What the gurus are saying

This mask's strength is the high concentration of L-ascorbic acid, the most effective form of vitamin C for tackling dark spots and boosting collagen. The trade-off: L-ascorbic acid can sting and often has an unpleasant smell, which is why gurus appreciate this as a wash-off format you use in the morning and then move on, rather than leaving it on skin all day. The essential oils mask the typical meaty scent reasonably well, though the orange oil is a bit much for some.

"I love a good vitamin C brightening face mask and this one is really nice."

"The Kate Somerville Mega C 30% Vitamin C Brightening Facial is a 30% L-ascorbic acid mask you leave on for up to 20 minutes. I actually kind of agree with Allure, finally, I like this one because it's different. L-ascorbic acid is the gold standard of vitamin C if you're looking for hyperpigmentation fighting or collagen boosting, but it can sting, in terms of texture it tends to be watery, and in terms of smell it tends to smell meaty. So I like the idea of this as an AM mask for people who don't want to keep pushing through the L-ascorbic acid drawbacks all day, you put it on, wash it off, and you're done. It doesn't smell unpleasant because they added some essential oils that I'd say are overall carefully chosen, though I would have gone without the orange oil. Overall I liked it more than I thought I would."
