Pro-Tip for Mauritius: For an extra cooling and de-puffing effect on a hot day, store the sheet mask in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes before use. It's the perfect treat after a day at the beach.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediately After Use: Your skin will feel instantly cooled, soothed, and deeply hydrated. Any visible redness or irritation will appear calmer and reduced. The skin will have a plump, dewy glow.
- The Next Morning: You can expect your skin to feel exceptionally soft, supple, and hydrated. Makeup may apply more smoothly over your plumped, moisturised skin.
- After 2-4 Weeks (with regular use 1-3x a week): You may notice an improvement in your skin's overall hydration levels and resilience. Your skin barrier will feel stronger, leading to less frequent irritation and sensitivity.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
The Myth: "Leaving a sheet mask on for longer—even overnight—will give you better results."
The Reality: This is a common mistake that can actually harm your skin. Once the sheet mask begins to dry out, it can start a process of "reverse osmosis," pulling moisture and the beneficial essence back out of your skin, leaving it drier than before. Always stick to the recommended 10-20 minute wear time to get the maximum hydrating benefits without any drawbacks.
Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)
- ✅ Works Well With: This mask is a fantastic team player. It's excellent for calming skin on "rest days" from strong actives like retinoids (Retinol) and exfoliating acids (AHAs/BHAs). Using this mask the night after exfoliation can help replenish hydration and prevent irritation. It also pairs perfectly with other hydrating ingredients like Glycerin and Panthenol.
- ⚠️ Use With Caution: Avoid applying the mask to broken, wounded, or severely irritated skin. While it is soothing, it's not intended for open wounds. If you experience any persistent stinging or discomfort, remove it immediately.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- 💧 Dry & Dehydrated Skin: An absolute hero. Provides an intense surge of water-based hydration to relieve tightness and flakiness.
- 😊 Sensitive & Reactive Skin: Excellent. The Centella Asiatica and cooling gel are specifically designed to calm redness and soothe irritation.
- ☀️ Sun-Exposed Skin: A must-have for after-sun care. The instant cooling effect provides immediate relief while the hydrating ingredients help repair the moisture barrier.
- ✨ Combination Skin: Perfect. It hydrates dry cheek areas without making the T-zone feel greasy.
- 🌿 Oily & Acne-Prone Skin: Very suitable. It delivers essential oil-free hydration, which can help balance sebum production. The Centella is also great for calming inflamed breakouts.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
This mask is expertly formulated to address the following concerns:
- Dehydration & Tightness: The 5-layer Hyaluronic Acid complex deeply hydrates the skin, plumping it from within and relieving that uncomfortable tight feeling.
- Redness & Irritation: High-purity Centella Asiatica from Madagascar is a powerhouse ingredient for soothing inflammation and calming visible redness.
- Overheated or Sun-Exposed Skin: Corn Mint Oil provides an immediate and refreshing cooling sensation, making it perfect for after-sun care.

Evidence & Sources (the science behind the product)
The effectiveness of this mask is based on the well-documented properties of its key ingredients:
- Ingredient Rationale (Centella Asiatica): Numerous independent studies have confirmed that Centella Asiatica and its active compounds (like madecassoside and asiaticoside) possess significant anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, and collagen-stimulating properties. [cite_start]It works by modulating inflammatory pathways and promoting fibroblast activity, which helps to calm irritated skin and strengthen the barrier. [cite: 3595, 3661]
- Ingredient Rationale (Hyaluronic Acid): Hyaluronic Acid (HA) is a gold-standard humectant in dermatology. Its ability to bind up to 1,000 times its weight in water is scientifically proven. [cite_start]By using multiple molecular weights, this formula hydrates different layers of the epidermis, providing both immediate surface plumping and deeper, sustained moisture. [cite: 3778, 3842]
- Brand Claim: SKIN1004's claim of using high-purity Centella from Madagascar is a core part of their brand identity, suggesting a focus on ingredient quality and potency.
