I Used This Hydrating Mask For One Week & The Results Were Shocking

As someone who tests skin care products as part of my job, I'm familiar with the waiting period often needed to start seeing noticeable results. I've had to religiously apply products for months before seeing any real changes—ultimately proving the point that patience is not only essential but oh-so-worth-it.

Knowing this, you can probably understand why I was simply astonished when I found a product that helped my skin go from dry and dull to plump and beaming within a week.

Before I started using this miracle mask every evening, I was fighting tooth and nail to keep my skin hydrated through the night. No matter how many layers of ultra-thick moisturizer or nourishing face oil I put on, I would still wake up with tight, dry skin. 

Mainly for environmental reasons, I'm not one to slug my skin with petrolatum-based products (as the mineral oil1 in these products can build up in our waterways)—but I knew I needed something thicker than my regular face oil. 

Youth to the People was already one of my favorite brands because of its focus on clean ingredients, high-performance products, and attention to sustainability. The formulas have never failed me, and the glow mask is no exception.

The mask is packed with hydrating ingredients I know and love, but the combination delivers a unique, creamy texture. With hyaluronic acid, prickly pear, maqui, goji berry, sunflower, squalane, and vitamin C (as THD ascorbate), the creamy moisturizer packs a hydrating, radiance-boosting punch.

The unfiltered truth: I haven't woken up with dry skin since I started using this product. After just one week, my skin was glowing beyond what I ever expected.

This radiance boost is all thanks to vitamin C (and a blend of superbotanical extracts). The benefits of topical vitamin C have been extensively researched, showing it has beneficial outcomes for things like fading hyperpigmentation2, brightening3, and even taming rosacea (thanks to its anti-inflammatory2 properties).
