Aren't there too many "the" in this sentence?

The“star” of the active ingredients present in the mask: CAVIAR which contains all substances necessary for maintaining youthful appearance of the skin, regenerates tissues and promotes collagen production.

Are the underlined parts okay? and is the sentence gramatically correct?

Thank you a lot!

You have to put articles where they are required. You can hardly have too many. In fact, another one is needed before "youthful appearance", and possibly also before "substances".

Also, a comma is needed after "CAVIAR". A noun phrase is expected after the colon, whereas a full clause is present. There is a missing space near the start.

Sorry, I misread it. The part after the colon actually can be read as a noun phrase.
