Major Fade Flash Mask.

"This really helps to heal up my hyperpigmentation from acne and inflammatory events faster, and it's giving my skin a much more refreshed quality and a smoother texture. I've used the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask for about two years now, and I really love it, I think it's great, but I just think it is very very expensive."

"Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask, let me tell you I did not want to like this product. The ingredients is what really drew me in. I was like this is for sure made by a dermatologist because they're really focusing in on some really key brightening active ingredients: glycolic acid, lactic acid, and tranexamic acid. Glycolic and lactic are AHAs so they work on the top surface of your skin to really resurface your skin in a way right. They exfoliate the dead skin cells on top so they smooth out your skin but they also work to brighten the skin. They can work on hyperpigmentation. Lactic acid is actually really good for your skin barrier. It can increase skin hydration over time. Tranexamic acid is not an exfoliating acid but it is a brightening ingredient and it can work on stubborn hyperpigmentation, sunspots, melasma."

"Let's talk about the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask. I really do credit this product as the product that made me fall in love slowly but surely with AHAs, particularly with glycolic acid, because that's really the cornerstone of this wash off mask. It's 15% glycolic acid, and that is quite a good amount. Glycolic acid is a fairly small molecule that is part of the AHA family, and that means it gets into the skin, penetrates deeper and penetrates into the skin faster, making it work really effectively for the skin, and that means it actually exfoliates your skin very, very quickly."

"I want to talk about the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask. This mask actually really helped me to love AHA. This uses 15% glycolic acid, which is a lot of AHA. Glycolic acid helps to chemically exfoliate the top surface of the skin, helps to shed away the dead skin cells. It can help with skin tone, texture. With long-term and consistent use, it can actually help with collagen production in the skin as well. It kind of helps to thicken up the skin, make it more firm, more youthful, more supple, and just rejuvenates the skin. This mask is focused on brightening. It also includes tranexamic acid, and we also have a little bit more AHA content here, 3% lactic acid, which not only does the chemical exfoliating process, but it also helps your skin retain hydration as well. So this is a very potent mask. I would categorize this like an AHA peel, like an at home peel type of product. The way that I like to use this is I like to use this once a week, and this has actually made it into my weekly rotation of skincare. I use this once a week, and I have for going on two years now."

"Number one, Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask. This retails $48 for 50ml of product. I've really been enjoying adding this into my routine. This is a potent AHA mask, but unlike The Ordinary 30% AHA mask, I feel like this has been formulated in a really smart way that helps to sidestep some of the irritation. I also just think it's a more sophisticated formula. Instead of just throwing a bunch of AHA at your face, a bunch of glycolic acid, this is matching up the glycolic acid with the lactic acid and then adding in tranexamic acid, which is a brightening ingredient, it's not an exfoliating acid. So it really does amp up the benefits of helping to target dark spots on the face and really helping to target brightening up the complexion, along with helping with texture and smoothness of the skin. It's just a more sophisticated take. Of course it's coming with a much higher price tag, I wish it didn't cost as much, but I do think it's worth it. I've seen some really good benefits using this, it really does brighten up hyperpigmentation, the dark marks that you get after inflammation on your skin. If you suffer with melasma, if you suffer with sun damage, I would really look at this product if you can afford it. I think it is a little gentler on the skin, but I think it's just as potent."

"I told you that I'm a fan of this line and it's really been helping my skin, and this is a really nice one to use once or twice a week. I personally just use it once a week, and it really does give you that nice perk up to your skin. Not only does it help to brighten your skin, but the ingredients will help with hyperpigmentation from acne, and they will also help for melasma, sun damage, and uneven or dull looking skin tone. It will really help with a lot of different concerns. What I like about this is not only does it brighten your skin, but because it does contain 15% glycolic acid, it exfoliates at the top surface of your skin, which actually makes your skin a lot more smooth and a lot more radiant. Your makeup's going to apply a little bit better when you do an AHA, so it helps with textural irregularities which are kind of secondary things that happen when you have acne prone skin. Sometimes your pores do look a lot larger, sometimes you have a lot of texture on your skin because of the congestion, so this will help with the overall appearance of the skin and help to bring out that inner glow, even if you have hyperpigmentation on your skin. You can still have glowy skin."

