Can I use Avant Guard with exfoliating products or other strong actives?
Important: Do not use Avant Guard over prescription treatments (ex: tretinoin), exfoliating products (ex: glycolic acid toner), or other actives that can be irritating on their own (ex: retinol). Avant Guard uses occlusion to aid in product absorption. Occlusion is a powerful force, and could lead to these actives irritating your skin for than normally if applied under Avant Guard. We suggest using these actives after your masking session!
Can I sleep in Avant Guard?
We recommend using Avant Guard for shorter term bursts of occlusion to help enhance product absorption and increase skin hydration. We don’t recommend you wear this mask for more than 8 hours though, some studies suggest that longer term occlusion (>8 hours) can disrupt your skin barrier, so this could be a case of “too much of a good thing.”Do your own experiments to see how long you like to wear Avant Guard for, you can try a nap if you’re curious!

How Avant Guard Works
Occlusion is the secret ingredient. Occlusive ingredients, or materials, put a protective layer over the skin that keeps moisture from evaporating out of your skin (aka Transepidermal Water Loss) Avant Guard is a silicone occlusive that effectively stops transepidermal water loss for skin that’s more plump, hydrated, and happy after use.
Best reusable face mask...

Best reusable face mask on the market! I love using my favourite hydrating serum and putting this mask on to allow the serum to really hydrate my skin. Easy to clean and I just store in the bag it came in. Great purchase!
Moisturized and smooth

My face feels so moisturized and smooth after using my Avant Guard with my Super Saturated Serum! I also wore my Softwear lip treatment and I felt like I just left a facial! I love it so much and can’t wait to try more products from Experiment Beauty.

Ive had this mask 6+ months and it will be a part of my routine forever. Not only is it obviously super effective but it cuts out the ridiculous waste of single use skin products. I actually got it to sleep in when i want to slug it up right before bed so all my product doesn't just rub off on my pillows and I am able to sleep comfortably in it. I use it with the super saturated serum a lot and they are a dream team for my extremely sensitive skin
