Product Details
Carboxy Bubble Mask Kit is a 2-step CO₂ brightening mask system made in Korea, built for radiance without a full peel. The Step 1 Gel (pH 9) carries Sodium Bicarbonate and the Step 2 Sheet (pH 3) carries Lactic, Citric, Gluconolactone, and Lactobionic acids. The moment they touch, the acid-base reaction releases CO₂ bubbles at the skin surface, felt as warmth and tingling, and leaves sodium lactate and sodium citrate behind as humectants. Because the two steps neutralize each other on the skin, the mask is gentler than a standalone acid mask. CO₂ is a natural vasodilator: capillaries widen and more blood reaches the area, and higher CO₂ helps hemoglobin release oxygen to the surrounding tissue (the Bohr effect), which shows as a visible pink flush and a brighter, fresher-looking complexion. Lactic and Citric acid (AHA) lead exfoliation and brightening, while Gluconolactone and Lactobionic acid (PHA) penetrate slowly, suit reactive skin, and add humectant and antioxidant support. Lemon Fruit Water and Extract support brightening, an 8-form Hyaluronic Acid complex in both steps hydrates and plumps, and Panthenol, Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Betaine, Trehalose, and Polyglutamic Acid support the barrier and keep the skin calm. Very low comedogenic, with no oils or butters, and paraben-free and isothiazolinone-free. Ideal for dull or sallow, dehydrated, normal, combination, congestion-prone, and mature or peri/postmenopausal skin. Topical CO₂ is a surface treatment and works differently from injected or gas carboxytherapy: the glow comes from transient vasodilation, acid exfoliation, and humectant plumping.
How to Use
Apply the Step 1 Gel to clean skin. Place the Step 2 Sheet over the gel on the forehead, nose, and upper cheeks, working out from the eyes. Rest for about 10 minutes, then remove and rinse with lukewarm water or a warm towel. Warmth, tingling, and a pink flush are expected; the tingling typically settles within 2 minutes and the flush fades after the mask is removed.
