1. What Makes a Hydrogel Mask?

Material, Structure & Biocrown’s Formulation Advantage: A hydrogel mask is built from a 3D cross-linked gel network that can hold up to 99% water, creating a semi-solid structure that melts slightly on skin temperature. This structure enhances occlusion, pushing active ingredients deeper into the epidermis.

Our formulations typically include:

Natural Polymers: Carrageenan, xanthan gum, konjac glucomannan

Biocompatible Gel Polymers: Hyaluronic acid gel, hydrocolloid-grade polymers

Humectant Phase: Glycerin, glycols for moisture retention

Skin-Repair Actives: Panthenol, allantoin, peptides

Stabilizing System: Calcium ions and gel-setting buffers for firmness & clarity

We design the gel to be elastic, transparent, and cooling, with exceptional serum-holding properties—allowing the mask to slowly release moisture and actives throughout the treatment.

2. Usage & Performance

Hydrogel masks are ideal for: Post-treatment calming (laser, microneedling, sun sensitivity) / Deep hydration & skin barrier restoration / Anti-aging routines requiring intensive absorption / Sensitive skin-friendly care / Evidence-Driven Performance

Hydrogel masks have been widely studied and have shown: Reduced TEWL (water loss) thanks to superior occlusivity / Enhanced delivery of peptides, HA, and brightening actives / Immediate cooling sensation that reduces irritation and redness

Their structure ensures slow-release actives, delivering a more luxurious and effective treatment than conventional sheet masks.

The Next-Gen Mask: Better Than Traditional Sheet Masks

Hydrogel sheet masks are not just “soaked fabric” — they are a water-gel matrix: a 3D, semi-solid gel network that can hold extraordinary amounts of water. This gives them a “second-skin” effect, with tight adhesion to facial contours, uniform contact, and maximum serum/active-ingredient delivery deep into the skin.

Unlike standard sheet masks that tend to dry out after 15–20 minutes, hydrogel masks remain moist and plump throughout wear, ensuring continuous hydration and active delivery for the full treatment period. The gel texture also gives a cooling, soothing sensation on skin — ideal for calming, hydration, barrier repair, or post-procedure skin recovery (e.g. after laser, microneedling, etc.).

Superior Hydration & Active Absorption — For Visible Results

Thanks to the hydrogel’s high water retention and occlusive properties, masks can drastically reduce transepidermal water loss (TEWL), helping skin stay plump, soft, and well-moisturized. The stable, clear gel matrix enables effective delivery of actives — whether hyaluronic acid, peptides, panthenol, brightening agents, or calming ingredients — with enhanced penetration compared with simple fabric masks.

This translates to immediate visible benefits — hydrating, soothing, calming, reducing redness or irritation, improving suppleness and “glow” — and with repeated use, longer-term improvements in skin texture, elasticity, and barrier resilience.

Perfect for Sensitive or Post-Procedure Skin — Medical & Aesthetic-Grade Performance

Because the gel adheres so gently and evenly to the skin, hydrogel masks are ideal for sensitive, irritated, or freshly treated skin (post-laser, microneedling, chemical peel, etc.). The cooling and occlusive nature helps calm inflammation, soothe discomfort, and support barrier repair. The occlusive “seal” also helps lock in actives, reducing evaporation and maximizing efficacy — especially important when using skin-repair actives, peptides, or barrier-supporting ingredients.

For brands aiming at medical aesthetic, post-treatment, or sensitive-skin markets, hydrogel masks offer a far more premium, effective, and professional-grade experience than traditional sheet masks or cotton pads.
