Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works well, I like the smell but it contains parabens

I've tried the brightening mask several times and I'm impressed - it really seems to work! I have an uneven complexion from wearing glasses and sunglasses all summer and I was dying to even out my complexion. After using it I felt my skin looked better in general - it became more hydrated and more even. I even love the scent which is so rare for me. Scented foods are usually too spicy and give me a headache, but this scent is so light and refreshing it feels like going to a spa. I think it even helps me sleep as the smell is so relaxing. So if I'm so passionate about it, why only four stars? Because unfortunately I'm a little sad that these products contain parabens. Three different types of parabens, to be precise. For those of you who don't know the dangers of parabens in beauty products, they destroy hormones. They mimic estrogen and have been linked to breast cancer. I see these ingredients at the bottom of the ingredient list so I hope the amounts are low, but for those concerned about parabens, any amount, even a small amount, can be unacceptable so I felt compelled to point that out . All three different mask types contain the same basic ingredients, the only major difference being that the firming mask contains vitamin A, the moisturizing mask contains vitamin E and the brightening mask contains vitamin C. Can I recommend this mask? Yes, especially if you're the type who doesn't care about parabens.
