MEDIHEAL
MEDIHEAL Derma Modeling Pack Hyaluronate Moisture
The clinic modeling pack, at your own sink.
A bowl, a spatula, cold water and fifteen minutes — then it lifts off in one piece.
Cool, dense, faintly herbal.
What this pack does
A two-part modeling pack — a 50 ml ampoule plus a rubber mask powder you mix yourself — with five hyaluronates, snow mushroom polysaccharide and three forms of vitamin B5.
How a modeling pack works
You pour cold water into the bowl to the marked line, tip in the powder, stir with the spatula and apply immediately. Fifteen minutes later it has cured into a flexible rubber sheet you lift off in one piece.
The format exists for occlusion. A sealed rubber layer stops water leaving for the whole wear, which is why the ampoule goes on first and why the instructions tell you to apply it again afterwards. The pack is the lid; the ampoule is what is being held underneath it.
The oils, said plainly
Positions 22 to 33 contain Pelargonium Graveolens (Geranium) Flower Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Anthemis Nobilis (Roman Chamomile) Flower Oil, Pogostemon Cablin (Patchouli) Oil, Juniperus Mexicana (Cedarwood) Oil, Copaifera Officinalis (Copaiba Balsam) Resin and Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Peel Oil.
That is a designed aromatherapy blend — six oils and a resin, chosen the way a perfumer chooses, not the way a formulator picks an active. It is what makes using this feel like a spa treatment, and that is a legitimate thing to want.
It is also a lot of botanical volatiles to seal under an occlusive rubber layer for fifteen minutes, which concentrates the exposure rather than letting it evaporate. If your skin reacts to essential oils, this is the product in the range to avoid.
Three forms of vitamin B5, which is unusual
Panthenol at six is provitamin B5. Pantolactone at fourteen is a precursor that converts to pantothenic acid. Pantothenic Acid at twenty-six is vitamin B5 itself.
Most formulas carry one. Carrying all three is a deliberate choice — they convert and release on different timescales, so the intention is a longer window rather than a single hit. Panthenol at position six is the one that matters most by amount.
The snow mushroom
Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide at twenty-four is worth knowing about. Tremella is the white jelly fungus used in Chinese cooking and medicine, and its polysaccharide holds a comparable amount of water to hyaluronic acid with a smaller particle size — so it forms a lighter film. It is more expensive than hyaluronic acid and much less often used.
A note on the ingredient list
Our source cuts off mid-name at the forty-first entry: Caprylic/Capric — almost certainly Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, a light emollient. Everything before it is legible and is published below as given. If you need the complete declaration, message us and we will photograph the box.
Key ingredients
Ingredient · What it is, and what it is used for
- Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide
- Polysaccharide from snow mushroom. Holds water comparably to hyaluronic acid, with a lighter film.
- Panthenol
- Provitamin B5. Used to calm irritation, and pulls water into the surface and holds it there.
- Pantolactone
- Lactone precursor that converts to pantothenic acid. The second B5 form here.
- Pantothenic Acid
- Vitamin B5 itself. The third form.
- Aminobutyric Acid
- GABA. Uncommon on a cosmetic label. Tenth on this list.
- Glyceryl Glucoside
- Glycerin bound to glucose. An osmolyte — the class of compound plants use to survive drying out.
- Sodium Hyaluronate
- Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it.
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer
- Cross-linked hyaluronate. The cross-linking stops it washing away as fast as the plain form, so it keeps working on the surface for longer.
- Hedera Helix (Ivy) Leaf/Stem Extract
- Extract of common ivy. Uncommon in skincare; listed as skin-conditioning agent.
- Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil
- Jojoba — a liquid wax rather than an oil, which is why it sits light. Softens the surface.
- Cucumis Melo (Melon) Fruit Extract
- Extract of melon fruit.
- Taraxacum Officinale (Dandelion) Rhizome/Root Extract
- Extract of dandelion root.
How the formula works together
The ampoule is aqueous and light. Water, two glycols and glycerin form the base; Carbomer, an acryloyldimethyltaurate copolymer and a glyceryl acrylate copolymer give it body; Arginine neutralises the carbomer and sets pH.
The water-binding work is spread across five hyaluronates (20, 36, 37, 38, 39), the snow mushroom polysaccharide, glyceryl glucoside and glucose. Four amino acids — Glycine, Glutamic Acid, Aspartic Acid and aminobutyric acid — sit alongside them.
Jojoba Seed Oil at fifteen is the only real emollient. This is a humectant ampoule, and the rubber pack supplies the occlusion it lacks.
Who it is for
Worth checking before you buy: The scent comes from six essential oils — geranium, lavender, chamomile, patchouli, cedarwood, orange peel — plus a resin; skip it if essential oils are a trigger.
Labelled for moisture, as an occasional session rather than a routine step. Messy by design — do it over a sink. Contains six essential oils and a resin under an occlusive layer; not for reactive skin.
How to use it
- On clean skin, apply the ampoule first and let it sink in.
- Pour cold water into the bowl to the marked line, add the powder, and stir with the spatula.
- Apply quickly and thickly — it starts setting immediately.
- Rest for 15 minutes, then lift the hardened pack off in one piece.
- Apply the ampoule a second time to finish.
