All our beauty efforts are directed towards one objective and that is clear skin. And when we say clear skin, we mean skin that is free of blemishes, ageing spots, fine lines, pimples and dry patches. And to address them all, what you need are vitamin face masks.

Vitamin capsules are highly concentrated and as such work faster. However, not just any capsule is going to bring about the desired result.

You need to understand your skin type and its unique problems. And later invest time in research, as to how a given vitamin capsule or pill works to treat the problem.

For instance, aspirin is highly concentrated in salicylic acid, which soothes puss-filled acne and reduces marks.

Similarly, vitamin E has a high ratio of antioxidants, which clarifies skin of the impurities, lightens skin tone and gives it a radiant glow.

However, the real point of concern is, how much is too much? Is it skin-safe? And how fast can you see the results?

So that's why we've listed out the specific amount to be used for each pack, and depending on your skin type, you can tweak the amount.

It is recommendable to patch test the pack first to eliminate the possibility of allergies or side effects.

When used consistently, these packs can show results anywhere between 15 and 30 days, so try them out.
