Proactiv Vitamin C Resurfacing Face Mask — 1.7 oz Brightening Mask for Acne-Prone Skin, Targets Dark Marks & Texture

Proactiv Smooth & Bright Resurfacing Vitamin C Face Mask is an exfoliating brightening treatment designed to reduce post-acne dark marks, improve uneven texture, and revive radiance for acne-prone skin.

This resurfacing mask blends brightening vitamin C with targeted actives to help even skin tone and soften rough patches without leaving a greasy finish. Developed by dermatology-minded formulators, the lightweight cream-mask is designed to complement acne-care routines and can be used as a focused boost for areas with post-breakout discoloration or textural concerns.

How does the mask address dark marks and hyperpigmentation?

The formula combines vitamin C with tranexamic acid to help target areas of discoloration over repeated use. These ingredients support a brighter-looking surface tone while gluconolactone promotes gentle exfoliation so skin renewal can reveal fresher-looking skin.

• Vitamin C brightens and helps even skin tone.
• Tranexamic acid targets visible post-acne pigmentation.
• Gluconolactone provides mild chemical exfoliation for smoother texture.
• Regular use reduces the appearance of dark spots over time.

Is it suitable for acne-prone or sensitive skin?

Yes—this mask is created with non-comedogenic, non-greasy ingredients suitable for multiple skin types, including oily and sensitive skin. The product includes calming turmeric root extract to help reduce visible redness and is formulated to fit into acne-management regimens.

• Non-comedogenic, won’t clog pores.
• Turmeric root extract helps reduce the look of redness.
• Dermatologist-developed for acne-prone needs.
• Start with a sensitivity test if you’ve not used these actives before.

How should I use this mask in my skincare routine?

Apply a thin layer to clean skin one to three times daily, beginning with one application to assess tolerance. For best absorption, apply while skin is slightly damp; reduce frequency if dryness or peeling appears.

• Cleanse thoroughly before application.
• Apply thin layer to affected areas; better absorption on slightly damp skin.
• Begin with once daily for the first few days, increase as tolerated.
• Reduce frequency if dryness or irritation occurs; consult a doctor if needed.

What active ingredients make this mask effective?

The mask uses a combination of resurfacing and brightening actives: gluconolactone for gentle chemical exfoliation, tranexamic acid for pigment control, and vitamin C for radiance. These are balanced with skin-soothing extracts and a non-greasy base that fits into existing acne routines.

• Gluconolactone: mild resurfacing PHA.
• Tranexamic acid: helps address discoloration.
• Vitamin C: supports a brighter complexion.
• Turmeric root extract: soothes visible redness.

Who is this for: Proactiv Smooth & Bright Resurfacing Vitamin C Face Mask is designed for people with acne-prone skin who want to reduce the look of post-acne dark marks and refine uneven texture without heavy, pore-clogging creams. It’s an option for those seeking a treatment-strength booster to add to an existing acne routine, especially if you’re comfortable introducing brightening and gentle exfoliating ingredients. If you have very reactive skin, perform the recommended sensitivity test and adjust frequency as needed.
