BANOBAGI Vita Genic Jelly Mask #Cica — Masque Centella Réconfortant

This mask concentrates an armada of soothing active ingredients in an ultra-adhesive jelly essence. Vitamin complex liposomal (vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B7, B9, C, E) at 40,000 ppm — liposome technology encapsulates the vitamins to deliver them intact to the deeper layers of the epidermis.

Centella Asiatica (Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid, Madecassoside): the four triterpenoids of Cica stimulate the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans, including hyaluronic acid, for accelerated tissue repair. Panthenol (Provitamin B5): a humectant that attracts water and strengthens the lipid barrier — reduces inflammation and soothes irritations caused by preservatives or UV rays.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): increases ceramide synthesis, evens out skin tone, reduces redness and blemishes without irritation. Sodium Hyaluronate : low molecular weight for optimal penetration. Allantoin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate (licorice): a calming duo that defuses hypersensitivity.

☀️ Morning routine

1. Cleanse your face and apply a toner to balance the pH.
2. Open the sachet, unfold the two parts of the mask (top + bottom) and place them on your face, protective film facing outward.
3. Remove the silver film and adjust the mask so it fits perfectly along the contours.
4. Leave on for 15 to 20 minutes (you can go up to 30 minutes, the mask stays moist).
5. Remove and pat in the remaining essence. Use the excess to massage your neck, décolleté, and hands.
6. Seal with your usual moisturizer to lock in hydration.

🌙 Evening routine

1. Same protocol as in the morning, after double cleansing.
2. Use the remaining essence in the sachet as an intensive serum on sensitive areas (cheeks, eye contour).
3. Finish with a nourishing night cream to extend the nighttime repairing effect.

This mask is designed for fragile skin seeking uncompromising SOS care:

• Sensitive or reactive skin : dermatologically tested formula, free from 11 common irritants (parabens, alcohol, synthetic fragrances, colorants). The Cica complex soothes redness and restores the barrier function.
• Post-acne or irritated skin : Madecassoside and Asiaticoside accelerate the healing of microlesions and reduce pigmentation marks.
• Skin tired from external aggressions (pollution, air conditioning, stress): the jelly texture forms an occlusive dressing that maintains hydration for 2 to 3 hours after application.
• Fans of minimalist layering : a single mask replaces toner + essence + serum for a quick routine.

Avoid if : known allergy to Asteraceae (Centella family). Patch test recommended 24 hours before on the neck.

From the first application : instant sensation of freshness (cooling effect), visibly reduced redness, even complexion. The jelly texture creates an occlusive film that boosts active ingredient penetration by 30% compared to a regular essence.

After 2 weeks (2-3 masks per week): refined skin texture, reduced sensations of heat and tightness. The skin barrier strengthens — less reactivity to temperature changes.

After 4 weeks : brighter complexion, reduced inflammatory markers (fewer isolated breakouts post-stress), hydration maintained up to 48 hours after each application. Localized dry areas (sides of the nose, chin) regain suppleness and comfort.

What is the difference between the Cica mask and the other Vita Genic products in the range?

Each Vita Genic targets a specific concern: the Cica focuses on 5 derivatives of Centella and Jeju volcanic ash to soothe and repair. The Hydrating one relies on Jeju seawater and Trehalose, while the Pore Tightening uses mineral spring water. They all share the 11-vitamin complex, but the botanical extracts vary.

Can I use this mask morning AND evening?

Yes, the hypoallergenic formula allows it. During a crisis (mild sunburn, winter dehydration), you can apply it daily. For maintenance, 2 to 3 times a week is enough to keep the skin soothed.

Why a jelly texture and not a classic liquid essence?

The gel prevents the essence from evaporating quickly, extends the contact time of the active ingredients with the skin, and creates an occlusive effect. Result: better bioavailability of liposomal vitamins and a lasting fresh sensation.

How long can I keep the mask on without it drying out?

The 100% cotton holds the essence for up to 30-40 minutes. Some users even leave it on for 1 hour without discomfort — the mask stays moist. Beyond that, the occlusive effect decreases.

Does the mask contain comedogenic ingredients?

No. The emollients used (Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Hydrogenated Phosphatidylcholine) are non-comedogenic and suitable for combination to oily skin. The Cica complex even regulates sebum.

Can I apply an active serum (AHA, retinol) after the mask?

Avoid exfoliating actives immediately after: the barrier is temporarily more permeable, risking irritation. Instead, use the mask on evenings when you’re not doing an acid treatment, or wait 30 minutes before applying a gentle active (stabilized vitamin C, peptides).

BANOBAGI was born in 2000 in the dermatology and aesthetic surgery offices of the BANOBAGI Medical Group in Seoul — one of the most renowned medical beauty groups in Korea. Founded by Dr. Ban Jae Yong, a certified dermatologist, and a team of 30 beauty consultants, the brand applies a "dermo-cosmetic" philosophy: clinical formulas validated by years of medical practice, adapted for home use.

Unlike purely cosmetic brands, BANOBAGI relies on theses and protocols derived from 20 years of experience in clinical dermatology. Each product is dermatologically tested, formulated without the 11 most common irritants (parabens, alcohol, mineral oils, dyes, synthetic fragrances). The flagship ranges — Milk Thistle Repair, Rejuvenating Vital Care (b-PDRN), Vita Genic Jelly Mask — embody this scientific rigor in the service of accessible beauty.

The Vita Genic masks, the brand’s best-sellers, combine ingredients from Jeju (sea water, volcanic ash, aloe, cactus) and vitamin encapsulation technologies. The result: professional treatments at home, with no compromise on effectiveness or tolerance. Discover the entire BANOBAGI range

Jeju volcanic ash (Volcanic Ash) absorbs excess sebum and purifies pores without drying out. The 9 vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B7, B9, C, E, F in the form of glyceryl linoleate/linolenate/arachidonate) are encapsulated in liposomes (Hydrogenated Phosphatidylcholine) to penetrate the stratum corneum intact.
