Key actives
Tripeptide-1
Tripeptide-1 is the copper-free version of the classic three-amino-acid peptide. It is used for the look of firmness in formulas that avoid copper's blue tint.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is a short peptide with a fatty tail added so it can travel through the oily outer layer of skin. It is used for the look of firmness and is almost always paired with palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is the five-amino-acid peptide originally sold as Matrixyl. It is used for the look of fine lines and is one of the longest-standing cosmetic peptides.
Hexapeptide-9
Hexapeptide-9 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness and elasticity. It is water soluble and appears in peptide blends rather than alone.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
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.
Centella Asiatica Extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid.
How to use
- Cleanse and tone first, then unfold Skin Barrier Calming Mask 27ml X 6ea onto dry skin, smoothing from the center outward. Leave it on for the time printed on the packaging, remove, and pat any remaining essence into skin rather than rinsing.
How often should I use Skin Barrier Calming Mask 27ml X 6ea?
Two to three times a week is the standard cadence for a hydrating sheet or hydrogel mask like this one, though daily use is fine on very dry or dehydrated skin. Apply it after cleansing and toning, leave it on for the time printed on the packaging, then pat in whatever essence remains rather than rinsing it off. Skin that is actively irritated should skip a session until it calms down.
Do I rinse Skin Barrier Calming Mask 27ml X 6ea off after use?
No, the point of this format is to pat any leftover essence into the skin rather than rinse it away, since that essence is most of what you are paying for. Remove the sheet or hydrogel once the time on the packaging is up, then continue with your regular moisturizer. Rinsing it off would wash away the hydration the mask just delivered.
Can I use Skin Barrier Calming Mask 27ml X 6ea if I have sensitive or reactive skin?
This is formulated as a hydrating, calming step rather than an active-heavy treatment, which is generally a reasonable starting point for sensitive skin. Even so, patch test any new mask on the inner arm before a first full-face use, since sensitivity varies by individual and by what else is in a given routine. Discontinue if you notice redness or stinging that does not settle within a few minutes.
Where does Skin Barrier Calming Mask 27ml X 6ea fit in my routine?
Use it after cleansing and toning and before serum and moisturizer, since the mask is doing the heavy hydration lifting that the rest of the routine builds on. It works well as a standalone weekly reset or folded into a longer routine on nights you have the extra few minutes. It is not a substitute for daily moisturizer or SPF.
Is Skin Barrier Calming Mask 27ml X 6ea the authentic Korean-market formula?
Yes, this is the same formula ongredients sells through Korean retail, not a US-shelf reformulation, sourced specifically for Korean Pharmacy's US catalog. and carries its original Korean-market batch coding intact. That is the version this brand is actually known for.

How it works
The panel on this sheet mask names six forms of peptide rather than one: Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Hexapeptide-9, Hexapeptide-11, Copper Tripeptide-1. Tripeptide-1 is the copper-free version of the classic three-amino-acid peptide. It is used for the look of firmness in formulas that avoid copper's blue tint. On this panel it sits alongside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Ceramide NP and Centella Asiatica Extract. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
