Adult Breakouts? Use Rapid Response Detox Mask For Hormonal Acne


Since my skincare beliefs are based on 9 Signature Skin Types, I don’t believe in a “one size fits all” approach to formulating products. With that being said, sometimes, a product that was formulated for one skin type can end up benefitting a lot of others, too.

That’s what happened when I formulated the Rapid Response Detox Masque. Even though it was originally intended to fight hormonal breakouts, it addresses all kinds of other skin issues, too. Because of this, it quickly became one of our best-selling products. Here are five reasons I think you might love it too!

The Benefits of the Rapid Response Detox Masque

1. It Can Help Clear Breakouts

Breakouts have a mind of their own and show up whenever and wherever they want. Skin is skin, so this mask can be used wherever your breakouts appear—no matter their type. It can work wonders on hormonal breakouts, cystic acne, period breakouts, and even body breakouts.

It’s all thanks to the ingredients. I formulated this mask with tea tree oil, salicylic acid, allantoin, and sodium hyaluronate. Together, these ingredients help clear blocked pores, limit breakout-causing bacteria, and soothe and hydrate the skin. The last part is key. Unlike other traditional acne products, this mask won’t dry out your skin or cause excess irritation. Instead, it creates a soothing environment for the skin, while simultaneously lessening breakout activity!

Simply apply a thin layer over your face once a week or every night after cleansing.

2. It Can Prevent Clogged Pores

If you get little bumps that don’t look like regular blemishes and don’t go away, they could be closed comedones (AKA clogged pores). While the only surefire way to clear pores is through manual extraction, using the right skincare products can prevent them from happening in the first place.

If clogged pores are a concern for you, I suggest incorporating exfoliating acids and the Rapid Response Detox Masque into your routine. The combination of the two will dissolve the bonds that hold expired cells to the surface of the skin (so they don’t fall into your pores and block them). It’ll also support the moisture barrier, soothe the skin, and reduce blemish-causing bacteria.

You can apply it as needed to prevent clogged pores—either once a week or as often as every day after cleansing.

3. It Can Help Minimize Redness

There are two kinds of redness this mask can address. The first is redness from blemishes. The second is redness from flushing and/or skin conditions like rosacea.

Let’s talk about redness from blemishes first. Since this mask is all about soothing and comforting the skin, it can help calm post-breakout inflammation and the redness associated with it. You can use it as a spot treatment. Once a blemish has minimized or gone away, apply a thin layer to the area before you go to sleep. I also recommend using the Post-Breakout Fading Gel a few nights a week for even faster results.

The other kind of redness is caused by over-circulation of the blood, resulting in visible dilated capillaries close to the surface of the skin. These skin types (like Skin Types 5 & 9) are often sensitive and must be treated gently. Since this mask contains soothing and hydrating ingredients, it can safely be used to treat this as well. In fact, we’ve heard wonderful things from customers who have rosacea. They’ve said Rapid Response Detox Masque helped reduce redness and calm and comfort their skin.

To help minimize redness, apply the mask once a week or anytime your skin is looking particularly flushed. You can even put the mask in the fridge before you apply it for an extra cooling experience!

4. It Can Calm Irritation

Rosacea is considered a sensitive skin condition, so if people with rosacea can use this mask, so can other sensitive skin types. In fact, I recommend it! If you’ve used harsh products, over-exfoliated, or are experiencing the initial negative side effects from retinol, this mask can help calm irritation, or, as I say, put the fire out!

Simply apply a thin layer to your skin whenever you’re in need of some serious soothing. Again, storing it in the fridge will bring you even more cooling comfort.

5. It Can Reverse Dehydration

Have you ever used traditional acne products that stripped your skin and left it feeling tight and dry? Or, maybe your skin is feeling more dehydrated than usual thanks to the change of seasons. Either way, the Rapid Response Detox Masque is a great solution. Since it contains sodium hyaluronate—the salt form of hyaluronic acid—it can restore water levels in the skin. In fact, you can use it as often as every night to balance the skin and increase hydration.

Other Uses for the Rapid Response Detox Masque

There are a couple of specific situations in which I love using the Rapid Response Detox Masque! These include airplane travel and post-wax skincare. Let’s talk about airplane travel first.

Post-Flight

Airplanes certainly don’t do your skin any favors. While a lot of people do in-flight masks to keep their skin moist and hydrated, this simply isn’t the best method. That’s because, when you’re in a plane, the dry air pulls moisture out of the skin (this is called transepidermal water loss or TEWL). If you’re adding water-based hydration to your skin and not sealing it in with an occlusive (like a moisturizer or oil), you’re pretty much fighting a losing battle. The dry air will just pull it back out again.

That’s why I recommend waiting until after you get to your destination to rehydrate your skin. After a flight, exfoliate to dissolve dry surface cells. Then, follow up with a hydrating mask. Together, they will return your skin back to a healthy state. I recommend using the Rapid/Peel Duo, which includes both the Triple Berry Smoothing Peel and the Rapid Response Detox Masque.

Post-Wax

This mask is also perfect for soothing post-wax skin—especially if you get tiny bumps, almost like a rash. This is a common inflammation response. Simply apply the mask on clean skin for a few days after waxing. It will help calm and soothe the inflammation. (On that note, read my guide to preventing ingrown hairs after waxing!)

How Often Can It Be Used?

Experiment to see how often it works best for you, but it can be used as needed. It’s important to know it only needs to stay on the skin for five minutes to effectively fight blemish-causing bacteria. However, you can use it longer to get more hydrating effects.

You can use it as often as you’d like, but it’s important to always listen to your skin. The point is to improve your skin and make it feel better!

Can I Leave It on Overnight as a Sleeping Mask?

Yes. Many of our customers use it this way. Wake up with intense hydration and start your day with a glow!

There you have it! Rapid Response Detox Masque is a jack of all trades! Originally designed for hormonal breakouts, it’s now your go-to for breakouts, redness, and hydration. It’s gentle, works for all skin types, and feels amazing. Use it as a spot treatment or hydrating mask, even post-flight or post-wax.
