APTO Skincare Turmeric Mask with Azelaic Acid - 2 fl oz

A: Curcumin is an ingredient in Turmeric. So saying the main ingredient is Turmeric is technically incorrect.

A: Hello! This formula includes Curcumin and Curcuma Longa root extract (the scientific name for Turmeric root) - amplifying the Turmeric power for maximum benefits! Curcumin is the most important curcuminoid, a group of naturally occurring antioxidants in Turmeric root. It boasts powerful revitalizing properties that brighten and energize the skin. Curcumin is also what gives Turmeric root its golden-yellow color! Turmeric root contains several components beyond Curcumin such as additional antioxidants and fatty acids, which provide added soothing, brightening, and balancing benefits.

A: Hello, thank you for contacting us! We definitely suggest using a moisturizer after applying the Turmeric Mask. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask - we're here to help!

A: Hi, thank you for reaching out! You can apply our mask after cleansing on damped or dry skin. Bonus tip: You can also apply it on top of a moisturizer. Please let us know if there are any further questions!

A: For the best results we recommend using 2-3 times per week depending on skin sensitivity.

A: Hi Sarah! The burning sensation you felt after applying the mask following exfoliation could indicate that your skin is sensitive to the combination of the mask and exfoliation. It's important to note that exfoliation can sometimes temporarily increase skin sensitivity, making it more prone to irritation. If you have not experienced any issues with the product during a patch test or when applied separately, it suggests that your skin might be reacting to the combination of the mask and exfoliation. To ensure the best results and minimize the risk of sensitivity, we would recommend using the mask on non-exfoliated skin or performing a gentle cleanse before applying the mask.

A: Hi Chloe, thank you for reaching out! This is a purifying, brightening and calming mask. We recommend using it for 10-15 mins at any time of the day as a face mask or spot treatment to reduce redness or soothe an area.

A: Hi Ashley! We recommend applying it on clean skin, allowing it to sink in for around 10 minutes without drying too much.

A: Yes, the Turmeric Mask can be used on any part of the body. We recommend doing a patch test first for sensitive areas such as the chest. Our mask is a multitasking product that works to even skin tone, making the skin more radiant all over!

A: Hi Sophia! We recommend using it 2-3 times a week. It's also possible to apply as a spot treatment for specific areas that need brightening or are inflammed.

A: Hi! The percentage of Azelaic Acid is 1.5% which works really well to remove dead skin cells while preventing breakouts. This is not a clay mask - it's a thin paste-like texture that is hydrating, nourishing and brightening, allowing the skin to breathe during the recommended 10-minute application.
