Blue Moon Retinol Overnight Sleeping Mask

Giving a whole new meaning to the word "beauty sleep," the Blue Moon Retinol Overnight Sleeping Mask goes to work while you sleep to deliver intense moisture that leaves skin smooth, supple, and fresh when you wake.

Used as an age-management and preventative/corrective cream, the Blue Moon Retinol Overnight Sleeping Mask contains a potent blend of botanicals, including the star ingredient Blue Tansy Oil, which increases cellular turnover and minimizes the appearance of texture and enlarged pores, as well as brightening any uneven pigment.

The resulting Chamazulene from the distillation process is the active magic that enriches Blue Tansy Oil with soothing, anti-inflammatory properties that calm the skin almost instantly.

Aligning with its name, the Blue Moon Overnight Sleeping Mask works best when applied at sun down and at the end of your P.M. skin routine. Those who enjoy this formulation will notice a distinctive scent of sweet sage with a light herbaceous aroma that washes one’s being with a sense of peace through connectedness with the Earth’s ingredients.

Clinical Data Findings:

• The 4-Part Hyaluronic Acid Blend in our formulation improved the skin hydration of study participants by 155.1% and decreased the skin's TEWL (Transepidermal Water Loss) by 32.3% just one hour after application.

• Our formulation featuring Retinal Hydroxyapatite delivers 20 times more potency than retinol in order to stimulate collagen and elastin synthesis more effectively while also being non-irritating. Additionally, the Retinal Hydroxyapatite in our formulation delivers calcium simultaneously with the retinal to further increase the efficacy of reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

• In a clinical study, the powerful plant botanical blend featured in our formulation was shown to increase skin's hydration, boost promotion of collagen synthesis, and increase synthesis of α2 1 integrins, which are responsible for the dermal-epidermal junction and cellular interactions. 

Recommended Use: Apply the cream nightly after your cleansing, toning, and serum cocktail. Allow all serums to dry before applying the cream for full benefits. Sleep in the cream and rinse off the next morning.
