My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit AHA + BHA + PHA retexturizing face mask Colibri Skincare is primarily intended for individuals seeking to improve their skin texture, reduce uneven skin tone, enlarged pores, blemishes, and the first signs of aging. This mask effectively targets dull skin that is prone to blemishes or fine lines. The formula, rich in exfoliating acids, is particularly suitable for combination to oily skin, but can also be used on normal skin in need of radiance, provided the recommended frequency of use is followed.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three key active ingredients structure the effectiveness of this mask:

• AHA acids (lactic acid, glycolic acid) These alpha hydroxy acids promote chemical exfoliation by removing dead cells from the skin's surface, stimulating cell renewal and revealing a brighter, more even complexion.
• Salicylic acid (BHA) This fat-soluble acid penetrates the pores to dissolve excess sebum and limit the formation of blackheads and blemishes. It is known for its keratolytic and anti-inflammatory properties.
• Gluconolactone (PHA) This polyhydroxy acid offers gentler exfoliation while providing moisturizing and antioxidant benefits, ideal for limiting potential irritation from AHAs/BHAs.

The presence of clay (kaolin) and vegetable oils (argan, sunflower) balances the formula by providing softness and nourishment, which limits the risk of dehydration.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this mask in the evening, once or twice a week, to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. I recommend not combining this product with other exfoliating products (retinol, pure vitamin C, other acids) in the same routine to avoid irritation. It is compatible with moisturizing and soothing products after rinsing.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This Colibri Skincare mask stands out thanks to its well-thought-out combination of acids, which effectively smooths the skin's texture and revives its radiance. Its creamy texture and moisturizing agents minimize discomfort. The only downside is that it may cause a slight tingling sensation on sensitive skin. I recommend using strict sun protection the next day. An excellent choice for clearer, more luminous skin.
