Face Masks

Korean hydrating masks rebalance skin from within. Their high load of moisturising and barrier-repairing actives works deeper in the skin to boost water retention and support renewal, for a complexion that feels comfortable and looks fresh.

Why choose Korean hydrating masks

The Korean approach to hydration blends science, ritual and sensorial pleasure.

​

  • Smart formulations: humectants (hyaluronic acid, glycerin, beta-glucan) pair with barrier rebuilders that restore natural lipids and reduce transepidermal water loss (ceramides, panthenol, squalane). The synergy between these ingredients boosts water retention up to 1,000 times their weight.

  • High-performance substrates: materials like hydrogel, bio-cellulose or Tencel optimise active delivery and absorption while keeping longer, comfortable contact on the skin.

  • Immediate results: in just 10–20 minutes, skin looks plumper, more flexible and naturally dewy.

  • Options for every skin type: dry, sensitive, combination or oily — including fragrance-free and vegan-friendly formulas.

  • Easy to slot into your routine

​

In this category you’ll find sheet masks, hydrogel formats and sleeping masks designed to deeply hydrate, ease tightness and improve elasticity. Ideal after harsh weather, in-clinic procedures or sudden temperature changes.

Substrates that make a difference (and how to pick)

The mask substrate matters as much as the formula:

​

  • Hydrogel masks: a cross-linked, highly occlusive gel that locks in moisture, delivers a cooling feel and hugs the contours. This substrate also includes hydrogel overnight masks (K-beauty hydrogel sleeping masks) designed to hydrate for hours while you sleep. Hydrating hydrogel masks are ideal for dehydrated or sensitive skin, delivering a visible glow and barrier support with actives like hyaluronic acid and ceramides.

  • Korean bio-cellulose masks: an ultra-fine fermented fibre that releases serum evenly. This calming hydrating mask adheres like a second skin, perfect for sensitive or irritated complexions seeking deep hydration and instant comfort.

  • Tencel sheet masks: an eco-friendly, breathable, lightweight substrate that offers residue-free hydration. These Tencel hydrating masks work brilliantly for combination or dehydrated oily skin, leaving a clean, balanced finish with panthenol and birch sap.

  • Korean cotton sheet masks: a balanced, budget-friendly choice for more fluid essences. These cotton hydrating masks deliver quick moisture and comfort, ideal for express routines.

Types: hydrating sheet mask, overnight mask and wash-off

Hydrating sheet masks (cotton/Tencel/bio-cellulose/hydrogel)

Serum-soaked sheets that give fast hydration and instant glow. Ideal to replenish and soften dehydrated or sensitive skin, with a visible reset in 10–20 minutes.

Korean overnight masks (sleeping masks)

Light gels or creams that work while you sleep: intense hydration, barrier support and bounce by next morning. Icons like Laneige Water Sleeping Mask pair multi-weight hyaluronic acid with a probiotic complex to strengthen the barrier, boost radiance and lock in moisture without heaviness.

Hydrating wash-off masks (including gentle clays)

Apply, leave on, then rinse with water. They use soft clays or soothing extracts to purify, balance oil and lock in moisture. A smart pick for combination or dehydrated oily skin wanting shine-free hydration.

Key hydrators to look for

  • Hyaluronic acid: holds up to 1,000× its weight in water for deep hydration without a greasy feel.

  • Ceramides: rebuild the skin’s protective layer, reduce water loss and shield against external stressors; they also soften fine lines and improve firmness.

  • Beta-glucan: a high-performing humectant that draws in and retains moisture; calms redness, strengthens the barrier and improves elasticity.

  • Panthenol (vitamin B5): immediate hydration and a smoothing effect; fortifies the barrier, eases tightness and supports repair for more supple, comfortable skin.

  • Cica (Centella asiatica): soothes, reduces redness and promotes recovery — ideal for sensitive or blemish-prone skin.

  • Birch sap: naturally rich in minerals, amino acids and sugars to hydrate deeply without heaviness, leaving skin fresh and balanced.

How to choose the best Korean mask for your skin

  • Dry skin: hydrating masks with ceramides, squalane or nourishing oils to seal moisture.

  • Sensitive skin: go for beta-glucan, panthenol or cica, preferably fragrance-free.

  • Oily/combination: lightweight hydrating masks with hyaluronic acid and birch sap that hydrate without residue.

  • Mature skin: look for collagen, peptides and ferments to support firmness and elasticity.
