💧 A gel-texture calming mask for sensitive and reactive skin — purpose-built for the treatment step when a client's barrier is stressed, redness is visible, or post-procedure skin needs a quiet reset.
The formula centers on a layered humectant system — Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Urea, and a Xylitol complex — that floods the outer skin layers with moisture in a single 10–15 minute application, relieving tightness and visibly softening surface dryness. Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8 addresses the neurogenic stress response linked to reactive-looking, flushed skin, helping the complexion appear settled and even after rinse-off. Critically, the formula is fragrance-free with a low-sensitization preservative system, making it a reliable choice for the most reactive clients on your books without the guesswork.
It layers naturally into redness-focused or hydration facials, and its take-home retail story is straightforward — clients continue the same protocol between visits.
A strong fit for estheticians whose roster skews sensitive, reactive, or post-treatment.
Benefits
- Immediate hydration relief: The layered humectant system — Glycerin, Urea, Sodium Hyaluronate, Trehalose, and the Xylitol complex — floods the outer skin layers with moisture within a single 10–15 minute application, visibly reducing the look of surface dryness and relieving the sensation of tightness.
- Calmer, less reactive-looking complexion: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8 targets the skin's surface neurogenic response associated with visible redness and sensitivity, helping the complexion appear more even and settled after the mask is rinsed off.
- Softer, more supple skin feel: Urea softens the feel of rough or tight skin by supporting its moisture-retention capacity, while Bis-PEG-12 Dimethicone and Pullulan leave a smooth, cushioned after-feel on the skin surface.
- Barrier-supportive hydration with consistent use: Urea, Serine, and the Xylitylglucoside/Anhydroxylitol/Xylitol complex are skin-identical NMF (natural moisturizing factor) components that help reinforce the skin's own moisture-management system when used regularly, supporting a stronger-feeling barrier over time.
- Suitable for reactive and fragrance-sensitive skin: The formula contains no fragrance (Parfum) and uses a modern, low-sensitization preservative system (Caprylyl Glycol, Caprylhydroxamic Acid, 1,2-Hexanediol), making it well-suited for clients with reactive, fragrance-sensitive, or compromised-feeling skin.
Active ingredients
Glycerin: A high-efficacy humectant that draws moisture from the environment and deeper skin layers into the outer stratum corneum. As one of the top-positioned actives in this formula, it provides immediate and sustained hydration, helping relieve the sensation of tightness and dryness in sensitive or depleted skin.Urea: A skin-identical component of the natural moisturizing factor (NMF) found naturally in the outer skin layers. At cosmetic concentrations, it functions as a potent humectant that helps the skin hold water, improving softness and reducing the rough, tight sensation associated with dry or dehydrated skin.Sodium Hyaluronate: The sodium salt form of hyaluronic acid, which binds water in the outer skin layers to deliver visible plumping and smoothing of surface dehydration lines. Known for its ability to hold many times its own weight in water, it contributes to the mask's lasting hydration effect.Palmitoyl Tripeptide-8: A signal peptide supported by supplier and published literature for its ability to help reduce the appearance of redness and visible sensitivity in the skin. It works by modulating the skin's neurogenic stress response at the surface level — the mechanism linked to the flushed, reactive appearance sensitive skin can display — helping the complexion look calmer and more even-toned after use.Trehalose: A naturally occurring sugar with established humectant properties and a recognized role in helping stabilize skin proteins under dehydration stress. In this mask, it contributes an additional layer of moisture-binding alongside the broader humectant complex, supporting the formula's goal of replenishing depleted or stressed skin.

How to use

- Apply a smooth, even, generous layer of the mask across the face, avoiding the delicate eye area.

Integrating into a sensitive-skin facial service
This mask works well as the treatment step in a sensitive or redness-focused facial, positioned after cleansing and any enzyme or gentle exfoliation, and before serum and moisturizer. For post-treatment clients — those who have just received microneedling, a chemical peel, or laser — the fragrance-free, humectant-rich formulation makes it a strong fit as a calming interlude before applying post-procedure care products; confirm compatibility with the specific post-procedure protocol first.
For clients with chronic reactive skin, using the mask 1–3 times per week as a home-care add-on between professional visits can extend the service results. This is a natural retail conversation: position the 100 ml size as a take-home treatment and walk the client through the same application steps they just experienced in the service.
