Product Details

When skin feels flushed, reactive, or visibly red, it needs more than hydration: it needs targeted calming care.

Our Redness Calming Mask is an intensive treatment designed to visibly reduce redness while restoring balance and comfort to sensitive skin. The creamy, comforting formula helps cool the look of irritation and support a healthier-looking complexion without heaviness or pore congestion.

Ideal for reactive, stressed, or environmentally challenged skin, this mask works to replenish moisture and reinforce the skin’s natural resilience. With continued use, skin appears more even-toned, balanced, and calm.

Use it up to 3 times a week, overnight whenever you can.

Key Benefits

  • Restores Skin Balance / Supports a more even, healthy-looking tone.
  • Deeply Hydrating / Replenishes moisture without clogging pores.
  • Ideal for Sensitive Skin / Gentle enough for reactive or redness-prone skin.
  • Use as a Weekly Reset / Perfect after sun exposure, weather stress, or irritation.

Key ingredients

  • Hinokitiol
    A naturally derived antioxidant from the Pacific red cedar tree. Known for its clarifying properties, hinokitiol helps leave the complexion looking visibly even-toned and healthy.

  • Multi-Ceramide Blend

  • Squalane
    Originally used to heal wounds, this plant-based antioxidant hydrator is easily absorbed by the skin and moisturizes without feeling overly oily.

  • Niacinamide
    AKA Vitamin B3, a multitasking antioxidant working to prevent moisture loss, and smooth surface texture to brighten skin. Niacinamide has been shown in double-blind, randomized trials to be nearly as effective as prescription ingredients at reducing discoloration and age spots.

  • Glycyrrhetinic Acid
    A compound isolated from licorice root, this antioxidant helps soothe the look of redness. In trials, glycyrrhetinic acid has shown a significant reduction in irritation and inflammation for redness-prone sensitive skin.

  • Tiger Grass (Centella asiatica)
    Tiger grass is a clinically studied plant extract known for its soothing and barrier-supporting properties. It helps reduce the look of irritation, support skin hydration and minimize transepidermal water loss. Research has also highlighted its antioxidant and skin-replenishing benefits.

  • Aloe Vera
    Aloe vera helps soothe skin while supporting its natural moisture barrier. Rich in polysaccharides and phytosterols, it helps reduce moisture loss and keep skin feeling calm and comfortable.

 

DIRECTIONS & PRODUCT GUIDE

 

FAQ

 

Redness Calming Mask FAQ

Will it calm my redness?

Yes, it's designed to visibly reduce redness and help flushed, reactive skin look calmer, and it suits dry, dehydrated skin too. Use it overnight whenever you can: its ceramides, fatty acids and cholesterol help reduce moisture loss while you sleep. It's skincare, not a treatment for rosacea, so keep using anything your doctor has prescribed.

Is it made for sensitive skin?

Yes. Developed by Dr. Rivers for sensitive skin, it's formulated without parabens and without added fragrance, including masking scents. Fragrance is one of the most common causes of skin irritation. Its creamy formula helps calm the look of flushed, reactive skin and replenishes moisture. Your first full-product order is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee.

Is it too rich for oily or breakout-prone skin?

No, not as a 30-minute mask, which the directions recommend for normal to combination skin: apply an even layer, leave it on for at least 30 minutes, then rinse with cool water. Overnight use is for redness-prone skin that needs more moisture.

How long do I leave it on?

Overnight if your skin is redness-prone: after cleansing and serum, apply an even layer and rinse with cool water in the morning. For normal to combination skin, leave it on for at least 30 minutes, rinse with cool water, then follow with serum and moisturizer.

How often should I use it, and how long does one jar last?

Up to 3 times a week, as either a 30-minute mask or an overnight treatment. At 3 times a week, the 50 mL jar lasts about 4 months. More product won't give you better results, and too much can pill or feel heavy. That's how long it takes to use up, not how long it keeps once opened.

Can I use it after the Glycolic Peel?

Yes, it's a natural pairing: the Peel Travel Pack puts them together. Rinse the peel off after 20 minutes, pat dry, then apply the mask, for 30 minutes the first time, then overnight if you like. Keep retinol for another evening.

Can I use it with retinol?

Yes, and its ceramides and niacinamide add comfort while your skin adjusts to retinol. Overnight: apply your retinol to dry skin, wait 10 minutes, then the mask in place of your moisturizer. As a 30-minute mask: use it first, rinse, then your serum, retinol and moisturizer.

What is hinokitiol?

Hinokitiol is our signature antioxidant, found naturally in the Pacific Red Cedar and studied for decades. It's a natural antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant with other skin-revitalizing properties, and in our formulas it helps to even skin tone, reduce the look of sun damage and correct dark spots.
