Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Vitamin C form L-Ascorbyl-2-Magnesium Phosphate instead of regular Vitamin C?
L-Ascorbyl-2-Magnesium Phosphate (AMP) is a highly stable Vitamin C derivative that does not oxidise as rapidly as pure L-ascorbic acid. It is also less acidic and less irritating, making it ideal for sheet mask formulations where the essence stays in contact with skin for 20 minutes. AMP is enzymatically converted to active Vitamin C in skin cells, delivering brightening and collagen-stimulating benefits without stinging or redness.
This mask says "1 piece" — is it really just one sheet?
Yes. La Mente C Pla is sold as an individual single-use sheet mask — the professional salon format. In Japanese clinics, one mask per treatment session is standard. Many customers buy multiple units for regular use or to try the product before committing to a multi-pack.
How does this mask compare to standard drugstore sheet masks?
La Mente C Pla is a professional-grade mask formulated with concentrated actives (placenta extract, stable Vitamin C, HA, multi-vitamin mineral complex) at therapeutic concentrations used in Japanese aesthetic clinics. Standard drugstore masks typically contain significantly lower active concentrations and simpler formulations. The 26 ml per sheet essence load is considerably higher than most mass-market masks.
Can I use this mask immediately before or after other La Mente products?
Yes. La Mente C Pla pairs well with other La Mente serums and treatments. A common professional protocol is: cleanse → tone → C Pla mask (20 min) → La Mente serum → moisturiser. Do not layer another Vitamin C product immediately after, as the cumulative concentration may increase sensitivity.
Is the placenta extract in this mask the same as in Melsmon injections?
No. Melsmon's pharmaceutical injections use human placenta extract under Japanese medical regulation. La Mente C Pla uses hydrolyzed horse (equine) placenta extract in a cosmetic formulation — a completely separate product category with different regulatory standards and source material.
