Key actives
Ceramide NP
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy.
Ceramide AP (1 ppb)
Ceramide AP is a second cosmetic ceramide, distinguished by an extra hydroxyl group. Formulas that name several ceramides are copying the mix skin actually holds rather than relying on one.
Ceramide EOP (1 ppb)
Ceramide EOP is the ceramide with the longest tail, and in skin it acts as the rivet holding the lipid layers together. It is the third member of the standard cosmetic ceramide trio.
Ceramide NS (1 ppb)
Ceramide NS is another of the ceramides skin makes for itself. It is used alongside NP and AP so a formula supplies a mixture rather than a single lipid.
Palmitic Acid
Palmitic Acid is a saturated fatty acid present in skin's own lipids. It thickens a formula, stabilises the emulsion and softens skin.
Adenosine
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.
Pyrus Communis (Pear) Fruit Extract
Pear Fruit Extract carries fruit sugars and mild fruit acids. It is used as a hydrating extract with a very light smoothing effect on the surface.
How to use
- Unfold the sheet and smooth it onto a cleansed face, adjusting it around the eyes, nose and mouth. Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove and pat any remaining essence into the skin rather than rinsing it off.
What does Ceramide NP (400 ppm) do in this sheet mask?
Ceramide NP (400 ppm) sits in the middle of the ingredient list, a skin-identical lipid included to support the surface rather than strip it.
Is Adenosine also in this formula?
Adenosine sits in the middle of the ingredient list. It is a wrinkle-care ingredient in Korea, included here for fine-line support rather than as a filler. It sits alongside Ceramide NP (400 ppm) on MEDIHEAL's ingredient list for this product.
How is this sheet mask used in a routine?
Unfold the sheet and smooth it onto a cleansed face, adjusting it around the eyes, nose and mouth. Leave it on for 15 to 20 minutes, then remove and pat any remaining essence into the skin rather than rinsing it off. It works as an occasional, concentrated step layered over a completed routine, not a daily one.
Who is this sheet mask suited for?
Sensitive skin, Normal skin are the best fit for this sheet mask. Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.

How it works
The panel on this sheet mask names four forms of ceramide rather than one: Ceramide NP, Ceramide AP (1 ppb), Ceramide EOP (1 ppb), Ceramide NS (1 ppb). Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. On this panel it sits alongside Palmitic Acid, Adenosine and Pyrus Communis (Pear) Fruit Extract. Palmitic Acid is a saturated fatty acid present in skin's own lipids. It thickens a formula, stabilises the emulsion and softens skin.

- Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.

What skin-care professionals say about skin care, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Ceramides are part fatty acid and part amino acid and are able to be the grout that keeps the building blocks of the skin together and functioning as a barrier between the inside and outside world.
Amy Kassouf, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic Pretty much every step of a Korean skin care routine is going to have some component of hydration.
