What it is

A calming sheet mask that combines centella actives with panthenol and humectants to soothe visible redness, support barrier-feel comfort, and hydrate with a light, refreshing essence.

Who it's for

  • Sensitive, redness-prone, or tired-looking skin needing soothing moisture.
  • Normal, combination, or oily skin types preferring a non-greasy mask essence.
  • Anyone seeking a calming step before makeup or after travel and sun exposure.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Centella-derived actives (e.g., Madecassoside/Asiaticoside derivatives) — soothe and support comfort.
  • Panthenol — helps retain moisture and calm skin feel.
  • Humectants (e.g., glycerin, sodium hyaluronate) — attract and hold water.
  • Soothing agents (e.g., allantoin) — buffer and calm the hydrating essence.

Free-from / texture

  • Soft sheet soaked in a watery-gel essence; cooling feel.
  • Low oil content; check INCI for personal fragrance sensitivities.
  • Leaves a dewy, non-sticky finish after removal and patting in.

How to use & order

  • After cleansing/toner, apply the sheet mask, adjust to face, and leave on for 10–20 minutes.
  • Remove and gently pat in remaining essence; follow with moisturizer to seal hydration.
  • Use 2–3 times weekly or as needed; finish with sunscreen in the daytime.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Generally low conflict; pair with actives by using this as a calming buffer on non-active days.
  • If using strong acids/retinoids, keep this step separate if skin is sensitized.
  • Patch test if reactive to centella derivatives or humectant-rich masks.

Evidence & notes

  • Soothing and glow are cosmetic; consistent hydration and sealing with moisturizer help maintain the effect.
  • Centella derivatives and panthenol support temporary comfort and barrier-feel resilience.
  • Use on slightly damp skin and seal with cream to reduce transepidermal water loss.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Patch test before first use, especially if you have sensitive or compromised skin.
  • Avoid using on broken skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; defer to your physician for personal guidance.
