MEDIHEAL Retinol Collagen Ampoule Contour Mask — Masque Lift Professionnel

This mask combines four families of anti-aging active ingredients to reshape the facial contour.

Retinol (Retinol) — Encapsulated in liposome form to prevent irritation, retinol is formulated at 99% purity and stimulates cell renewal. It gradually reduces fine lines while reviving the radiance of tired skin.

Hydrolyzed Collagen (Hydrolyzed Collagen) — With a molecular weight of 300 Da,this ultra-fractionated form penetrates the superficial layers of the epidermis to plump from within. It works synergistically with retinol to strengthen skin structure.

Niacinamide (Niacinamide) — This versatile active ingredient evens out skin tone, regulates sebum production, and protects the skin barrier weakened by retinol. An essential presence to minimize redness.

Ceramide NP (Ceramide NP) — A structural lipid that locks in hydration and supports the balance of the hydrolipidic film. Combined with hyaluronic acid (Sodium Hyaluronate), it ensures optimal tolerance even on sensitive skin.

☀️ Morning routine

Not recommended in the morning due to retinol photosensitivity. Instead, opt for high sun protection to preserve the results achieved the day before.

🌙 Evening routine

1. Remove makeup and cleanse your face, then apply a toner to prepare the skin
2. Unfold the upper mask and place it on the upper half of the face
3. Apply the lower mask around the chin, then gently pull each side along the jawline to create a tightening effect
4. Leave on for 10 to 20 minutes, remove, and pat the excess serum until fully absorbed
5. Continue with your usual night cream if needed

Frequency: 1 to 2 times per week maximum to avoid over-stimulation from retinol.

This mask is intended for the following profiles:

• Mature skin (35+) looking for intensive care to slow sagging and smooth established wrinkles
• Undefined facial oval — people wanting to regain a clear, lifted contour without injections
• Retinol users — if you already use this active ingredient in your routine, your skin will better tolerate this concentration
• Normal to combination skin that tolerates rich formulas without congestion (the ampoule texture is generous)

Avoid if:

• You are new to retinol (prefer a progressive serum before moving on to the mask)
• You are pregnant or breastfeeding (classic contraindication for retinol)
• Your skin is very sensitive or reactive (test first on a small area)
• You plan sun exposure the next day without SPF50+ protection

The results follow a curve of progressive improvement.

Immediate effect (right after application): The two-piece mask applies mechanical tension to the contours of the face. The skin appears lifted, and the features are reshaped for several hours after removal.

After 2 weeks (2 applications): The skin texture refines, and dehydration fine lines fade thanks to hyaluronic acid and collagen. The complexion gains brightness due to the action of niacinamide.

After 1 month (regular use): Clinical studies conducted on the line show a 21.18% reduction in the number of deep wrinkles and a 44.47% reduction in their length after a single use.With continued use, retinol stimulates endogenous collagen synthesis for a lasting tightening effect.

Note: Results vary depending on age, skin condition, and consistency of use. Retinol requires patience and consistency.

What is the difference with the Retinol Collagen Eye Ampoule Patch?

The eye patches target only the eye contour (dark circles, puffiness, crow's feet) and are worn for 20-30 minutes. This lifting mask covers the entire face in two pieces for an overall tightening effect on the oval and jawline. The concentrations of active ingredients also differ: the face mask focuses on a structural approach, while the eye patches emphasize drainage and immediate radiance.

Can I use it if I am new to retinol?

No, it is not recommended. This mask contains pure encapsulated retinol, which is still an active concentration. If you have never used retinol, start with a low-dose serum (0.1-0.3%) for 4 to 6 weeks to get your skin used to it. Once tolerance is established, you can incorporate this mask as an occasional treatment.

How can I maximize the tightening effect of the mask?

The secret lies in the application technique: after positioning the lower part under the chin, pull the ends firmly along the jawline towards the temples before fixing them. This mechanical tension supports the action of the active ingredients. Stay still during application (no facial movements) and lie down if possible to let gravity work in your favor.

How long does a box of 10 masks last?

Between 5 and 10 weeks depending on your routine. For an intensive anti-aging treatment, use 2 masks per week for 5 weeks. For maintenance, one mask every 7 to 10 days is enough. Never use this mask more than twice a week: retinol requires recovery time to avoid peeling and irritation.

Can I sleep with this mask on?

No, absolutely not. The recommended application time is 10 to 20 minutes maximum. Prolonged contact with encapsulated retinol may cause redness, tightness, or even inflammation. Strictly respect the indicated time, remove the mask, and pat the excess ampoule—do not add more.

Should I apply a cream after the mask?

Yes, if your skin needs it. After patting the excess ampoule, wait 5 minutes to assess your comfort level. If you feel tightness, seal in hydration with a night cream rich in ceramides or squalane. If your skin is already plumped and comfortable, there is no need to layer: the ampoule is enough.
