My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

The face mask Super Radiance Resurfacing Facial from Charlotte Tilbury is primarily intended for skin in need of radiance, cell renewal, and correction of uneven skin tone. Its formula targets signs of skin aging (wrinkles, loss of radiance), enlarged pores, and minor imperfections. My expert opinion: the brand offers an intensive treatment that is a cross between a gentle peel and a moisturizing mask, suitable for dull, tired skin or skin prone to uneven texture.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key active ingredients structure the effectiveness of this mask:

• Glycolic acid (AHA) This exfoliating acid promotes cell renewal by removing dead cells from the skin's surface. It stimulates collagen production and refines skin texture, improving radiance and reducing fine lines.
• Salicylic acid (BHA) It penetrates the pores to dissolve excess sebum and prevent blemishes. Its keratolytic action complements that of glycolic acid, making the formula effective on clogged pores and irregularities.
• Hyaluronic acid : This benchmark moisturizing active ingredient captures and retains water in the epidermis, counteracting the drying potential of exfoliating acids and ensuring skin comfort and suppleness.

The presence of plant extracts (aloe vera, avocado oil, and camellia oil) provides a soothing and nourishing effect, balancing the exfoliating action.

Tips and Application Ritual

I recommend applying this mask in the evening, once or twice a week, to clean, dry skin. Leave on for as long as your skin can tolerate (usually 10 to 20 minutes), then rinse thoroughly. It is compatible with moisturizing or soothing skincare products, but I do not recommend using it immediately after other exfoliants (retinol, pure vitamin C, other AHAs/BHAs) to avoid irritation.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This mask stands out for its balance between effective exfoliation and respect for the skin barrier. Its strengths lie in the synergy of acids and moisturizing active ingredients. One caveat: the presence of fragrance and allergens (limonene, linalool) may not be suitable for very sensitive skin. In conclusion, this is an effective treatment for reviving radiance, to be carefully incorporated into a suitable routine.
