What should I realistically expect after using the mask, and how long does the effect last?

This is a cosmetic treatment aimed at improving the appearance of skin that looks tired or less firm. Immediately after use, you can expect your skin to feel more hydrated, smoother, and potentially look more refreshed and plumped due to the concentrated serum and occlusive sheet format. The smoothing effect comes from ingredients like grape seed oil softening the surface and papain helping to refine texture. The visual "lifting" and firming effect is intended to enhance skin's vitality and tone, contributing to a more rested appearance. These are temporary cosmetic improvements. The duration of the effect varies significantly based on your skin type, environmental factors, and overall skincare routine—it may last from a few hours to part of the following day. For sustained results, consistent use as part of a broader skincare regimen that includes daily sun protection, adequate hydration, and a balanced diet is important. The product is not a substitute for medical treatments for skin laxity.
