✨ A professional cream mask targeting the eye contour and neck — the two zones most resistant to standard facial protocols — powered by a Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline + Retinol multi-active system that visibly firms, smooths, and brightens in a single 20–30 minute service.

The formula's architecture is built for mature and event-prep skin: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (a stable, oil-soluble vitamin C ester) pairs with Panax Ginseng to lift dull, uneven tone, while Sodium Lactate drives deep hydration during the extended-contact phase. Allantoin keeps the experience comfortable even on sensitized skin — a practical advantage when working retinol into a client's facial rotation for the first time. The visible smoothing effect carries for up to 8–10 hours post-treatment, making this a natural anchor for event-prep bookings and a built-in retail conversation at the mirror.

🧪 Compatible with all skin types, including mature and dehydrated presentations.

For practices building out a results-driven mature skin facial menu — especially where the neck and eye zone are the client's primary concern.

• Visibly Firms and Tightens: Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline — a lipophilic hydroxyproline ester — reinforces the skin's structural protein matrix at the surface, creating a visible firming and tightening effect that helps reduce the look of loose or sagging skin around the eyes and neck.
• Reduces Appearance of Fine Lines: Retinol accelerates surface skin cell turnover and visibly smooths fine lines and wrinkles; combined with Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline, the formula delivers a measurable improvement in the look of depth and texture of lines with each treatment.
• Temporary Line-Diminishing Effect: The mask's film-forming and tightening system provides a visible reduction in superficial lines for up to 8–10 hours post-treatment, supporting clients through events, photoshoots, or occasions where a smoothed, refreshed appearance is the goal.
• Brightens and Revitalizes Skin Tone: Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, a highly stable oil-soluble vitamin C ester, works alongside Panax Ginseng Root Extract to visibly brighten uneven skin tone and restore a revitalized, more luminous appearance after the 20–30 minute treatment.
• Intense Moisture Infusion: Sodium Lactate, a key natural moisturizing factor (NMF) component, draws moisture into the upper skin layers during the extended-contact phase, leaving skin feeling deeply hydrated and helping prevent moisture loss after removal.
• Soothes and Smooths Surface Texture: Allantoin calms the appearance of stressed or reactive skin and promotes a visibly smoother surface texture, making this mask suitable for mature, sensitive, or environmentally fatigued skin types.

Dipalmitoyl Hydroxyproline: A lipophilic ester of hydroxyproline (a key amino acid in collagen) that supports the skin's structural proteins, helping to improve the appearance of firmness and reduce the look of fine lines when used in leave-on or extended-contact formulations.

Retinol: The gold-standard vitamin A active that accelerates surface cell turnover and visibly reduces the appearance of fine lines and uneven texture; positioned deep enough in the INCI list to be trace-effective, which is the engineered norm for retinol in cosmetic formulations.

Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate: A highly lipophilic, oil-soluble form of vitamin C that remains stable in emulsion formulations and penetrates the skin surface efficiently, visibly brightening skin tone and complementing the retinol and hydroxyproline anti-aging system in this mask.

Panax Ginseng Root Extract - known as Ginseng Extract: A standardized botanical rich in ginsenosides that supports skin vitality and helps even the appearance of fatigued, dull skin, contributing to the mask's 'revitalizing' positioning alongside vitamin C.

Sodium Lactate: The sodium salt of lactic acid that functions as a potent humectant and natural moisturizing factor (NMF) component, drawing moisture into the upper layers of the skin to support the mask's intensely hydrating effect.

Allantoin: A well-established skin-conditioning agent derived from comfrey that helps soothe the appearance of irritated or stressed skin and supports a smooth, refined surface texture — an important complementary role given the retinol and pro-aging actives in this mask.

1. Review the client's skin history and confirm the absence of contraindications (active inflammation, broken skin, known allergies to botanicals or fragrance).
2. Cleanse the client's face thoroughly and prepare the skin for treatment.
3. Apply an even layer of Christine Valmy Valessence 100 or Embryoval penetrating cream to the treatment area (eyes, neck, and targeted face zones) to optimize absorption of subsequent actives.
4. Apply a thick, even layer of the Wrinkle Mask for Eye & Neck over the penetrating cream across all targeted areas.
5. Leave the mask on for 20–30 minutes. Do not disturb or massage during processing time.
6. Remove the mask completely using a damp sponge or warm water, then refresh the skin by applying Christine Valmy Valmist II toning mist.
7. Complete the service by applying a daytime protection lotion with broad-spectrum SPF to protect the skin and help maintain treatment results.

Pro tips for this service

This mask is well-suited as the active phase of a mature skin or event-prep facial. The 8–10 hour visible smoothing window makes it a strong retail conversion moment: after removing the mask and applying SPF, walk the client through what they are seeing in the mirror and connect it to the at-home maintenance protocol. Clients with very sensitive skin or first-time retinol exposure may benefit from a shorter initial processing time (15–18 minutes) to gauge tolerance before progressing to the full 20–30 minutes. Note that Hexyl Nicotinate in the formula may produce a mild transient warmth or flush sensation during application — brief clients in advance to avoid alarm.
