Orveda is one of the few companies which is using the new, expensive Postbiotic technology in their skincare products; the Orvedaโs Visibly Brightening & Skin Perfecting Masque contains a derivative of Gallic acid (Gallic Acid is a biological active known for its anti-fungal and antioxidant properties). When the healthy bacteria living on the skin eats this derivative of Gallic acid it produces a very powerful postbiotic which has very high brightening and anti-pigmentation properties! It is clinically proven that this unique Postbiotic is 6x more effective than vitamin C and 60x more effective than kojic acid in brightening the skin. This mask is a liquidy brightening overnight treatment, contains a derivative of gallic acid which transforms into a powerful skin-brightening postbiotic active when it comes into contact with the healthy bacteria in the skin.
I believe this mask is the Orvedaโs hero product! The combination of Healing Sap and this mask can give you a glowy, radiant complexion in a week! โฃ

In summary, these products are highly concentrated with actives, amazingly formulated (light and suitable for blemished, acne prone skin), effective and the scent is incredible! Highly recommended for people who have ashy & olive tones in their skin.โฃ
