MENOKIN
MENOKIN 30 Seconds Quick Bubble Mask REPAIR 95ml
Thirty seconds, then rinse. That is the whole instruction.
A bubble mask built on fruit juices rather than surfactant foam.
Fizzes on contact.
What this mask does
A 95 ml quick bubble mask carrying Niacinamide with sea buckthorn, mango and grapefruit juices, hyaluronic acid and Madecassoside, formulated as a fast rinse-off step rather than a leave-on treatment.
Thirty seconds is a short contact time
Worth being straight about: a mask you rinse after half a minute cannot do what a fifteen-minute sheet does. What it can do is deliver a surface refresh with the humectants and juices, and be something you actually use on a rushed morning. Consistency beats intensity more often than product marketing admits.
Key ingredients
Ingredient · What it is, and what it is used for
- 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.
- Madecassoside
- Triterpene glycoside from Centella asiatica. Used to calm irritation.
- Centella Asiatica Extract
- Extract of Centella asiatica, whole plant. Used to calm irritation; used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin.
- Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Juice
- Juice of sea buckthorn fruit.
- Mangifera Indica Juice
- Juice of mango fruit.
- Citrus Paradisi Juice
- Juice of grapefruit.
- Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract
- Hydrolysed extract of heartsease.
- Hydrolyzed Malt Extract
- Hydrolysed extract of malt.
- 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.
- 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.
- Adenosine
- Purine nucleoside. One of the few ingredients Korea approves a wrinkle-care claim for.
- Decyl Glucoside
- Sugar-derived non-ionic surfactant. Does the cleansing.
How the formula works together
The bubbling comes from Decyl Glucoside — a mild sugar-derived surfactant — combined with the polymer thickener. It foams gently rather than aggressively, which is appropriate for a product with no rinse-resistant actives to protect.
Three hyaluronates, Niacinamide, Glutathione and Madecassoside make up the working half; the fruit juices and hydrolysed plant extracts the conditioning half. Thirty-four ingredients, no fragrance and no essential oil on the list.
One note on the marketing copy: the brand describes an EGF liposome and a Myrothamnus callus extract. Neither appears on the ingredient list we publish below, which is the list as supplied. We report the label rather than the leaflet.
Who it is for
Labelled for all skin types. A quick step for mornings, not a replacement for a leave-on mask.
How to use it
- On cleansed, damp skin, spread a thin layer over the face.
- Leave for about thirty seconds as it bubbles.
- Rinse with lukewarm water and follow with toner.
