What it is and what it does
The Story
Enlivened Tone. Enlightened Skin.
Re-energise skin and elicit a radiant, even tone with #2 The Mask—a new targeted weekly treatment for all skin types.
Harnessing a proprietary Complex of nourishing Antioxidants, this restorative mask is ideal for those with uneven, reactive skin and a tendency to flush—delivering calm and comfort to the complexion. As a hydrated glow is reawakened, skin appears infinitely brighter.
The Promise
• Elicits a brighter, more even skin tone
• Delivers skin nutrition with nourishing antioxidants
• Rejuvenates and hydrates skin
• Calms redness and soothes signs of inflammation
• Imbues a youthful, radiant glow
The Ritual
Apply a generous layer to clean, dry skin.
Allow the mask to infuse for 20 minutes. Rinse thoroughly with tepid water.
Gently pat dry and follow with your recommended RATIONALE Essential Six formulations. Perform once weekly for remarkable skin luminosity.
The Research
Oxidative stress occurs in skin when the amount of free radicals outnumbers the naturally occurring antioxidants found within our skin. This results in hyperpigmentation, premature ageing, dullness, rough texture, and inflammation.
Research shows that a slow release of Vitamin C elevates rejuvenating effects over prolonged periods of time. Vitamin C neutralizes free radicals and prevents oxidation to brighten an uneven skin tone. In addition, Vitamin C plays an important role in regulating the supraduction of pigment. Pre-existing pigment is reduced and an even complexion is revealed.

Key ingredients

Glycerin (Glycerol) is the best natural moisturizing ingredient to hydrate skin quickly. May give products a sticky feel.

Hydrogenated face oil that is more stable than squalene found in sebum.

Oil absorbing mineral that helps reduce skin shine

Attracts water, giving cells and skin volume. Plays a key role in cell signals and other vital processes. It cushions the skin, providing resilience and firmness. This moisturizing humectant temporarily plumps fine lines and wrinkles. HA makes skin feel dewy and look radiant and glowing. Great for oily skin because it feels lightweight and non-greasy on the skin. Safe for all skin types. HA helps other skincare products get into the skin. This antiaging and hydrating ingredient can radically alter how your skin routine works by affecting penetration and absorption of other ingredients- so make sure you use it in the correct step of your skin care routine.

Combines with fatty acids and cholesterol to repair skin barrier
