacation. Before and after the vacation, the volunteers' skin firmness, elasticity, TEWL (the skin's ability to retain hydration), and tissue density were measured using a reviscometer (DermaScan® C device). The results show that the Infraguard cream not only improved skin protection but also enhanced its quality compared to baseline conditions.

Another clinical study also demonstrated the ability to protect cells (keratinocytes and fibroblasts) from so-called. blue light - light from screens, televisions, tablets, mobile phones... Immediately after irradiating the cells for 120 minutes, the amount of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the cell was measured using a fluorogenic sensor. Infraguard helps prevent the formation of ROS after irradiation even at tested concentrations of 0.01-0.1%.

PrebiulinAga prebiotic complex, consisting of chicory and agave inulin , supports the formation of healthy microbial flora in the skin after washing, thereby promoting the improvement of its defense capabilities. It has been proven to support the formation of a microbiological film on our skin and prevent the occurrence of further infections. This natural prebiotic is composed of inulin derived from chicory root and gluco-oligosaccharides obtained through the enzymatic synthesis of natural sugars. Supports the growth of protective microorganisms, which help restore the microbial layer while pathogenic bacteria are eliminated, i.e. Their ratio is naturally balanced, and this helps prevent inflammatory reactions. Clinical studies show that it supports skin hydration (compared to a 0.1% concentration of hyaluronic acid, this complex hydrates faster and longer).

Aqueous phase:

Water is used in cosmetics as a carrier of active ingredients and constitutes the largest portion of the entire product. However, mostly only distilled or purified water is used. As is customary with our brand's products, we use only floral and herbal hydrosols containing the bioactive substances of the plants from which they are distilled. The water component of our products is therefore an active ingredient in itself with beneficial effects for our skin.

The base of the mask consists of organic floral waters of Lavender and Damask Rose, which tone the skin, restore its natural pH, provide nutrients, and enhance the effectiveness of other treatments.

Organic Damask Rose Flower Water maintains skin pH, hydrates it, stimulates regenerative processes, and has anti-inflammatory effects. Refreshes, soothes redness and allergic reactions of the skin.

Organic Lavender Flower Water tones the skin, restores its natural pH, provides nutrients, and enhances the effectiveness of subsequent treatments. This organic floral water has antiseptic and regenerative properties and is an excellent tonic suitable for all skin types. Cleanses, refreshes, and softens the skin, helps fight wrinkles, soothes redness, sunburn, itching, or other irritations.

Oil Phase:

Oil derivatives, commonly used in cosmetics, have a single task: to prevent transepidermal water loss. They contain no bioactive components and have zero beneficial substances for the skin. We have replaced this part of the product with cold-pressed vegetable oils containing essential fatty acids, which have truly beneficial effects on our skin. Therefore, the high oil content is extremely important to us. To support Slovak production, we have chosen high-quality virgin plant oils from Slovakia as the base oils - poppy seed and sunflower, which we have complemented with high-quality organic oils to mutually enhance their effects. Oils nourish and protect the skin from transepidermal water loss, thereby supporting the maintenance of the skin's natural hydration.

Poppy Seed Oil - leaves the skin soft, supple, and smooth, and supports its regeneration, ideal for very dry and cracked skin, eczema, and skin inflammations.

Moringa oil - the antioxidants and cytokinins (plant hormones that support cell renewal) contained in this oil help prevent skin tissue damage from free radicals and promote skin regeneration. The oil is suitable for dry and irritated skin.

Strawberry Oil - an excellent choice for aging, very dry, or damaged or sensitive skin, it is rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids, soothes and softens the skin, has anti-inflammatory effects, and helps reduce damage caused by UV radiation.

Sunflower oil - is high in oleic acid, vitamin E, antioxidants, or linoleic acid, which enhances cell renewal, protects the skin from free radicals and external environmental influences such as UV radiation or pollution.

Other active ingredients:

Bromelain is an enzyme from pineapple that is also used to treat inflammation and has exfoliating properties, which is beneficial in removing pigment spots. Effectively removes dead skin cells and promotes the formation of new ones, revitalizing and brightening the skin.

Turmeric gives the skin a healthy glow, helps fight aging: curcumin contained in turmeric powder is known for its inhibitory effect on elastase activity (an enzyme responsible for signs of skin aging and wrinkle formation). It is rich in antioxidants: it fights against the oxidation of lipids in the membranes of our cells. Thanks to its curcumin content, it has soothing effects.

Soy lecithin, which is non-genetically modified, has emollient properties, softens the skin, prevents dehydration, and gives our creams a silky texture. The lipids that make up lecithin are very similar to the lipids found in the protective film that our skin naturally produces, which is why it is suitable for very sensitive skin.

Vitamin E supports skin healing, improves its elasticity, and thanks to its antioxidant effects, protects the skin from the negative impact of free radicals from the external environment.

Usage: Apply a thin layer of the mask to cleansed skin and leave it on for about 15-20 minutes. Rinse it with lukewarm water and continue treatment with products according to skin type. Use 2-3 times a week. Apply exclusively with a spatula or silicone brush from the Solution by Kvitok® collection, which will evenly spread the mask over the entire treated area of the skin. Do not apply it with fingers.

Our tip: For comprehensive care and to maximize the effectiveness of clinically tested active ingredients, use in combination with other products from the Solution by Kvitok® collection according to your skin type and condition.

We would like to inform you that despite regular updates of product information from suppliers, the list of used ingredients may vary.

Storage:

It is best to store natural cosmetics in a cooler and dry place.

Do not expose it to direct sunlight or frost. Sunlight can degrade it or shorten its expiration date. At the same time, when using cosmetics, follow hygiene recommendations, such as using a cosmetic spatula to scoop products from jars, always closing products after use, and keeping the edges of bottles clean. Keep out of reach of children.

Notice:

For external use only.

However, do not use even natural cosmetics on open wounds. In case of eye contact, rinse for at least 15 minutes with lukewarm water from the inner corner to the outer corner. In case you wear contact lenses, remove them before rinsing. If irritation occurs, seek medical advice. Before the first use, it is recommended to perform the so-called patch test, i.e. apply and test the cosmetic product for its tolerance on a small area of the skin, preferably on the wrist, and wait 24 hours. This method can prevent the onset of allergic reactions and hypersensitivity to the given product. If an allergic reaction occurs after application, wash the skin surface with lukewarm water. Stop using the product immediately. If the allergic reaction persists for an extended period, seek medical assistance.