"I've been obsessed with the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask for about a year now. I absolutely love this. It uses 15% glycolic acid, now glycolic acid is probably the most potent AHA acid out there, one of the best known, and it shows really good results on the skin. 15% is quite a lot, but they actually bump up the AHA in this mask by including an additional 3% of lactic acid. Lactic acid is also an AHA, but it's generally considered to be more gentle, better tolerated by sensitive skin folks, but it still shows very good results on the skin, so we're getting two AHAs here working really hard for your skin. Then this mask also contains tranexamic acid, which is a brightening active, not an AHA chemical exfoliant, but it's great for helping to address hyperpigmentation and unevenness on the skin. So we're getting that AHA exfoliation with this mask quite a bit, but then an additional dose of brightening on top of that. I've been incorporating this mask into my weekly skincare routine for about a year now, and I absolutely love the results of this. I do have sensitive skin, it can get quite dry and sensitive in the winter, and I've had no issues."

"This mask is from Dr. Idriss, it's the Major Fade Flash Mask and I absolutely love this because it's 15% glycolic acid and 3% lactic acid, so two very good AHA chemical exfoliants, and then there's also some tranexamic acid in this mask too which is a great brightening ingredient that targets pigmentation on the skin. I use the AHA once a week. I do have fairly sensitive skin and I have found that using high percentage AHA has given me problems in the past, so I'm just very cautious with this mask, but quite honestly my skin tolerates this super well at one time a week and I'm getting really good results with it. I don't feel like I have to blast my skin with it more times a week. This helps with skin cell turnover and that's such an important component to even-toned complexion. When you're consistent with your products you will start to see that type of result. Your skin's not going to look as dull and as uneven, especially with AHA. It's the perfect exfoliant for that."

"The AHA is really kind of helping to just kind of keep things under control. I've definitely noticed smoother skin, softer skin, brighter skin. It just really brings a clarity to the skin that was just like that kind of missing thing, you know, that thing I was yearning for and didn't know how to quite get it, and I feel like this mask has given that to me. So I am really impressed because I've had an uneasy relationship with glycolic acid and lactic acid and AHAs in general. I don't usually talk about those types of products because they don't usually work for me, they don't usually agree with my skin. I usually get a lot of irritation. But it's been working the way I've worked it into my schedule. It's working for me, it's working for my skin. I think the formulation is just smart. The tranexamic acid is just the cherry on top that's really bringing that clarity to the skin. I will probably take a break in high summer just because of the photosensitizing properties of AHA."

"I'm a major fan of the Major Fade Flash Mask from Dr. Idriss. I've been using this now for going on my second year. I do try to build this into my routine once a week. I do sometimes put it to the side in the winter just because winter has its own challenges with sensitive skin and dryness, but I do find myself recommitting to this exfoliation when it's spring. This mask uses 15% glycolic acid and 3% lactic acid, both AHAs that are designed to really exfoliate the top surface of your skin. Not only do they help get all those dead skin cells off of your face that are interfering with your glow, so your skin is so much smoother and brighter, but it also helps address hyperpigmentation, uneven skin darkness, and texture on the skin because it really smooths things out and brings this rejuvenated look. This is really like a facial in a bottle because it is such a high percentage of AHA, and that's why I use it once a week. My sensitive skin actually tolerates it super well."

"For exfoliation I use the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask once a week. I really like it because it uses 15% glycolic acid as well as 3% lactic acid, which gets it into mini peel territory, no joke percentages. I like this product for the delivery system, it's a wash off mask, so I can tailor my mini peel experience by how long I leave it on, usually around 10 minutes for me, sometimes only 7 if my skin feels more sensitive than usual. I really like having a product in my routine that gives me that pick me up sort of instant result when my skin is looking a little dull."

"Glycolic acid is actually my favorite, AHA, alpha hydroxy acid, that is going to not only exfoliate your skin, it is also going to help to hold on to hydration. Now lactic acid has nothing to do with your pores, it's the bonus, it's going to help to brighten your skin in the process while exfoliating your skin. And these two exfoliating acids are in the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask, which is my exfoliating mask of choice that I do anywhere from two to four times a week. And sometimes I even sleep with it on my face overnight because I'm not sensitive to it. It's a hydrating exfoliating mask that is going to help with the overall appearance of your skin so your skin can look smoother and firmer over time, giving you that flawless application of makeup the next day."

"The one I created, the Major Fade Flash Mask by Dr. Idriss, has lactic acid. So it's going to help to brighten your skin while you're exfoliating as well."

