hautsache

Gesichtsmaske Brightening

The brightening counterpart to hautsache's Calming biocellulose mask, and the more interesting list of the two: niacinamide fourth, tranexamic acid eighth and azelaic acid eleventh, which is an unusual trio to find on a sheet at all. Behind them sits a long depigmenting botanical block - peony, liquorice, Fo-Ti, mulberry bark, Sophora, black cohosh, Angelica gigas, Baikal skullcap. Fragrance-free.
