What the product description says
โ€œUses highly concentrated formulation of natural ingredients, to help your skin become more balanced and healthy by providing hydration and nourishment.โ€
Source: Lila Beauty

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

The first type is called โ€œhumectantsโ€:
these ingredients help attract water. When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they โ€œpull inโ€ the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job: aminobutyric acid, arginine.

This product also contains ingredients called โ€œocclusivesโ€. 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: arginine, helianthus annuus seed oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: acetyl hexapeptide-8, ceramide np, copper tripeptide-1, hexapeptide-9, madecassoside, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, tripeptide-1

Side benefit ยท Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, Adenosine +ย 13ย more
Works well

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains adenosine.

These ingredients in the product can also be helpful, even though there is less evidence for their effectiveness: acetyl hexapeptide-8, copper tripeptide-1, hexapeptide-9, madecassoside, nonapeptide-1, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7, tripeptide-1.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can โ€œeraseโ€ wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

Oil of a very fragrant pink rose used as fragrance in cosmetics. Extensive research has shown it has mixed benefits. In the pro column, inhaling this flowerโ€™s scent seems to have relaxing properties and the plantโ€™s petals contain skin-soothing and antioxidant compounds that can benefit skin. On the flipside, the numerous chemicals that create this roseโ€™s distinctive fragrance pose a risk of causing skin aggravation.

Product summary

"MEDIHEAL - Buy Mediheal Essential Mask Sheet in Australia - Korean Skincare Online" is effective for: Moisturizing, Anti-aging and Evens skin tone

Ingredient callouts

  • Ceramides (ceramide np 0.20% - 0.35%, ceramide np 0.20% - 0.35%, ceramide np 0.20% - 0.35%, ceramide np 0.20% - 0.35% and ceramide np 0.20% - 0.35%). Ceramides are a type of lipids that our skin produces itself. They are a building block of the skin's barrier. Ceramides used in skincare are synthetic or extracted from plants. They work well for softening the skin surface and "patch holes" in the skin's barrier.
  • Peptides (tripeptide-1 0.15% - 0.30%, palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 0.20% - 0.35%, palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 0.10% - 0.20%, nonapeptide-1 0.10% - 0.20%, hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.20%, copper tripeptide-1 0.10% - 0.20% and acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.10% - 0.20%). There are many different kind of Peptides and they are naturally present in our skin. They all are a combination of aminoacids. Some of them work as natural antibiotics, promote wound-healing and production of collagen. The science is still not settled on how effective Peptides are in skincare, but it is very likely that they have a benefit. They might help restore the skin barrier and fight the signs of aging. At the very least, Peptides work as humectants: they attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve its hydration.
  • Adenosine 0.15% - 0.25%. It is a chemical present inside our skin cells. A clinical trial confirmed that topical application of Adenosine in a low concentration can reduce dynamic wrinkles (these are the wrinkles that appear with age in a places where our mimic is the most active, for example, in the corners of the eyes or on the forehead).
  • Actives derived from an extract of the Centella Asiatica plant (also known as Gotu Kola) - madecassoside 0.10% - 0.20% and madecassoside 0.10% - 0.20% The Centella Asiatica Actives help strengthen and restore the skin barrier, decrease inflammation in skin and neutralize free radicals. They also can help to reduce scarring. The good news is that these actives work even in low concentrations.
  • Humectants (trehalose 0.15% - 0.30%, glyceryl glucoside 0.15% - 0.25%, aminobutyric acid 0.10% - 0.25%, arginine 0.10% - 0.20%, glycerin 0.15% - 0.25%, lactobacillus ferment 0.10% - 0.20%, arginine 0.10% - 0.15%, glycerin 0.15% - 0.25%, hyaluronic acid 0.10% - 0.20%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.10% - 0.20%, hydrolyzed glycosaminoglycans 0.10% - 0.20%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.10% - 0.20%, sodium hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.20%, glyceryl acrylate/acrylic acid copolymer 0.10% - 0.20%, arginine 0.10% - 0.15%, trehalose 0.10% - 0.20%, glycerin 0.15% - 0.25%, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer 0.10% - 0.20%, sodium acetylated hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.20%, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid 0.10% - 0.20%, hyaluronic acid 0.10% - 0.20%, aminobutyric acid 0.10% - 0.20%, arginine 0.10% - 0.15%, sodium hyaluronate 0.10% - 0.20%, glycerin 0.15% - 0.25%, hexapeptide-9 0.10% - 0.20%, acetyl hexapeptide-8 0.10% - 0.20%, glyceryl glucoside 0.10% - 0.20%, aminobutyric acid 0.10% - 0.20%, sodium hyaluronate 0.15% - 0.25%, trehalose 0.25% - 0.45%, betaine 0.35% - 0.65%, arginine 0.70% - 1.05% and glycerin 3.70% - 4.50%). These ingredients help attract water to the upper layer of the skin and improve the skin hydration.
