MEDIHEAL
MEDIHEAL Essential Mask Hyaluronate 24ml x 10ea
Just water management. Nothing else on the sheet.
Eight amino acids among twenty-nine ingredients — no oil, no fragrance, no botanical tail.
Thin, drenched, twenty minutes.
What this mask does
A 24 ml sheet mask, ten to a box, carrying six forms of hyaluronic acid with eight free amino acids and Tremella polysaccharide, formulated as a plain hydration step for hot or tight skin.
Amino acids, and why they belong here
Glycine, Glutamic Acid, Aspartic Acid, Histidine, Serine, Alanine, Proline, Threonine and Arginine appear through the list. Those are components of skin's own natural moisturising factor — the mixture the surface uses to hold water without help. Putting them back is a different approach from stacking humectant polymers, and this mask does both.
Key ingredients
Ingredient · What it is, and what it is used for
- 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.
- Hyaluronic Acid
- Glycosaminoglycan. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it.
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
- Hyaluronic acid of reduced molecular weight. Used to pull in water and hold it.
- Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate
- Acetylated hyaluronate. Modified to be less water-loving than the plain form, so it clings to the surface instead of rinsing straight off.
- Potassium Hyaluronate
- Potassium salt of hyaluronic acid.
- Arginine
- Basic amino acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own.
- Glycine
- Amino acid. Sets the pH.
- Betaine
- Amino acid derivative from sugar beet. Used to pull in water and hold it.
- Tremella Fuciformis Polysaccharide
- Polysaccharide from snow fungus. Pulls water into the surface and holds it there.
- Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extract
- Extract of perilla leaf.
- Cyperus Rotundus Root Extract
- Extract of nut grass root.
- Cucumis Melo Fruit Extract
- Extract of melon fruit.
How the formula works together
There is no oil phase at all, and only one lipid entry — Hydrogenated Lecithin, as a carrier. Magnesium, calcium and sodium salts sit alongside the amino acids, which is a mineral-and-NMF approach rather than an occlusive one.
That makes it the mask to reach for when skin is hot and tight rather than genuinely dry: it cools, it floods, and it leaves nothing behind that could feel heavy. On very dry skin it needs a cream over the top.
Twenty-nine ingredients, no fragrance and no essential oil.
Who it is for
Labelled for dehydrated and heat-stressed skin. Suits oily skin that still feels tight.
How to use it
- After cleansing and toning, lay the sheet over the face.
- Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Pat in what remains; follow with a cream if skin is dry as well as dehydrated.
