Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use collagen and kojic acid together in the same routine?
Yes. You can alternate these masks on different nights to address both skin sagging and hyperpigmentation. This rotational method ensures the skin barrier remains healthy while receiving high concentrations of active ingredients for comprehensive rejuvenation.
Which mask is better for fading acne scars?
The Kojic Acid Turmeric Night Wrapping Mask is specifically formulated to target post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Its brightening agents help fade the dark marks left behind by breakouts more effectively than a standard collagen mask which focuses primarily on texture and volume.
How long does it take to see results from these ingredients?
Collagen masks often provide an immediate plumping effect due to intense overnight hydration. Kojic acid requires consistent use over four to six weeks to visibly lighten dark spots as it works in tandem with the natural skin cell turnover cycle.
