PRODUCT REVIEW: KPS ESSENTIALS VITAMIN C FACE & BODY TREATMENT – BEST VITAMIN C MASK, BEST BRIGHTENING MASK
KPS ESSENTIALS | VITAMIN C FACE & BODY TREATMENT
The holidays are literally days away now. Thanksgiving is in just over two weeks. Christmas and New Year’s are in sight, too. Of course, with the pandemic still burning hot in the US, there won’t be much communing. I’m still trying to decide if I’ll even go anywhere for Christmas this year. It doesn’t feel right yet.
But that doesn’t mean I’m not thinking about gifts. And you know I love to give skincare for every occasion!
I’ve now shopped the Sephora Beauty Insider sale three times. If you didn’t catch my article two weeks ago on Cool Sephora Beauty Insider Grabs, you can read it here. In addition to new skincare treats for myself, I picked up a few things for loved ones.
The holidays are the perfect time to discover new skincare products. I love all the gift sets, in particular. And I’m excited to share one of my early holiday discoveries from one of my favorite clinical skincare brands, KPS Essentials.
The KPS Essentials Flight of Masques “Private Jet” is an extraordinary collection of masking delights for every imaginable texture preference and skin concern! There are five natural, organic mask treatments — for all the exfoliating, purifying, brightening, hydrating and skin health-boosting you need most during the holidays. Don’t want all five? There are two slimmed down versions with fewer masks and, of course, you can grab just one, too!
Let’s take a look at one of my faves from the KPS Essentials mask collection…

KPS Essentials | Vitamin C Face & Body Treatment
There’s something so surprisingly pampering about this mask. When you open the jar of the KPS Essentials Vitamin C Face & Body Treatment, you’re overcome by the wonderful smell of cocoa and orange. I love, love, love chocolate and fruit together! Those chocolates with the fruit jelly filling are always my favorites. (I know, a lot of people aren’t fans!)
KPS’s Vitamin C mask is a rather simple, elegant formula with a very tight INCI — four ingredients in all. It’s simply one of the best Vitamin C masks for brightening the complexion.
The first ingredient is super replenishing Coconut Oil. I know many people prefer to avoid it as it can often be comedogenic. But not me! I love the rich natural emollient oil. And, honestly, if you’re concerned about clogged pores, you should be using a potent Niacinamide serum along with a Salicylic Acid treatment both AM and PM. Coconut Oil avoidance is no plan for clogged pores.
There’s brightening Vitamin C, as the name indicates, in the form of Ascorbyl Glucoside — the purest and most potent form of the power antioxidant. For added Vitamin C, there’s Tangerine Oil.
But the Vitamin C Face & Body Treatment’s wonderfully sweet aroma comes from the antioxidant Cacao Seed Butter — rich in minerals magnesium, manganese, iron, zinc, and copper that help to rebalance the skin by helping to disperse hydration throughout the skin’s layers.
Cacao Seed Butter is extracted from cocoa beans, and is a superb emollient on the skin — similar to Shea Butter. It’s also “a rich source of antioxidant polyphenols,” according to the Paula’s Choice Research Team.
Vitamin C Face & Body Treatment has a rich, oily texture that applies more like a thick body oil. When warmed on the skin, it melts like butter and feels velvety and decadent. It’s the kind of treatment you want to leave on all day, perfect for chilling at home on a cold, winter’s day when you have no desire to go outside — and even less desire to remove this wonderful treatment from your face.
It’s a truly effortless experience. Leave it on long enough and it just melts into the skin. Or, remove it after a few hours with a warm, damp cloth. Trust me, it’s such a rich, pampering treat for skin that you won’t want to remove it! Your skin will feel super soft and hydrated in the driest of weather.
