Obagi Professional-C Microdermabrasion Polish and Mask | 30% Vitamin C Treatment

Thirty percent L-Ascorbic Acid is higher than anything available in a daily-use leave-on Vitamin C serum. The reason it is possible at this concentration is the anhydrous (waterless) formula and the rinse-off format: both preserve the stability and potency of the L-Ascorbic Acid for maximum activity at the moment of application, then remove it before the concentration that produces such significant results at a single use could cause irritation with prolonged leave-on contact.

Obagi Professional-C Microdermabrasion Polish and Mask combines ultra-fine crystal physical exfoliation with 30% L-Ascorbic Acid application in a dual-action single-step treatment. The crystals exfoliate and prime the surface for optimal Vitamin C absorption. The mask delivers maximum-concentration Vitamin C directly to freshly revealed skin for dramatically brighter, smoother, more radiant skin in 10 to 15 minutes. Used 2 to 3 times per week as a treatment step, it delivers Vitamin C results that no daily serum can match in terms of single-session impact.

Who Is It For?

• Normal, combination and oily skin wanting intensive Vitamin C treatment beyond daily serum concentrations
• Dull, uneven or photodamaged skin needing intensive brightening intervention 2 to 3 times per week
• Those in Professional-C programmes wanting an intensive treatment to amplify daily serum results
• Those preparing for events wanting a dramatic brightening result from a single application
• Those on GLP-1 medications wanting intensive antioxidant treatment sessions alongside daily protection

How Does It Work?

Ultra-fine crystals gently exfoliate the surface layer of dead, dull skin cells, removing accumulated debris and priming the skin surface for maximum Vitamin C penetration. The 30% L-Ascorbic Acid anhydrous mask is then applied to freshly exfoliated skin, delivering the highest concentration Vitamin C treatment available at the surface level for maximum antioxidant activity, brightening through tyrosinase inhibition and collagen synthesis support in a single 10 to 15 minute application.

Key Ingredients

• L-Ascorbic Acid 30%: The highest Vitamin C concentration in the Professional-C range, delivered in an anhydrous formula that maintains stability and potency for maximum single-application brightening, antioxidant activity and collagen support.
• Ultra-fine crystals: Physical exfoliation that removes surface dead skin cells and primes the skin for optimal 30% Vitamin C absorption and efficacy.
• Sea Berry Fruit Oil, Sunflower Seed Wax and Soybean Oil: Condition and nourish the skin during the treatment to maintain comfort throughout the exfoliation and mask application.

How We Use It at Face for Soul

As a pharmacist prescriber specialising in skin health, Professional-C Polish and Mask is the intensive Vitamin C treatment I recommend 2 to 3 times per week for patients in brightening programmes who want to amplify their daily serum results with a higher-concentration treatment step. The combination of exfoliation and 30% Vitamin C in one step produces a visible brightening result from every use that motivates consistent treatment compliance.

How to Use

Apply a thin, even layer to clean, damp skin avoiding the eye area. Gently massage in small circles for the exfoliation step, then leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. A slight tingling sensation is normal. Wipe off and rinse thoroughly with warm water. Use 2 to 3 times per week. Not recommended for use alongside retinol or tretinoin products on the same evening. Not recommended for sensitive skin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use it on sensitive skin?
No. The combination of physical exfoliation and 30% L-Ascorbic Acid is not appropriate for sensitive, dry or reactive skin types. This product is formulated for normal, combination and oily skin. For sensitive skin, Professional-C Serum 10% is the appropriate Vitamin C approach.

Can I use it the same evening as tretinoin?
No. Do not use alongside retinol or tretinoin on the same evening. If using tretinoin in your programme, use the Polish and Mask on evenings when you are not applying tretinoin.

Is it pregnancy safe?
No established pregnancy contraindications for L-Ascorbic Acid. Consult your midwife or obstetrician.

Used consistently 2 to 3 times per week it significantly amplifies the results of the daily Professional-C serum programme.
