freemay Vegan Yellow Vitamin Ampoule Mask

What is this product?

A Korean vegan sheet mask, 27 ml of essence per sheet, sold singly or in tens. The statutory table files it as a dual functional cosmetic for brightening and wrinkles, and the 41-entry list carries niacinamide at 5, adenosine at 19 and retinol at 40. The eight vitamins the brand advertises are all listed, seven of them in the last ten places. No fragrance entry and no exfoliating acid. A primary irritation patch test on this mask read 0.000 on 30 people; tone, gloss and moisture charts show changes immediately after use. Not for people avoiding retinoids.

What makes it different?

Within the brand's colour-line ampoule masks, this is the vitamin mask with a dual brightening and wrinkle filing: it lists niacinamide at 5 and retinol at 40, neither of which appears in the three sibling masks' landed records, while all four list adenosine. Its irritation patch test names the product itself.
