Lavender Tetra-Acid Mask
Description
Meet the Lavender Tetra-Acid Mask from the Forte Illuminante Collection, a luxe addition to the Irene Forte Spa Protocol as step five.
This mask employs an Italian Triple Alpha Hydroxy Acid Complex and Azelaic Acid to exfoliate, clarify, and balance excess oils gently, yielding a brighter, more even skin tone.
It also brings the calming qualities of Jojoba Oil, Rosemary and Lavender Waters, and Zinc Oxide into the mix, replenishing and soothing your skin.
Although it's clinically approved for sensitive skin, it's ideally suited to all skin types, including those with a combination, oily, dull, or tired complexion.
Adding to its allure, the benefits don't stop at skin purification and refreshment.
The Triple AHA-Complex and Azelaic Acid Derivative deliver effective exfoliation and oil control, paving the way for a brighter, more balanced complexion.
Your skin will drink up the intense hydration from the Aloe Leaf Juice and Hyaluronic Acid, and it'll love the soothing, nourishing treat from Lavender Water, Rosemary Water, Omega-rich oils, and Multivitamins.
The inclusion of Upcycled Red Grape Skin and Upcycled Wheat Bran even lends an environmental edge to this exceptional mask.
Key Ingredients:
Triple-AHA Complex: A potent blend of Italian Alpha Hydroxy Acids - Tartaric Acid from Emilia-Romagna Grape, Malic Acid from Alto-Adige Apple, and Citric Acid from Sicilian Lemon.
This combination gently exfoliates, nourishes the skin, and stimulates the production of new fibrils in the skin, while protecting collagen.
Azelaic Acid Derivative: A unique combination of Azelaic Acid and Glycine that balances, clarifies, and brightens your complexion.
Lavender Water: A skin-friendly antioxidant that protects and soothes the skin, also boasting astringent qualities.
Rosemary Water: Abundant in antioxidants, it helps purify, balance, and soothe the skin. It also assists in lightening dark spots and blemishes, enhancing your complexion.

Dr. Francesca Ferri & Irene Forte
Under the expert guidance of Dr. Francesca Ferri, Irene Forte Skincare thrives in the intersection of scientific innovation and natural beauty.
Dr. Ferri's astounding scientific pedigree, boasting over 35 years of skincare research and development, underpins the brand's high-performing formulations.
Dr. Ferri’s achievements are truly exceptional, from the discovery of the medical benefits of extracts from Mahonia Aquifolium, to the development of a patented extraction technique for plant-based melatonin, known as Phytomelatonin, a game-changer in anti-ageing cosmetics.
One of her most notable contributions is the incorporation of Myoxinol™ into Irene Forte Skincare's formulas, a natural alternative to Botulinum toxin derived from Hibiscus Esculenta Seeds that smooths wrinkles and lines.
In Dr. Ferri's words, "I am very passionate about creating products that achieve results, preserve health, and that also have beautiful organoleptic properties... Being able to create this type of cosmetic is a very special thing, and this is why I believe fragrance is so important for a product."
This ethos, a blend of scientific rigor, sensory delight, and a commitment to 'psycho-cosmetics', embodies the core philosophy of Irene Forte Skincare, making it a skincare brand like no other.