"I'm obsessed with my Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask. This is an Allure best of beauty with 15% glycolic acid, 3% lactic acid, and [tranexamic] acid. It is an exfoliating mask that does also hydrate at the same time. In the summertime, I maybe use it two times a week. In the winter time, I'll go up to four times a week. And sometimes when I'm really really lazy, I'll just put it on followed by the serum and the moisturizer and we just go to sleep because I can tolerate it and it gives you baby smooth skin the next day. Totally something perfected for texture, dryness, and beyond."

"I'm going to be using the Major Fade Flash Mask, applying this from the top of my head down to my chest, avoiding the eye area because the skin is more sensitive there and the crevices around my nostrils because it can build up there. We're going to leave this on for 15 minutes. An advanced move for not the beginners of the group is to leave this guy on overnight. If I have a big event, if I'm exhausted, if I want my skin to look really good the next day, I usually apply it, leave it on overnight, go to sleep, wake up, and wash it off, and my skin the next day is as smooth as a baby's butt."

"The Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask. As you guys can see, this is a mask. So, you can dictate how long you want to leave it on for. And you can also choose where you use it. So, if you're sensitive here, don't go close to your eyes. I cannot use it around my nose because I'm very sensitive around my nose, but I'll put it on my cheeks, my forehead, my chin, my neck, my chest. I will do this especially once a week to get a smoother décolletage. It is great. The combination of glycolic and lactic acid, again, I'm very much a fan of my own products and this is what I use on my own face."

"This is an exfoliating mask that is loaded in glycolic acid at 15% and lactic acid. So you're going to exfoliate your skin. You're going to have a smoother surface. You can sleep with it overnight if you're not sensitive, but just approach cautiously if you've not used it. And I would patch test it first. And the fact that the glycolic acid is married to the lactic acid, it not only smooths your skin, but it also brightens your skin. And it also has [tranexamic] acid, which is a medication that I prescribe in my office and even injects in my office for people with melasma. But we have it in the mask as well to really help boost the brightening process."

"It's a gel based mask that you can leave on your face, you can even leave it on overnight if you're not very sensitive. It is a 15% glycolic acid mask with lactic acid and tranexamic acid to help even out your skin tone and make your skin feel baby smooth and soft. I use it three times a week and it has been a game changer. My mother, who is 67, has applied it to the sunspots on the back of her hands and left it on throughout the day, reapplying it, and those sunspots, to my shock and surprise, are gone. It's formulated gently enough that most skin types can tolerate it."

"It helps start the brightening process. There's no fragrance, there's no HA. It's a beautiful tone and tint, you can really see where you apply it. I tell sensitive people put it on for 5 minutes, wash it off, let's see how you do. You will feel a spice as your pH of your skin acclimates. You can leave it on for up to 30 minutes, and if you're really not sensitive you can put it on overnight. You wake up with the softest, smoothest skin ever, literally. I put it from here to my tits, and in the morning when I shower it's like oh my god. When I do the trainings at Sephora now I make the beauty advisers touch my face, which is funny. I'm like just feel how soft it is, I don't make them, let me see if they want to, but if you want to touch, it's available for you to touch my face, and they're like wow, because you have to feel it to believe it."

"The Major Fade Flash Mask is a 15% glycolic acid mask, but products do combine acids with a 3% lactic acid as a bonus. The reason why I made it a mask is twofold. You should not be exfoliating every single night of the week. When it's a mask format, there's a barrier to entry, so you don't want to do it as often and therefore you want to exfoliate probably two to four times a week at most. The thing about a mask that is really unique and nice is that you can put it to any area of your face or body that you want to have it sit on for a few minutes and then wash it off. You can control where you apply it and how long you apply it for, and that is really unique to a mask and that is why we also made it as a mask format. Plus the other bonus is that this also has trizyamic acid which is an ingredient used for brightening as well. So the combination of that with the lactic acid and the glycolic acid make it a very effective mask. This one in particular does have an initial tingle. It is the pH of your skin acclimating to the product. It is not an irritation and it usually resolves around 1 to 2 minutes."

"I use this two to three times a week at night only. I never exfoliate in the morning. The only time I've done it is before a photo shoot, because it does give a little smoother appearance. But the reality is I'll do it the night before and sleep with it overnight, which we don't recommend for everyone if you're sensitive, but I do do that."

