How it works
The Vita-A Retinal 2-Step Gel Mask is a 4ea sheet mask, used after toner, in place of your serum step, in the evening. The active it is built around is Retinal, named twenty-first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Adenosine and Hydrolyzed Sponge, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Retinal stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the sheet mask format rather than by the list alone. Celimax sells this Retinal sheet mask in Korea, and this is that version.
Key benefits
- Retinal, the active this sheet mask is built around
- Niacinamide, Adenosine, Hydrolyzed Sponge and Guaiazulene on the same list, actives
- Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 further down the same list
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Ascorbic Acid further down the same list
- Retinal named twenty-first on the manufacturer list printed on this page
Key actives
Retinalactive
Retinal is retinaldehyde, a vitamin A derivative one chemical step closer to retinoic acid than retinol is. It is yellow-orange and unstable in light, so products carrying it are usually opaque. The name on the box points at it, and it is named twenty-first on this sheet mask's own ingredient list.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it sixth on this sheet mask's list, beside Retinal.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. It is named fourteenth on this sheet mask's list, alongside Retinal.
Hydrolyzed Spongeactive
Hydrolyzed Sponge is processed freshwater sponge, which carries fine silica spicules. In a formula it works as a mild physical exfoliant. The panel names it sixteenth on this sheet mask's list, beside Retinal.
Guaiazuleneactive
Guaiazulene is the deep blue compound distilled from chamomile and guaiac wood, and it is what colours a blue formula naturally. It is used for the look of reactive, reddened skin. It is named seventy-eighth on this sheet mask's list, alongside Retinal.
Where does this sheet mask go in my routine?
After toner, in place of your serum step, in the evening. Toner goes on before it, and the rest of the routine goes on after you take the sheet mask off. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Retinal and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Retinal?
Niacinamide, Adenosine and Hydrolyzed Sponge. The order they are printed in on this sheet mask's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Retinal sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Guaiazulene, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7.

How to use
- Apply an even layer to clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye and lip area, leave on for ten to fifteen minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this sheet mask on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Retinal on the list.
- Retinal is on this list, so keep this sheet mask to the evening and build the nights up slowly rather than starting nightly.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Vitamin A has a molecular structure that's tiny enough to get into the lower layers of your skin, where it finds and boosts collagen and elastin, which is a protein that strengthens your skin's flexibility.
