The Refresh Mint
This Product Is: a concentrated, exfoliating mint facial mask
Good For: all skin types, especially dull, blemish prone and dry skin
Why We Love It: Maya Chia The Refresh Mint is a beautiful blue face mask that combines four different types of acids and enzymes, which work together to resurface, brighten and moisturize the skin. This face mask is formulated to be gentle, yet effective, and works to transform a dull complexion into glowing, nourished skin.
After cleansing your skin thoroughly, apply a thin layer to clean skin. Slight tingling is to be expected as the mask works to exfoliate and resurface the skin. Leave on until the mask is completely dry. Rinse with warm water. For sensitive skin, please perform a patch test on your inner wrist prior to using.
Tips for usage: For the first week, use every other day for optimal results. Then use the Refresh Mint 2 to 3 times per week to maintain results. Follow mask with The Optimist Hydrating Essence and The Super Couple, The Supercritical Omega-3 facial oil or The Super Blend for optimal results.
Sensitivity & Sunburn Alert: This product is quite active, as it contains four acids; for people with sensitive skin, we recommend testing this product on a small patch of skin first, and then leaving it on for a shorter time (ie before it dries), until your skin gets used to it. Discontinue use if allergic reaction occurs. Since it contains an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), which may increase your skin’s sensitivity to the sun and particularly the possibility of sunburn, use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.

What's Behind "Fragrance"?
US law does not require that companies be transparent about the ingredients in fragrance/parfum. Credo believes in your right-to-know. We require all brands to categorize the fragrance in each product (see chart above), and encourage brands to fully disclose all scent ingredients.
All products are cruelty-free and formulated without ingredients on The Dirty List™️. At Credo, "clean" goes even deeper. Learn more.
