Abib Glow Collagen Mask Glutathione Film 38g X 4ea
Twenty minutes before you need to look awake.
Niacinamide fifth, with four vitamin C forms and six B vitamins behind it.
A film you peel, not a wet sheet.
What this mask does
A 38 g hydrogel film mask, four to a box, built on a Chondrus Crispus gel with Collagen, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Glutathione and Niacinamide, and closed with a full B-complex and four vitamin C derivatives.
The vitamin block at the end
Read the last ten entries and you find something unusual: Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, Ascorbyl Glucoside, Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Ascorbic Acid — four different vitamin C forms, each with its own stability and release behaviour — followed by Biotin, Cyanocobalamin, Folic Acid, Pyridoxine, Riboflavin and Thiamine. That is B7, B12, B9, B6, B2 and B1.
They sit at the bottom of the list, so none is present in large amounts. But putting six B vitamins and four C forms into a sheet mask is a formulation decision, not an accident, and it is worth knowing you are getting it.
Why it comes with films on both sides
This is a hydrogel, not a soaked cotton sheet. Chondrus Crispus — Irish moss — appears twice, with carob gum, glucomannan and xanthan gum, and together they set into a self-supporting jelly. It arrives with a plastic film on each face, and the instructions say to peel both. The gel holds its own moisture, so it will not dry out and start taking water back off your face at minute fifteen.
Key ingredients
Ingredient · What it is, and what it is used for
- Collagen
- Structural protein. Too large to pass the surface; sits as a film that holds water.
- Hydrolyzed Collagen
- Collagen broken into fragments small enough to stay dissolved. It holds water at the surface — it does not become your collagen, and nothing applied to skin does.
- Glutathione
- Tripeptide of glutamate, cysteine and glycine. An antioxidant the body makes for itself; in a jar it is protecting the rest of the formula as much as your skin.
- Niacinamide
- Vitamin B3. Studied for evening out the look of tone, for the look of pores, and for breakout-prone skin — which is why it turns up in so much of this catalogue.
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Stable vitamin C salt. Used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin.
- Ascorbyl Glucoside
- Glucoside-stabilised vitamin C. Slows oxidation, in the formula and on skin.
- Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate
- Magnesium salt of vitamin C phosphate. Slows oxidation, in the formula and on skin.
- Ascorbic Acid
- Pure vitamin C. The most studied form and the least stable one — which is why the rest of a list like this is built to protect it.
- Ceramide NP
- Ceramide 3. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own.
- Adenosine
- Purine nucleoside. One of the few ingredients Korea approves a wrinkle-care claim for.
- Allantoin
- Heterocyclic diureide. Used to calm irritation.
- Chondrus Crispus
- Irish moss, a red alga. Sets how thick it is — what makes this a hydrogel rather than a wet sheet.
How the formula works together
The gel matrix is the delivery system and most of the mass. Inside it, three things are happening: the collagen pair holds water as a film, Glutathione with the four C forms covers the antioxidant and tone side, and Niacinamide with Adenosine does the signalling work.
Ceramide NP and Hydrogenated Lecithin are the only lipids, in small amounts — enough to keep the finish from feeling bare, not enough to make a gel mask greasy.
Thirty-eight ingredients, no fragrance and no essential oil on the list.
Who it is for
Worth checking before you buy: The vitamin C and B block sits at the tail of a thirty-eight ingredient list.
Labelled for all skin types, aimed at dullness and uneven tone. Contains multiple vitamin C forms; use in the evening if your skin is sun-sensitive.
How to use it
- Cleanse, then prepare with toner.
- Open the pouch and peel the film from both sides of the upper and lower sheets.
- Fit each half to the face and leave for about 20 minutes.
- Remove and pat in what remains.
