ETUDE Therapy Air Mask Aloe — Masque Ultra-Léger Peaux Sensibles

This mask combines several active ingredients known for their gentleness and restorative action on fragile skin.

Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (2,500 ppm) — Aloe leaf extract is the main active ingredient in this mask. Its glycoproteins retain water in the skin's surface layers while limiting inflammatory reactions. A valuable ally after sun exposure or environmental stress.

Beta-Glucan — Derived from yeast cell walls, this humectant captures atmospheric moisture to saturate skin cells with water. It also stimulates cell renewal and strengthens the protective barrier.

Ceramide NP (Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate) — This biomimetic lipid cements cells together, restores impaired barrier function, and retains hydration over time.

Sodium Hyaluronate — A low molecular weight form of hyaluronic acid, it penetrates deeper to plump the epidermis from within.

Allantoin & Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate — Allantoin promotes healing, while the licorice derivative (Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract) soothes redness and calms irritation.

☀️ Morning routine

1. After cleansing, apply your toner to prepare your complexion.
2. Unfold the mask and adjust it on your face, aligning the cutouts for eyes, nose, and mouth.
3. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes (you can continue your hair routine or tidy up your bathroom during this time).
4. Remove the mask, gently pat the remaining serum until fully absorbed.
5. Follow with your usual moisturizer if needed, then your sunscreen.

🌙 Evening routine

1. Double cleansing: makeup remover oil followed by foaming cleanser.
2. Toner or essence.
3. Apply the mask and leave on for 15 to 20 minutes (ideal at the end of the day, lying down, to maximize active ingredient absorption).
4. Remove, massage the excess serum onto your face, neck, and décolleté.
5. Seal in hydration with a night cream or sleeping mask if your skin is very dehydrated.

Pro tip: Place the sachet in the refrigerator 30 minutes before use for an immediate cooling and decongesting effect.

This mask is designed for several skin types:

• Sensitive & reactive skin : formulated 7-free (without Imidazolidinyl Urea, Polyacrylamide, Triethanolamine, mineral oil, silicone, pigment, or fragrance), it minimizes the risk of intolerance. All ingredients are rated EWG grades 1 to 2.
• Irritated or overheated complexion : after sun exposure, a gentle peel, or waxing session, aloe soothes and cools.
• Dehydrated epidermis : the water-type essence texture absorbs quickly without a greasy film, ideal for combination to oily skin lacking moisture.
• Daily masking enthusiasts : ETUDE promotes the "One Mask a Day" ritual popular in Korea — this mask is gentle enough for regular use.
• Sheet mask beginners : the 0.2 mm thinness makes it comfortable to wear, even for those who find traditional masks too thick or suffocating.

Avoid if: known allergy to Asteraceae (the chamomile family, present through certain botanical extracts) or marked sensitivity to alcohol (present in the formula, though buffered by soothing agents).

From the first application : immediate sensation of freshness, reduced redness, smoothed complexion. The ultra-thin 0.2 mm fabric perfectly adheres to the contours of the face, allowing for even serum distribution.

After 2 weeks of regular use (3 times/week) : the skin barrier strengthens, the skin reacts less to external aggressions (pollution, temperature changes, mask friction). The texture refines, and hydration lasts longer between applications.

After 4 weeks : more even complexion, increased resilience against irritants. Dehydration fine lines fade thanks to the continuous supply of ceramides and hyaluronate.

Usage note: This mask hydrates and soothes; it does not treat active acne or pigmentation imperfections. For these issues, complement your routine with targeted treatments (BHA, niacinamide, etc.).
