What the product description says
“A soothing Korean sleeping mask to visibly calm sensitive skin and strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier overnight.”
Source: Laneige

This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.

The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: glycerin, lactobacillus ferment.

This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: squalane, butylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: madecassoside, panthenol

PanthenolHero· HumectantEffect: HighHelps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function~0.45–0.7%

    Bought this for myself close to a year ago and i absolutely love it. Two of my friends suffer from acne and dryness. I caught them sneaking into my bedroom to use it frequently and that was funny. They told me it works so well. Im stock up and replace this one and probably get them some lol.

  • iynque· Dec 2023Recommends

    I recommend everyone keep a jar of this stuff at home. I shaved my face, and an hour later decided to try a chemical exfoliant. A stupid mistake. Water burned, fancy moisturizers burned, basic moisturizers burned, every recommended product to counteract what I had done burned. I decided to try the Cica Sleep Mask, and oh my god instant and complete relief. It was amazing. I tried it months later on a painful sunburn. Same result, instant and complete relief. Unlike the 10 minutes of mild improvement from Aloe gel, this Cica Sleep Mask helped my sunburn for 8-12 hours at a time, and gave me complete relief as if I had no burns at all. Everyone should have this stuff on hand, if only as first-aid for damaged skin.

    Other than that, I use this in the evening the same way one would use petroleum jelly for slugging: Apply other skincare steps, and then the Cica sleep mask over the top of everything. It has to be wiped off in the morning. It's a great healing and strengthening treatment, and I put it on after harsh treatments to help my skin repair any damage that may have occurred.

  • Tessie· Oct 2023Doesn't recommend

    I got this when looking for something to use on nights when my skin was feeling a bit irritated. This didn't really work for the purpose unfortunately. It didn't make things worse/irritate but didn't soothe my skin either and just felt like any other basic moisturizer.
