Knesko has reformulated its Black Pearl Detox Mask and rebranded it as Pearl Renew.

The upgraded treatment combines Knesko’s Gemclinical technology (using hydrolysed black pearls with a collagen hydrogel) but the mask now has a shimmering blue hue.

Described by the brand as “Instagrammable”, the blue mask uses a duo of mandelic acid and lactobionic acid to deliver a “glass-skin” finish. 

Mandelic acid is an AHA derived from bitter almonds. It is known as a refining acid that is used to offer visible results with minimal irritation, according to the brand.

Lactobionic acid is an advanced PHA for sensitive, reactive or post-procedure skin.

The AHA/PHA blend is used to smooth skin texture and is designed to support natural renewal for all skin types and ages.

Knesko says the newly formulated serum improves moisture retention.

The mask is designed to be left on the skin for 15 minutes. Knesko says the formula is  Reiki-charged and Root Chakra-balancing. The retail mask comes with a grounding meditation that is guided by Knesko’s founder and president, Lejla Cas.

Cas said: “Innovation is at the heart of everything we create for our spa partners and their guests. With Pearl Renew, we set out to develop a gentle weekly ritual that helps the skin look smoother, brighter and more refreshed – while feeling calming and grounded. 

“The addition of mandelic and lactobionic acids brings a refined, renewed-looking complexion,” added Cas. “The soft ice-blue hue symbolises clarity and the Root Chakra energy that inspired the collection.”