"This is your exfoliating mask. It has 15% glycolic acid, lactic acid, and tranexamic acid. The reason why it comes in a mask is multifactorial. I wanted you guys to control where and how long you are exfoliating for. I don't want you guys putting some wet toner all over your face, getting it into your eye, dripping on your PJs. So I wanted you guys to control where you apply it and for how long you apply it. You can wash it off, leave it on for like three or four minutes if you're sensitive, up to 30 minutes if you're not. The real nerds know you can sleep with it overnight if you need to, but if you're sensitive or have rosacea or a broken skin barrier, please do not do that. You can also use it as a spot treatment if you're breaking out, put it on your little pimples and allow it to sit overnight for the breakouts, not necessarily for your whole face. We exfoliate about two times a week in summer, four times a week in winter when it's drier. I exfoliate more when it's very humid, and I might exfoliate less."

"Given that I do have discoloration, I like to marry it to lactic acid because lactic acid can help minimize that discoloration, and then we also in this particular product married it to tranexamic acid, which is not an exfoliating acid. If you have melasma you just want to throw everything at it, so combining it with an exfoliating acid allows it to work a little bit more efficiently, and that is why we mixed all three in the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask. The beauty of a gel is you can pick how long you keep it on your face and where you apply it, so for me I always apply it on the high points of my face. I don't go too close into my orbital rim because it gets a little bit more sensitive there and the skin underneath the eyes is more sensitive. I come right over here, I go on my forehead cuz you want to make sure that you are getting any sort of sunspots that has been brewing up there, and then down my nose lightly, lightly, lightly. I don't come in here or in here because that is going to get irritated. Few nights a week I'll put this on for 20, 30 minutes; one night a week I'll even sleep with it and wash it off the next day, it will be my one-step nighttime routine that one night a week. But if you're sensitive, just leave it on for 5 minutes and wash it off. It is spicy for everyone who applies it and then it settles down. My skin feels nice, it feels smooth, it always gets a little bit red after I wash it off, it will calm down."

"If you're looking more for proactive anti-aging benefits, things that are going to help improve collagen production as well as even out your skin color, that's why I made the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask. You can let this sit on your skin for five minutes to even overnight if you're not sensitive. I actually did it last night and I wake up smooth as a baby's bottom, love it, love it, love it. It has glycolic acid, lactic acid, and tranexamic acid, but those are sort of exfoliation products that I would recommend once we're done exfoliating."

"The Major Fade Flash Mask is our exfoliating acid. It's 15% glycolic acid with lactic acid and tranexamic acid. Tranexamic acid alone isn't great topically for melasma, but in combination with an exfoliating acid it works better, though the best form of tranexamic acid, if I'm being honest, is a prescription pill by mouth, and not everybody is a candidate for that. The reason I like it as a mask twice a week and not a toner is because it comes in a gel form, so you can pick and choose where to apply it on your face. If you know you're sensitive next to your eyes, you're not going to go next to your eyes. If you know your patch constantly appears in a certain area, you might want to focus there. If your skin can take it as a whole face mask, you apply it as a whole face mask. You can literally use it as a spot treatment or as a field treatment. Unrelated to melasma, you can also use it on your elbows, your hands if you have sunspots, or your chest if you have spots there. The reason it's a gel is so you can control it."

"This is the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask. It's an exfoliating mask with 15% glycolic acid as well as lactic acid and tranexamic acid. You can use it on your face, but if your elbows are dark, if your armpits are dark, if your knees are dark, smoothing your legs helps your stretch marks, it can help with the regenerative process on the stretch marks. And if you're somebody who has KP, which is like the chicken skin on the back of the arms, you can absolutely use this for the back of the arms to help that as well, because an exfoliating acid is going to be helpful in those areas."

"The flash mask is also awesome for a spot treatment. It's an exfoliating mask that comes in a gel format, so you can apply it to hard-to-reach areas. So if you already have, let's say, a brown spot, once the pimple is gone and you're trying to get rid of that brown discoloration, you can put a little bit of the flash mask on the spot every night to try to peel it off faster. But as long as there is inflammation and redness, you don't want to overexfoliate because you don't want to cause too much redness, too much inflammation. It's a strong exfoliating mask. Anything with a strong chemical peel should never be used around the eyes or inside the orbital rim where your skin is thinner, because it can irritate your skin. So if you have really inflamed pimples, you don't want to cause any sort of inflammation to that and make things worse. You need to exfoliate, but you've got to time that exfoliation so that you're not inflaming your skin, and that is where these come in, to minimize that redness so you can gently help those pimples get extracted without causing more damage."

