Key actives
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. On this sheet mask's own ingredient list it is named fifth.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. It is named tenth on this sheet mask's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Lactic Acidexfoliant
Lactic Acid is a larger AHA than glycolic, so it works nearer the surface and is easier on skin, and it is a humectant as well as an exfoliant. It is the AHA of choice for dry skin. The panel names it thirty-second on this sheet mask's list, beside Niacinamide.
Portulaca Oleracea Extractplant extract
Portulaca Oleracea is purslane. Its extract is unusually high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants for a plant, and Korean formulas use it for the look of reddened, reactive skin. The panel names it seventh on this sheet mask's list, beside Niacinamide.
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extractplant extract
Willow Bark Extract carries salicin, the plant compound salicylic acid is related to. The two are not interchangeable: willow bark is a mild clarifying extract, not a BHA exfoliant at the levels used in cosmetics. The panel names it ninth on this sheet mask's list, beside Niacinamide.
How to use
- Cleanse and dry the face, unfold the sheet and press it on, smoothing out air bubbles. Leave on for 10 to 20 minutes, remove, then pat any remaining essence into the skin without rinsing.
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 Niacinamide and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market sheet mask or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Niacinamide and all. We match this sheet mask to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?
Allantoin, Lactic Acid and Portulaca Oleracea Extract. The order they are printed in on this sheet mask's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract and Cordyceps Sinensis Extract.

How it works
The 2-Step Quick Soothing S.O.S Mask is a 5sheets sheet mask, used after toner, in place of your serum step, in the evening. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named fifth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Lactic Acid and Portulaca Oleracea Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Niacinamide stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the sheet mask format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the sheet mask CNP sells in Korea, Niacinamide and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this sheet mask on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Niacinamide on the list.
- Citric Acid and Lactic Acid on this list makes this sheet mask an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
Wilma Bergfeld, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic As we age, the glue that holds our skin cells together becomes denser, which slows down the natural cell turnover process.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
