From the creators of the Advanced Night Repair serum and eye contour comes the weekly treatment mask with which you will get fresh and renewed skin instantly.
It is a two-piece PowerFoil mask (one for the forehead, eyes and nose, and another for the cheeks and jaw) that creates a protective barrier, allowing the powerful active ingredients to penetrate quickly and deeply into the surface of the skin, helping to retain moisture.
These leaves are infused with a good amount of Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum , plus ChronoluxCB technology (a proprietary ingredient that helps repair aging skin), hyaluronic acid, birch extract, and magnolia bark extract.
With this composition, the brand aims to restore the appearance of the skin after the visible aggressions of modern life. With immediate benefits, the skin is fresher and renewed.
We are going to examine the INCI to see if with this product we can benefit from all the assets of the serum, or they want to give us a hoot.
And after the analysis of the Estee Lauder mask, you cannot miss this article that we have made with a compilation of the best facial masks , among which is this one that we are reviewing.

Summary analysis Advanced Night Repair PowerFoil Concentrate Mask by Estee Lauder
Speaking purely of the ingredients, the mask is basically a serum, with a high concentration of anti-aging actives, ranging from seaweed extracts to caffeine.
A good part of the list is made up of active ingredients, and most provide an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and soothing action, although there are also some compounds that purify oily skin.
Those that are more concentrated are seaweed (soothing and softening), mangosteen extract (antioxidant), magnolia extract (anti-inflammatory and antioxidant), and milk thistle (antioxidant and soothing); although throughout the list we find hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, or squalane, all of them in a low concentration.
In the end there are a couple of irritating ingredients, although their concentration is minimal.
The serum part of the mask has a fairly clear odor, as it does not have any particular recognizable odor. With that said, the aluminum foil does smell a bit chemical when you open the package and also when you place it on your skin. The smell is not overwhelming, but it can irritate the eyes.
It should be applied to clean skin, once a week at night. Unwrap the mask carefully and insert the lower half first, then the upper half. Let it work for 10 minutes, then wipe it off, gently massaging the excess liquid until it is completely absorbed.
Aluminum sheets fit surprisingly well and don’t move easily, although they are heavier than biocellulose sheets, and the look they leave behind is not at all attractive. Just make sure to feel it on the sides of the nose every now and then.
The aluminum foil actually increases the absorption of the serum, so it works more powerful and faster than other foil masks. Put it on for ten minutes and your skin will be smoother than ever.
This is because, unlike cotton or biocellulose (typical ingredients in face masks), aluminum is 100 percent occlusive, letting nothing in or out. The serum absorbs quickly, without leaving an overwhelming sensation of alcohol on the skin.
The smooth finish obtained after removal is reminiscent of makeup primer, so it is also perfect for daytime use.
It does not leave any sticky or heavy residue, but the level of hydration we obtain is very limited. Although it leaves skin glowing and moderately hydrated, it is not as deeply hydrating as other hydrating masks from competitors.
Alternative
If you are looking for a mask that is somewhat more hydrating, and that in addition to providing antioxidants, cleans the pores in depth, the safest bet is the Mask with Vitamin C from Nezeni Cosmetics.
In addition to a good concentration of antioxidant vitamin C, it includes kaolin, clay and rice starch, two good absorbers of fat and purifiers of the skin. The best of all is that this product does not have any irritant, and its preservatives are very low, so they do not harm the skin.
