What it does
- Lets you test gentle renewing texture care before committing to the full size.
- Packs enough for roughly 5–8 mask nights depending on amount used.
- Fits weekenders and gym bags without a bulky jar.
- Same next-morning softer feel goal as the full mask when used as directed.
How it works
- Same chassis as the full Microbiome Renewing Cream Mask: cream warms toward a light oil on massage.
- PHA (gluconolactone) + enzyme support for soft surface polish.
- Ferment + ceramide comfort so the finish stays calm rather than stripped.
- Short contact + rinse for first uses; longer only after tolerance is proven.

How to use
- Routine step
- Treatment mask (evening) — trial size
- Amount
- Pea-to-nickel layer
- Frequency
- 1–3× per week (evening)
- When
- Evening · 1–3× weekly
- 1On clean, dry skin, apply a thin even layer — avoid eyelids and lips.
- 2Massage 30–60 seconds as the cream turns silkier / lightly oily.
- 3First uses: leave 5–10 minutes, then tissue or rinse with lukewarm water.
- 4If tolerated later, extend toward 15–20 minutes (not required for the trial).
- 5Follow with a simple moisturizer. Skip strong retinoids and high-strength acids the same night.
- 6Use 1–3× weekly. Morning after: moisturizer + SPF.
Usage notes
- Amount: about a pea-to-nickel layer — the trial jar is small, so start thin.
- Always short-contact on first use.
- If stinging is intense, rinse immediately and stop.
- Upgrade to the 100 ml jar if you finish the trial and want the same ritual regularly.
Patch test
- 1Apply a thin layer to the inner forearm.
- 2Leave for the planned facial contact time (e.g. 10 minutes), then rinse.
- 3Wait 24 hours before facial use if you are reactive.
