This wash-off mask has heartleaf, fig, madecassoside, allantoin, mugwort and yam root for its natural ingredients with 2% niacinamide as its core ingredient, all brought together with their skincare technology (meadow shield). It’s easy to spread on the skin and to wash off with water. AXIS-Y recommends using this about 2-3x a week as needed. I used the mask 3x a week during the first week after I got it. I leave it on my skin for about 10-15 mins. and then I rinse it off. It’s lightly hydrating and doesn’t leave any tight or dry feeling after. The first thing I noticed was it made my skin softer and smoother. Then, I noticed, particularly after my 2nd use of it, that the area on the sides of my nose was less red and that my whole was considerably brighter.
