The breakout heals in a week. The mark it leaves hangs around for months. If your skin's mostly clear now but the jaw and chin keep leaving behind brown and red reminders — hormones love doing this after a baby — this is the ten minutes a week that quietly works on them.
Anua's Green Lemon Vita-C Blemish Serum Mask is the gentle-Vit-C route to post-acne brightening. Green lemon extract (high in vitamin C) plus niacinamide and antioxidants work on both kinds of mark: red post-inflammatory erythema and brown post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. 20 minutes, once a week. No sting, no flake, no extra step you don't have time for.
Lie down while the baby naps and let it work — a moment that's yours, and skin that looks clearer and less tired the next morning. The Vit-C entry point that doesn't ask you to commit to a $50 serum first.

Try one sheet. If your skin doesn't look brighter the next morning, email me. Refund or swap.
Vit-C brightening builds over weeks, but the after-mask glow is visible from day one. If you used this and woke up unimpressed, that's on me — refund or swap the next one, no return needed.

"My melasma routine is daily TXA serum — non-negotiable. But the post-acne marks from older breakouts needed a different approach: gentle, weekly, brightening without the daily commitment. This is my Sunday-night Vit-C ritual. The next morning my skin tone is more even, my pigmentation looks one shade lighter, and my Monday makeup goes on with less concealer."

Benefits
Targets both kinds of post-acne marks
Post-acne marks come in two flavours: red ones (post-inflammatory erythema, PIE) and brown ones (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, PIH). Most "brightening" products only target one. Green lemon Vit-C + niacinamide works on both pathways simultaneously — the red fades, the brown lightens. Weekly use shows visible improvement in 4–6 weeks.
Vit-C without the sting of ascorbic acid
Pure L-ascorbic acid serums sting, oxidise quickly, and irritate sensitive skin — especially anyone with reactive or acne-prone skin. Green lemon extract delivers vitamin C in a naturally buffered, plant-derived form. Same brightening pathway, none of the burn. The gentle Vit-C for people whose skin couldn't handle the daily harshness.
Weekly ritual — no daily-routine commitment
The reason most "treat your post-acne marks" products fail is they require daily-discipline you don't have time for. This is a 20-minute Sunday night ritual. One sheet, once a week. Easier to commit to than another bottle on the bathroom counter.
Visible next-morning brightening glow
The compounding mark-fading is the long game. But the same-night glow is the short game — skin looks brighter and more even-toned the very next morning. Use on a Sunday night for a Monday-morning skin reset. Use mid-week before a date or a wedding.
Pairs with the rest of the Anua family
If you're already using Anua's Heartleaf Toner (calming) or Niacinamide TXA Serum (daily brightening), this slots in as your weekly amplifier. Same brand formulation philosophy, designed to layer cleanly. The Sunday Vit-C boost on top of your daily Anua workhorses.

What's in this mask
The brightener
Green Lemon (Citrus Limon) Extract
Green (unripe) lemons contain meaningfully higher vitamin C than yellow ripe ones, plus a different polyphenol profile. The extract delivers Vit-C in a naturally buffered form — brightening without the irritation of pure ascorbic acid. Works on both red and brown post-acne marks via different pigment-pathway interruption mechanisms.
The barrier supporter
Niacinamide
The most-studied multi-tasker in skincare. Niacinamide strengthens the barrier, reduces transepidermal water loss, evens out tone over weeks, and amplifies vitamin C's brightening effect when paired. The combination of Vit-C + niacinamide outperforms either alone for post-acne mark fading.
The hydrators
Hyaluronic Acid + Antioxidant Complex
Hyaluronic acid keeps the mask delivering hydration alongside the actives — brightening on dehydrated skin gets you flaky results. The antioxidant complex (additional plant extracts) protects against UV-related re-darkening of the marks you're trying to fade.
Why this over a daily Vit-C serum
Same active. Gentler delivery. Easier to commit to.

How to use it
After cleanse + toner. Apply. 20 minutes. Pat in residue. Once a week.

Step 1
Cleanse + tone
Cleanse and tone as normal. Skin should be slightly damp — not wet, not dry. PM is best (Vit-C can boost UV sensitivity).
Step 2
Apply the sheet
Unfold the sheet, align with eye + mouth holes, smooth out air bubbles. Push the edges into the contours of your face so it sits flush.
Step 3
20 minutes — relax
Lying down keeps the mask in contact with skin. Don't go past 20 minutes — once it starts drying it draws moisture back from your skin instead of in.
Step 4
Remove + pat in residue
Remove the sheet. Don't rinse. Pat the leftover essence into face + neck + chest + hands. Apply moisturiser. SPF 30+ tomorrow morning — non-negotiable when using Vit-C.
Frequency: Once a week, ideally Sunday night. For stubborn post-acne marks, twice a week for the first month is fine.
Questions answered
When will I see results?
Same-night brightening glow: next morning. Subtle fading of post-acne marks: 3–4 weeks of consistent weekly use. Visible mark improvement: 6–8 weeks. Vit-C compounds — you won't see the full effect from one sheet, but you also will see something from one sheet.
Will this make my skin sun-sensitive?
Vit-C can mildly increase sun sensitivity — that's why we recommend PM use, and why SPF 30+ the next day is non-negotiable. SPF should already be daily for anyone working on pigmentation marks; without it, the marks come back as fast as you fade them.
Can I use this with my daily TXA / niacinamide serum?
Yes — pairs beautifully. If you're using Anua's daily TXA serum for melasma or our niacinamide-based products, this weekly mask layers on top as the amplifier. Use TXA/niacinamide daily, layer this mask once a week. The combination outperforms either alone.
Is this safe during pregnancy?
Yes — no retinoids, no salicylic acid, no essential oils, nothing on the pregnancy-flag list. Vitamin C is generally considered pregnancy-safe. Always patch-test if you have known sensitivity and run any new product past your GP or obstetrician first.
I have active acne — can I use this?
If you have a few active spots: yes, just avoid placing the sheet directly on a freshly-popped or broken lesion. If you have moderate-to-severe active acne: focus on treating the active first (the Anua Heartleaf Toner is calming, or see a dermatologist for prescription support). This mask is for the post-acne mark phase, once the active inflammation is mostly down.
Can I use this if I also use retinol?
Yes — just space them: retinol on alternate PM nights, this mask once a week on a non-retinol night. Avoid combining in the same evening; that's a barrier-test most skins fail. Many people do retinol Tuesday + Thursday, sheet mask Sunday.
Do I rinse after?
No — never rinse a sheet mask off. The leftover essence is the active product. Pat it into your skin and continue with moisturiser. The pouch will have leftover essence — use it on your neck, chest, and the backs of your hands.
