How it works
This mask layers three retinoid-family ingredients in one essence: hydroxypinacolone retinoate, retinol itself, and bakuchiol as a plant-derived partner that is often used to soften a retinoid's learning curve. Centella asiatica extract and its purified compound madecassoside sit alongside them to help keep the short masking session calm rather than harsh. Six peptides close out the ingredient list, including copper tripeptide-1 and tripeptide-1, adding a firming-focused finish behind the texture work up front. The plant-fiber lyocell sheet holds the milky essence close to the skin for a contained session rather than a leave-on application, which is part of why the brand frames sheet-mask dosing as a more approachable way to use retinoids. Because multiple retinoids are combined, this is built for occasional use rather than a nightly step, and daytime sunscreen matters on the days it is used.

VT Cosmetics Cica Reti-A Mask
What retinoids does this mask contain?
The ingredient list names hydroxypinacolone retinoate, retinol and bakuchiol together, so this mask layers a retinoic acid ester alongside classic retinol and a plant-derived retinol alternative in the same essence. That combination is why the product positions itself for texture and pore concerns rather than as a single-ingredient retinol treatment. Retinol can increase sun sensitivity, so daytime sunscreen matters on the days you use this mask.
Is this mask suitable for retinol beginners?
The sheet-mask format limits contact time compared with a leave-on retinol serum, which is part of why the brand positions short masking sessions as a more approachable way to try retinoids. Bakuchiol sits alongside the retinol and hydroxypinacolone retinoate on the list as a gentler plant-derived partner. Even so, anyone new to retinoids should start with occasional use and watch for irritation before making it a regular step.
What peptides are in this formula?
Six peptides appear on the ingredient list: palmitoyl tripeptide-1, palmitoylpentapeptide-4, hexapeptide-9, acetyl hexapeptide-8, tripeptide-1 and copper tripeptide-1. They sit in the closing stretch of the list behind the retinoid and botanical actives, rounding out the essence for a firming-focused finish once the retinoid work is done.
How does this mask stay calm despite the retinoids?
Centella asiatica extract and its purified compound madecassoside are both named on the list, working to keep the session comfortable while the retinol and hydroxypinacolone retinoate do their work. Propolis extract adds a further calming layer near the end of the ingredient list, which is a common pairing for retinoid formulas that expect some initial sensitivity.
How often should I use this mask?
Because it combines multiple retinoids in one session, this is meant as an occasional treatment rather than a nightly habit, more in line with how a leave-on retinol serum is introduced gradually. Watch for redness, tightness or peeling after the first couple of uses and space sessions further apart if any of those show up.

How to use
- Use one sheet in the evening after toner, instead of your serum.
- Wear it for the time on the pack, then pat in the essence and put your moisturizer on.
- Alternate evenings if you also use a leave-on retinoid, rather than stacking both.
- Do not use it on the same evening as an exfoliating acid.
Worth knowing
- Propolis Extract is bee-derived, so this formula is not a vegan one.

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.

In skin, different peptides can encourage different things, from collagen formation to a reduction in inflammation to helping with wound healing depending on their structure.
