At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
Feeling like your skin has lost its bounce in the tropical heat? This mask is like a cool drink of water for tired, dehydrated skin.
The Abib Collagen Gel Mask is a two-piece hydrogel mask saturated with a jelly essence. Itโs formulated with vegan collagen and sedum extract to deeply hydrate, plump, and restore elasticity. The unique hydrogel material adheres perfectly to the contours of your face, delivering a refreshing cooling sensation while its active ingredients work to give you firm, dewy, "chok chok" skin.
- Texture: A cool, slippery, transparent hydrogel mask.
- Finish: Plump, hydrated, and glowing skin.
- Best for: All skin types, especially those feeling dehydrated, fatigued, or concerned with loss of firmness.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
- Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
- This Product: Apply both pieces of the gel mask and relax for 20-30 minutes.
- Moisturiser: After removing the mask, pat in the remaining essence and follow with your favourite moisturiser to seal in the benefits.
Mindful Tip: Already using a hydrating mask you love? Finish it first to prevent waste and give your skin a consistent routine. Substitute, don't just add.
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
This mask is best used in the evening 1-2 times a week to replenish moisture and repair the skin overnight.
- Step 1: Double Cleanse (Oil Cleanser โ Water-Based Cleanser) - Essential to remove sunscreen, makeup, and impurities.
- Step 2: Toner - Apply a hydrating toner to balance your skin's pH and prepare it for the mask.
- Step 3: Abib Collagen Gel Mask - Unfold and apply both the upper and lower sheets to your face. Leave on for 20-30 minutes.
- Step 4: Remove & Pat - After removing the mask, gently pat the remaining jelly essence into your skin until absorbed. Do not rinse.
- Step 5: Moisturiser/Sleeping Pack - Lock in all the hydration with your regular night cream or a sleeping pack.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)
- Frequency: Use 1-2 times per week, or whenever your skin needs an extra boost of hydration and cooling relief.
- Amount: One full mask (both top and bottom pieces) per session.
-
Application:
- After cleansing and toning, carefully remove the mask from the pouch. It comes in two pieces for a better fit.
- Remove the protective films from both sides of each piece.
- Place the embossed, textured side against your skin. Apply the lower piece around your mouth and the upper piece around your eyes.
- Smooth out any air bubbles to ensure full contact with your skin.
- Relax for 20-30 minutes. You may feel a pleasant cooling sensation.
- Gently peel off the mask and discard. Pat the remaining essence into your face and neck.
- Pro Tip: For an enhanced cooling and de-puffing effect, store the mask in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before use. This is perfect after a long day in the Mauritian sun.
- Watchout: The hydrogel material can be slippery! It's best to lie down while wearing the mask to prevent it from sliding.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
Integrate this hydrating mask into your week as a recovery or self-care step. It pairs well with most routines.
Example Week (Focus on Hydration & Repair):
- Monday (PM): Gentle routine (cleanse, tone, moisturise).
- Tuesday (PM): Exfoliation night (e.g., use an AHA/BHA toner).
- Wednesday (PM): Abib Collagen Gel Mask night. Use after cleansing and toning to deeply hydrate and soothe post-exfoliation skin.
- Thursday (PM): Gentle routine.
- Friday (PM): Targeted serum night (e.g., use a retinoid or brightening serum).
- Saturday (PM): Gentle routine.
- Sunday (PM): Abib Collagen Gel Mask night. A perfect self-care reset before the week begins.
Rule: This mask is very gentle. You can safely use it on a "soothing night" or the night after using actives like exfoliants or retinoids to replenish moisture and calm the skin.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate โ 8+ weeks)
- Immediately After One Use: Skin feels intensely cool, refreshed, and deeply hydrated. It will look visibly plumper, dewier, and feel smoother to the touch. Any surface tightness or heat in the skin is significantly reduced.
- Within 2-4 Weeks (1-2 uses per week): You may notice that your skin retains moisture better throughout the day. Skin texture appears more refined and elasticity feels improved. Makeup may apply more smoothly over your plumped, hydrated skin.
- After 8+ Weeks (Consistent Use): With regular use, your skin's hydration levels are more stable, and its barrier feels stronger and more resilient. The plumping effects contribute to a reduction in the appearance of fine dehydration lines.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why this, not a heavy, oily cream for hydration? In Mauritius's humidity, heavy creams can feel suffocating and clog pores. This hydrogel mask delivers intense, water-based hydration without the greasy feel, helping to balance both oily and dry skin types by quenching dehydration without adding heavy lipids.
Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: This mask is a team player. It's excellent to use after gentle exfoliants (like AHA/BHA toners) to replenish hydration. It also layers perfectly with other hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid and soothing ingredients like panthenol.
- Use With Caution: Avoid applying to broken, wounded, or severely irritated skin (like a fresh sunburn). Let the skin calm down first.
- Do Not Mix: There are no major ingredient conflicts. The main rule is to apply it to a clean face before your final, heavier moisturising steps.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Excellent For: Dry, Dehydrated, Normal, and Combination skin types that need a surge of moisture and plumping.
- Good For: Oily skin, as it provides oil-free hydration that can help balance sebum production. Mature skin will also benefit from the plumping and firming effects on fine lines.
- Use with Caution For: Extremely sensitive or reactive skin. While formulated to be gentle, a patch test is always recommended when trying any new product.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
This mask is formulated to address:
- Dehydration and skin thirst
- Loss of skin elasticity and firmness
- Dull, tired-looking complexion
- Overheated or stressed skin needing a cooling effect

-
Issue: There's no extra essence in the packet to apply elsewhere.
- Solution: Unlike some sheet masks, the power of this hydrogel mask is that the essence is fully infused and concentrated within the gel material itself. The mask delivers the treatment directly as it sits on your skin.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- How is a hydrogel mask different from a regular cotton sheet mask?
- Hydrogel masks are made of a gel material that holds more essence and adheres much better to the skin's contours. They also provide a superior cooling sensation and prevent the essence from evaporating as quickly, allowing for deeper absorption.
- Can I use this mask if I have oily or acne-prone skin?
- Yes, absolutely. This mask provides intense hydration without using heavy oils, which is beneficial for oily skin. Hydrated skin can often produce less excess sebum. The formula is non-comedogenic and contains soothing ingredients.
- Is there extra essence in the pouch to use on my neck and body?
- Typically, no. With hydrogel masks, the essence is concentrated and infused directly into the gel material itself. The benefit is transferred directly from the mask to your skin. After removing the mask, you can pat in any remaining residue on your face and neck.
- Can I reuse the mask?
- No, this is a single-use product for hygiene and efficacy reasons. Once the mask has been on your skin for 20-30 minutes, it has delivered its benefits and should be discarded.
