Frequently Asked Questions
Can you use an exfoliating cleanser every day?
It depends on the formula. Harsh acid or scrub-based exfoliants aren't designed for daily use and can compromise your barrier over time. Eclipse is formulated for daily use — its fruit enzyme complex and pH of 5.5 work gently enough that it functions as your regular morning or evening cleanser, with the option to leave it on for 10 minutes once or twice a week as a more intensive mask treatment. Most skin types can use it daily without irritation.
What's the difference between enzyme and acid exfoliation?
Both dissolve dead skin cells chemically rather than physically, but they work differently. AHAs and BHAs require a low pH environment to be effective, which can cause stinging, redness, or sensitivity — especially for reactive skin. Enzymes work independently of pH and are more selective in what they break down, making them gentler and better suited to daily use or sensitive skin. Eclipse is pH-optimized at 5.5 and uses fruit enzymes specifically to deliver effective exfoliation without the harshness of acid-based formulas.
Can face masks expire?
Yes — face masks contain active ingredients that degrade over time, particularly enzyme-based formulas where fruit-derived AHAs lose potency as they break down. Eclipse has a shelf life of 12 months once opened. The preservative system uses sodium levulinate and sodium anisate — natural, effective preservation that maintains the formula's integrity throughout that period.
Are face masks supposed to burn or tingle?
A mild tingling is normal with enzyme or AHA-based masks, particularly on first use. Burning, however, is not — it signals the formula is too acidic or your skin is sensitized. Eclipse is pH-optimized at 5.5, matching your skin's natural acid mantle, which is specifically why it exfoliates effectively without causing the burning or irritation associated with stronger acid treatments. If you feel significant discomfort, rinse immediately.
Do face masks actually work?
Yes, when formulated correctly. The key is matching the mask to what your skin actually needs. Eclipse uses fruit-derived enzymes from bilberry, sugar cane, orange, lemon, and sugar maple to chemically dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells — a process that's well-supported by research on alpha hydroxy acids. The difference between a mask that works and one that doesn't is usually pH and the concentration of actives.
How often should you use a face mask?
For most skin types, once or twice a week as an exfoliating treatment is ideal. Eclipse is gentle enough to use daily as a regular facial cleanser — simply rinse after a minute or two — or left on for 10 minutes as a weekly mask for deeper exfoliation. Oily or congested skin can tolerate more frequent masking; sensitive skin should start once weekly and adjust.
Why is exfoliating important?
Skin naturally sheds dead cells every 28–40 days, but that cycle slows with age, stress, and environmental exposure — leaving skin looking dull and feeling rough. Regular exfoliation clears that buildup, improving texture, allowing skincare products to absorb more effectively, and supporting a more even skin tone over time. Enzyme exfoliants like Eclipse are particularly well-suited to sensitive skin because they work biochemically rather than through physical abrasion.
