What the gurus are saying

Gurus unanimously praise this as a potent weekly brightening and exfoliating treatment that delivers visible results in a single use. The consistent theme is its speed and efficiency: one application produces noticeable glow, smoother texture, and faded hyperpigmentation. Reviewers emphasize it packs serious punch and should be limited to once or twice weekly to avoid irritation; using it more risks sensitivity. The combination of vitamin C with centella asiatica is highlighted as particularly effective for collagen boost. Minor notes include its higher price point but perceived value for a long-lasting tube, and praise for the convenient pump packaging.

"This is a mask that has some great brightening ingredients, exfoliating treatments, and that great ethylated ascorbic acid. This is like our one-stop shop instant glow up facial. So twice a week, put a thin layer of this on, leave it on for 10 minutes, rinse it off, and you'll be glowing to the gods, getting your vitamin C dose alongside all those other great benefits. And this is a vitamin C and exfoliator all in one. So that's just nice in terms of streamlining."

INSTANT ANTI AGING RESULTS - Top 5 Anti Aging Skincare Products
"In here you've got a beautiful blend of different exfoliating acids, you got taurine, vitamin C, you've got some glutathione, you got a plethora of plumping and hydrating ingredients too. If you've got a big event, a photo shoot, dinner, or you just want to look your absolute radiant best, put a layer of this on for 10 minutes the night before you want to glow to the gods and you'll wake up radiating. This packs a punch, it's a potent, potent product, so I wouldn't use it more than once, maybe twice a week. But when it comes to fading hyperpigmentation, glowing you up in a flash, and just smoothing everything out, this product is it. After you've used this the night before, in the morning you'll radiate so much more. It's like that glow-from-within look. Your makeup applies so much better because the skin's hydrated and it's plumped out, so you get better makeup application. It definitely helps to really supercharge your hyperpigmentation routine. I tend to do this just once a week, I find that's enough for my skin. If I use it more frequently I might open things up to sensitivity, which I don't want. As a flash facial fix, this is everything."
Top Rated Anti Aging Serums 2025 - SUPREME ANTI AGING RESULTS
"This is the PSA Skin Follow the Light Mask. This is a treatment that you're going to want to use twice a week max, but in just those two applications, you'll get the same results as a treatment that you use every single day because this is so so powerful. You have a beautiful blend of a different exfoliating acids which going to smooth everything out. The concentration of glycolic acid in here is also going to increase the rate of collagen and elastin production. Amazing if your key focus is fading hyperpigmentation. But you also have vitamin C and centella asiatica together here. There was a recent study that showed if you use centella asiatica and vitamin C together, it actually quadruples the amount of additional collagen produced versus just using vitamin C in isolation. So this is going to be a powerhouse when it comes to boosting collagen. It's going to be phenomenal when it comes to minimizing the appearance of hyperpigmentation. And it's also got some great calming and soothing ingredients. So it's that sort of product that will genuinely work for almost everyone out there. Twice a week is all you need with this because it packs a punch."

"This is a great exfoliator to use twice a week in a mask form, put it on the skin, 10 minutes later rinse it off. Your skin will love it, your hyperpigmentation will fade far quicker, and it's just a step up. It is slightly more expensive than The Ordinary glycolic acid, but I think for the quality of the formulation it's worth every penny."

"This I've recommended so many times on the channel I absolutely love it. This one actually has a great blend of glycolic acid which is a great exfoliant, you've got lactic acid, you've got salicylic acid, you've also got a touch of vitamin C and in here you've also got glutathione. This is just a great all round brightening treatment for the skin. Once or twice a week is all you need for this. For me twice a week is best, but if you've got very sensitive skin type once a week is all you need. And there's a great little glow up hack that you can use before a special event or use it on a Sunday night before you go to work for the rest of the week to just make sure that you're going to be radiating. I love this, like I say I've been a fan of it."

"The follow the light mask is exfoliator base but also has some vitamin C in so if you like exfoliating acids and want like a twice a weekly exfoliation treatment to get your glow then the follow the light mask is for you. I tend to use the follow the light mask once a week that way I'm getting a good exfoliation. Both of these will create an instant glow up so if you wake up and think your skin's looking a little dull a little lackluster or you've got a big event and you want your glow game to be on point, 10 minutes on the skin rinse it off and get on with the rest of your skincare you will be glowing to the gods. I love them."

My MORNING SKINCARE ROUTINE - Guaranteed To Boost Skin Collagen
"You leave it on the skin for 10 minutes rinse it off and then get on with the rest of your skincare. 10 minutes not a massive investment for that glow up. I do this once a week on a Sunday. I absolutely love it. It's in a really convenient pump and I use I'd say like three pumps for the whole face. My skin just feels so so soft supple and not dry at all. This is actually buy one get one free at the moment. It's definitely not the cheapest product out there but for a once a week treatment that lasts probably six months definitely worth the price point if you can get it when it's buy one get one free and with that discount it works at like 22 pounds per tube which yeah I think is really really good."

That hyperpigmentation will be erased, and you'll just have a boost to your skin confidence. It works so quickly because of that glutathione. But just beware, this packs a punch. So, a couple of times a week as a 10-minute leave-on treatment is all you need. But one of my absolute favorites."
5 BEST BRIGHTENING SERUMS - Glowing Skin Guaranteed
"This is the PSA Skin Follow the Light Mask. I love PSA Skin, the names that they give their products, the colors. This is a sort of product where in the dull winter months where things are quite dark, maybe the weather's a bit on the gloomy side, you reach for a product like this and think yes, this is uplifting, it's vibrant because of the beautiful ombre pink color which I love, and a really convenient pump too. It's actually a mask that they recommend you use once or twice a week. It's like a flush facial for giving you that glow up and that radiance boost, and honestly it works. You put about three pumps to cover the whole face, and what this will give you is a 10 percent concentration of a blend of exfoliating acids, glycolic, lactic, and salicylic acid, so pure form vitamin C, some centella which together with vitamin C boost collagen production which I love, it's also got glutathione, it's got licorice in here, and a lot of other pigment correctors. So actually after just one use you'll notice that your glow game is on point, the skin feels smoother, and this acts as your radiance boost and your exfoliator all in one. Don't overdo it, once a week is all you need, and this will give you that glow boost that we all want."

"It's my favorite between the two. It's just a rinse off chemical exfoliating mask. It's got 10% mixture of glycolic and lactic acid, also contains 5% vitamin C, pomegranate enzymes, centella, and then lactobacillus ferment. It's got glutathione, vitamin E. You just apply it once a week or twice a week for 20 minutes, then rinse it off. It's really a nice mask."
