Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testThe ultimate hydrating powerhouse, Ameliorate's Restorative Facial Mask not only delivers intense moisture but also prevents overnight moisture loss to reveal beautifully cushiony, dewy skin come morning. The clever formula is infused with the brand’s unique LAH6 Skin Hydration Complex — a blend of natural moisturising factors, humectants, hydrating milk protein and soothing oat, combined at an optimal level to ‘lock in’ hydration and leave scaly skin feeling smooth and replenished. Hyaluronic acid provides instant hydration and soothing relief to parched skin as it works to improve the appearance of rough skin, while the ProRenew complex (a.k.a. lactococcus ferment lysate) helps to stimulate the natural renewal process of your skin and bolster barrier function. The finishing touch is plant-derived squalane: it mimic your skin's lipids and seals in moisture to reveal supple, soft finish. Dreamy!
Restorative Facial Mask is a lightweight overnight mask from Ameliorate. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 42 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Glycerin, Butylene Glycol and Ethylhexylglycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: Very high. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Urea.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Oleic/linoleic/linolenic Polyglycerides, Squalane, Ceramide NP and Ceramide AP.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate, Sodium Benzoate, Allantoin and Sodium Hyaluronate.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Several ingredients carry irritation flags. If your skin is reactive, this is one to patch test carefully or approach slowly.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, oil control and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free, sulfate-free and dye-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain fragrance and essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
Use it in the evening. In a routine it goes last step at night. Apply as the final layer so nothing has to push through it.
