Skincare of the week
A solid hydrogel mask — essence set into gel form rather than soaked into a fabric sheet — built around Niacinamide and Adenosine. It's formulated to Korea's MFDS-recognised standard for skin-brightening and wrinkle-improvement claims, and gradually turns transparent as it absorbs into your skin.
This mask is registered with Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS) as a functional cosmetic for skin brightening and wrinkle improvement (report no. 2025035676). That means the formula matches a government-recognised standard for these ingredients and concentrations — it's not an independent clinical trial of this specific product, but it is a more formal bar than most brightening claims clear.
Key ingredients
- Niacinamide — supports skin brightening
- Adenosine — supports visible wrinkle improvement
- Collagen Extract & Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid — supports hydration
- Galactomyces, Lactobacillus, and Bifida ferment filtrates — fermented conditioning ingredients
Best suited for
- Anyone who wants a formally registered brightening and wrinkle claim, not just a marketing one
- Occasional or intensive sessions rather than a daily step
- Fragrance-free formulas with fermented and botanical extracts
