M Picaut Aventurine Radiance Treatment Mask

Glow-boosting, purifying mask that leaves skin looking radiant and even-toned / 1.7 oz 

M Picaut’s Aventurine Radiance Treatment Mask isn’t quite like any other mask on our shelves. It has a purifying clay base, yet it’s not drying; it contains both physical and acid-based exfoliants, yet actually leaves prone skin to redness looking more even and vibrant, without a trace of ruddiness. It has such a unique combination of ingredients and benefits that it took us a few weeks to wrap our heads around it.

So here’s our take: this could end up being the most versatile mask in your skincare collection. It truly shines when you’re having one of those moments when your skin feels kind of dull, kind of fussy, and possibly congested, but you also don’t want to dry it out with a typical clay mask or risk redness with a typical exfoliating mask.

The creamy clay base smooths onto skin almost like a putty, encouraging a plump, healthy glow with algae (harvested on Sweden’s west coast), heather flower, and aventurine crystal along with a blend of gentle exfoliating acids. If you’re looking for even more brightness and smoothness, you can massage it onto your face a bit, activating the Vitamin B5 microbeads that melt with friction. Either way, prebiotics and phragmites karka help calm and balance skin as it dries, ensuring that you’re left with nary a red patch — just smooth, bright, even, peaceful-looking skin.
