At-a-Glance (the 30-second snapshot) (who it's for)
Feeling like your skin is constantly irritated, red, or reactive? This hydrogel mask is a calming rescue session in a pouch. It uses 70% Heartleaf extract and low-molecular Collagen to deeply soothe, hydrate, and restore comfort to a stressed skin barrier. The unique gel texture clings to the skin, turning transparent as the essence is fully absorbed, leaving your complexion feeling plump, refreshed, and visibly calmer.
Quick Start Guide (your 60-second routine) (for beginners)
- Cleanser — Start with a clean base.
- THIS PRODUCT — Apply both sections to the face and leave for 3-4 hours, or until transparent. Can be used overnight.
- Moisturiser (Optional) — After removing the mask, pat in the remaining essence. Add a moisturiser only if your skin still feels like it needs more.
Note: Already own a similar soothing mask? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).
AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)
This mask is best suited for PM use due to its long application time. However, if using for a special event in the morning, ensure you leave enough time.
- Cleanser
- [THIS PRODUCT] (allow full absorption time)
- Sunscreen SPF 30+
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
- Minimalist (3 steps): 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if wearing makeup/water-resistant SPF) → 2) [THIS PRODUCT] → 3) Moisturiser (optional, to seal everything in).
- Optional: Before the mask, you can apply a hydrating toner like the Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner to prep the skin.
How to Use (the beginner-friendly way) (application & dosage)
- Frequency: Use 1-3 times per week, or whenever your skin feels particularly irritated or dehydrated.
- Amount: One full mask (upper and lower sheets).
- Apply to: A clean, dry face.
-
Method:
- After cleansing, refine your skin texture with a toner if desired.
- Open the pouch, unfold the two separate pieces (upper and lower), and remove the protective film.
- Apply the upper part of the mask around your eyes and the lower part around your mouth, smoothing it to fit your facial contours.
- Leave on for at least 3–4 hours, or until the hydrogel mask becomes transparent. Many users leave it on overnight as a sleeping pack.
- Gently remove the mask and pat any remaining essence into the skin for full absorption.
- Watchouts: The primary benefit comes from prolonged contact. Using it for only 15-20 minutes will not deliver the full effect.
- Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not apply to broken or inflamed skin. Stop use if a rash or irritation occurs.
Weekly Planner (example schedule) (how often to use)
This mask is a treatment product, not a daily-use item.
- Example Week (for calming support): Mon Soothing night (no actives) · Tue THIS PRODUCT (as an overnight pack) · Wed Exfoliant night (AHA/BHA) · Thu Soothing night · Fri THIS PRODUCT · Sat Soothing night · Sun Hydrating night.
- Rule: Use it on nights when you are not using other strong actives like chemical exfoliants or retinoids to allow your skin to focus on calming and repair.
- Mauritius note: Perfect for a post-beach day or after spending long hours in air-conditioning to replenish lost moisture and soothe heat-induced redness.
What to Expect (a realistic timeline) (when you'll see results)
- Immediate (after one use): Skin feels deeply hydrated, plump, and significantly calmer. Visible redness is often noticeably reduced. The cooling sensation provides instant relief.
- 2–4 weeks (with consistent weekly use): Skin barrier feels more resilient and less prone to irritation. Texture appears smoother and more supple due to improved hydration levels.
- 4–8+ weeks: Continued use helps maintain a stable, comfortable, and healthy-looking complexion, making skin less reactive to environmental stressors.
Myth Replacement (why this, not that) (smarter skincare)
- Why this, not DIY cucumber or yogurt masks? While kitchen ingredients can feel cooling, they are not formulated for skin absorption, can introduce bacteria, and lack the targeted, stabilized soothing agents like Heartleaf and skin-repairing ingredients like low-molecular Collagen. This hydrogel mask provides a potent, hygienic, and evidence-based dose of calming actives in a delivery system designed for deep penetration.
Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)
- Works Well With: Hydrating toners (like Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner), gentle serums (Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol), and simple moisturisers. Using a hydrating toner beforehand can boost the mask's effects.
- Use Carefully With: Do not use on the same night as strong chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA) or retinoids. Give your skin a dedicated night for this calming treatment.
- Avoid On: Do not apply over broken, wounded, or infected skin.
Skin Type Compatibility (is it for you?) (oily, dry, sensitive)
- All Skin Types: Yes, this is suitable for all skin types.
- Sensitive & Reactive Skin: Excellent. Specifically designed to calm and soothe irritation.
- Acne-Prone Skin: Very suitable. Heartleaf has anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe breakouts without clogging pores.

Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)
-
Issue: The mask is slipping down.
- Quick Fix: You may have too much toner or serum underneath. Apply to clean, dry skin or wait for prior steps to fully absorb. Lying down for the first few minutes can also help it set.
-
Issue: My skin feels a bit tingly at first.
- Quick Fix: A mild, temporary cooling or tingling sensation can be normal due to ingredients like Menthyl Lactate. If it turns into a persistent burning or itching, remove the mask immediately.
-
Issue: I don't see a huge difference.
- Quick Fix: Ensure you are leaving the mask on for the recommended 3-4 hours (or until it becomes transparent). The long contact time is crucial for the ingredients to absorb and work effectively.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local adaptation) (sun, humidity, AC)
- Humid Summer: This mask is a blessing in the heat. Store it in the fridge for 10-15 minutes before use for an extra cooling, de-puffing effect. It provides deep hydration without feeling heavy or greasy.
- Drier Winter/AC Exposure: An excellent way to combat the dehydration caused by indoor air conditioning. Use it as an overnight sleeping pack to wake up with deeply moisturised, comfortable skin.

-
Is it okay for acne-prone skin?
