How it works
The Cushion Veil Calming Mask is a 35g sheet mask, used after toner, in place of your serum step, in the evening. The active it is built around is Allantoin, named tenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Asiaticoside, Madecassoside and Asiatic Acid, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Allantoin 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 Dr.Althea sells in Korea, Allantoin and all.
Key benefits
- Allantoin, the active this sheet mask is built around
- Asiaticoside, Madecassoside, Asiatic Acid and Madecassic Acid on the same list, actives
- Centella Asiatica Extract and Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract further down the same list
- Arginine and Panthenol further down the same list
- Allantoin named tenth on the manufacturer list printed on this page
- Sourced for the Korean market, not a US-shelf reformulation of this sheet mask
Key actives
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. On this sheet mask's own ingredient list it is named tenth.
Asiaticosideactive
Asiaticoside is one of the four active triterpenes isolated from centella and the most studied of them. Korean formulas name it separately when they want to show which fraction of the plant they standardised. The panel names it eighteenth on this sheet mask's list, beside Allantoin.
Madecassosideactive
Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams. It is named nineteenth on this sheet mask's list, alongside Allantoin.
Asiatic Acidactive
Asiatic Acid is the third of centella's four triterpenes and the aglycone form, meaning it has no attached sugar. It is oil soluble, so it turns up in cica creams and balms more than in watery layers. The panel names it twentieth on this sheet mask's list, beside Allantoin.
Madecassic Acidactive
Madecassic Acid is the fourth centella triterpene. A list that names all four is telling you the extract was standardised rather than simply pressed, which is the difference between a cica claim and a cica formula. The panel names it twenty-first on this sheet mask's list, beside Allantoin.
Dr. Althea Cushion Veil Calming Mask (4 Sheets)
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 Allantoin and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market sheet mask or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Allantoin 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 Allantoin?
Asiaticoside, Madecassoside and Asiatic Acid. The order they are printed in on this sheet mask's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Allantoin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Madecassic Acid, Centella Asiatica Extract and Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract.

How to use
- Use the Cushion Veil Calming Mask in the evening, after cleansing, in place of your toner and serum layers.
- Unfold the sheet, line it up at the eyes first, then smooth it outward so no air is trapped underneath.
- Take it off at the time printed on the pack, pat in the essence left behind rather than rinsing, then go to your moisturizer.
- Two or three evenings a week is a normal rhythm. Do not leave it on past its time; a sheet that has gone dry takes moisture back off the face.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm first, as with any new step added to a routine.
- Discontinue if irritation develops and check the ingredient list against any known sensitivity.