"You have the Flash Mask. It's an exfoliating mask with 15% glycolic acid, lactic acid, and tranexamic acid to help calm how your pigment is made. I go all over my face when I use this. I let it sit and put it on evenly, and I might even go down on my neck and use a little bit more when I go on my chest. The Flash Mask is meant to be washed off, so you're not worried about peeling with this. The other tip that I have for the Flash Mask is if you have an acne mark that just went away, but that brown spot is not disappearing, you can spot treat it every night without having to wash it off. Leave it on overnight on that spot every single night until you feel it got lighter, so you can use this as a spot treatment as well. It is meant to be for the face, but I use it on my face, neck, and chest, and you can spot treat as well."

"This is made up of 15% glycolic acid, so it's already double in strength compared to The Ordinary. It's not necessarily for beginners, but it's worth a try, and if you have sensitive skin, always patch test first. It also has lactic acid, which is a brightening exfoliating acid, and the combination of these two is extremely powerful. Plus we married it to tranexamic acid to help with hyperpigmentation. You can apply it not too close to your eyes, along your nasal bridge, all over your face, or even use it as a spot treatment. You can also use it elsewhere on your body because it comes in the form of a gel, so you control where it goes and how long it stays, and then you wash it off."

"Exfoliating is your reset button. Acids that I love, glycolic acid because it's going to help hydrate, it's also going to help promote collagen, so that's going to help even out fine lines and wrinkles in the long run, and lactic acid because she brightens while she hydrates. The combination of the two is perfection. And that is why I love the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask. I recommend that you start exfoliating three to four times a week at night, at the end of the day after you wash your face off."

"This is the Dr Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask, an exfoliating mask that I recommend using at night for your face. If you have an event or if your skin can tolerate it, you can use it all night on your face, you don't have to wash it off. After ten, fifteen, twenty minutes, or the next morning, your skin is dewy, soft. I love to use this as a spot treatment when I have a pimple, especially when you are melanated, because you don't want to have post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation left behind."

"First and foremost, obviously I have an interest in this, this is my company, it is my product line, I love it and I use this three to four times a week going into winter, and I do it at night. This is the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask, which is an acid-based resurfacing mask. It's a beautiful pink texture and it retails for 48 dollars. It has three main ingredients: glycolic acid at 15, so I went the highest that I could possibly go, combining it with lactic acid as well as tranexamic acid to help even out your skin tone. The reason I made it as a mask, a gel mask, is twofold. One, very honestly, I wanted to make it harder for you guys to use so you don't overuse it, but two, I wanted you guys to figure out how long you can have it on your face for. So if you're very sensitive, if you're a darker skin type and you're sensitive or you're scared but you want glycolic acid, leave it on for five minutes then wash it off. If you're someone who's like, I can tolerate this, I will never publicize this on the website or on the brand side, I actually put it an hour before I go to bed from head to my tits and go to sleep an hour later, I don't wash it off, I leave it on overnight."

"This is the Dr. Idriss Major Fade Flash Mask, it is a 15% glycolic acid mask, and the beauty with this is that you can pick and choose where you apply it, so you can let it sit on your skin for 15, 30 minutes on your body before jumping into the shower and washing it off. Small tip, I do this before applying any sort of self-tanner because it allows your self tanner to go on more smoothly without any sort of streaks or unwanted lines that you get on your body."

"Dr. Idriss's Flash Mask is a 15% glycolic acid. Glycolic acid is the strongest AHA, going the deepest and allowing collagen to regenerate. The Flash Mask pairs glycolic acid with lactic acid and tranexamic acid to help brighten your skin and even out dark spots and any discoloration."

"In her Major Fade Flash Mask, her own brand, she put panthenol in with the exfoliating acids, especially glycolic acid at 15%. The exfoliating acid can be aggressive, but she has been very pleasantly surprised by how many people can tolerate it because of the panthenol, which helps to calm the skin down and allows it to recover. You're exfoliating while recovering, so you're not getting the crazy reaction you'd normally get from a 15% exfoliating acid."
