Mask

A Korean face mask is a sheet, hydrogel or wash-off product that adds hydration or extra care to one step of your routine. This collection is mostly hydrogel and sheet masks, with a toner-pad option and a wash-off mask.

VT Cosmetics leads the range with its PDRN Hydrogel Mask and its Reedle Shot 100 2-step hydrogel masks in Pro Cica, Vita-Light, Collagen, Reti-A and Hydrop versions. Other brands include I'm From, TONYMOLY, Skinego, Pyunkang Yul, Dear,Klairs, Needly and Mary&May.

Match the mask to the job: hydrating formulas with hyaluronic acid suit dry or tight-feeling skin, and cica formulas suit skin that tends to look red. Apply after cleansing and toner, leave on for the time shown on the pack, then press in any leftover essence. The Role of Sheet Masks in Korean Skincare explains where they fit.
