The Function of the Facial Mask
Facial masks combine high-concentration actives with occlusive technology to supercharge absorption. When the mask adheres to your skin, it creates a temporary "pressure chamber," forcing serums 5x deeper into your epidermis than standard creams. One sheet mask delivers up to 15ml of essence – equivalent to a week’s dose of serum!
