Laneige Mask

A sleeping mask is a thick, occlusive gel that goes over your regular evening routine. The gel layer locks in the moisture from the toner, serum, and moisturizer you applied first, prevents trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) while you sleep, and typically contains additional actives that work during the 6-8 hours of contact time. Unlike a regular moisturizer, you do not massage it in - you apply a thin layer, let it set, and sleep. In the morning you rinse it off.

Because the skin's repair processes are most active at night, sleeping masks give actives an extended window to work without disruption from environmental stressors or makeup. LANEIGE's masks are particularly well-known for their gel texture, which is comfortable to sleep in without feeling heavy or tacky on the pillow.

The Water Sleeping Mask EX is LANEIGE's flagship sleeping mask and the product that established the category as a Korean skincare standard. Its formula centers on mineral water from the Alps, hyaluronic acid, and a blend of plant extracts that increase the skin's overnight water content. The EX version updates the original with an enhanced formula and a slightly lighter texture.

It suits all skin types, but is most appreciated by dry and dehydrated skin. Apply a pea-to-cherry-sized amount over the entire face as the very last step. The gel is white, becomes translucent as it sets, and rinses easily in the morning. Use it two to three times a week as a treatment rather than every night, unless your skin is very dry.

The Cica Sleeping Mask is built around centella asiatica (cica) - a plant extract with documented anti-inflammatory properties that helps calm redness, reduce irritation, and strengthen the skin barrier. It is the most suitable LANEIGE sleeping mask for skin that is reactive, post-exfoliation sensitive, or dealing with environmental damage.

The texture is slightly richer than the Water Sleeping Mask and has a faintly green tint from the cica extract. It works particularly well after a day of heavy sun exposure or after using a strong exfoliant - it soothes the skin through the night and reduces morning redness. Use it on nights when your skin feels reactive rather than as a daily step.

The Bouncy and Firm Sleeping Mask targets elasticity and firmness alongside overnight hydration. Its formula includes collagen and peptide ingredients that support the skin's structural proteins during the repair window of sleep. The texture is a denser, bouncier gel than the Water or Cica versions - firmer to the touch when you scoop it, though it still spreads thinly and sets comfortably.

It is best suited for skin that is beginning to show signs of sagging or loss of bounce - typically skin in its late 20s or older that wants overnight anti-aging care alongside moisture. It works as a standalone evening mask or on top of the Perfect Renew 3X serum for a combined anti-aging and firming routine.

The Bouncy and Firm Eye Sleeping Mask applies to the orbital area - the under-eye and brow bone - as a concentrated version of the Bouncy and Firm formula. Apply a small amount with the ring finger using light tapping after your regular eye cream, leave it overnight, and rinse in the morning. The extended contact time gives the collagen and peptide ingredients more opportunity to address fine lines and loss of firmness around the eye than a standard eye cream alone provides.

It is not a standalone replacement for a daily eye cream - use your regular Water Bank Eye Cream in the daytime, and the Bouncy and Firm Eye Sleeping Mask over it two to three evenings per week.

The LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask is an overnight treatment for dry, flaking, or chapped lips. You apply it to lips as the last step before sleep, leave it overnight, and peel off the dried outer layer (or wipe off) in the morning to reveal softer lips underneath. The formula is a mix of occlusives, vitamin C, and berry extracts that moisturize and gently exfoliate dead skin from the lip surface during the night.

On skinsli, the Lip Sleeping Mask EX comes in six flavors: Grapefruit, Vanilla, Berry, Mango, Sweet Candy, and Mint Choco. The flavor affects scent and taste but not the core formula or efficacy. All six deliver the same overnight moisture result. Choosing a flavor is personal preference.

The six Lip Sleeping Mask EX flavors are: Grapefruit (citrusy, fresh), Vanilla (warm, sweet), Berry (mixed berry, slightly tart), Mango (tropical, fruity), Sweet Candy (sugar-sweet), and Mint Choco (cool mint with chocolate undertone). All have a mild scent that fades within minutes of application. If you sleep with your face near a partner, the subtler flavors - Vanilla and Grapefruit - tend to be the least noticeable.

For first-time buyers, Berry and Vanilla are the most-ordered across the range. For people who dislike sweet scents, Grapefruit or Mint Choco offer a less candy-like experience. The Mango and Sweet Candy variants are popular for gifting.

All LANEIGE sleeping masks - face and lip - apply at the final step of the evening routine, after your last moisturizer. For face masks, two to three times per week is the standard frequency. Using them every night is not harmful, but the cleansing step in the morning adds friction to the routine and some people prefer to alternate with a regular moisturizer as the final step on off nights. The Cica Sleeping Mask is best reserved for nights when skin is visibly irritated rather than used on a fixed schedule.

For the Lip Sleeping Mask, nightly use is common and appropriate - lips do not overproduce oil the way facial skin can, so daily overnight use does not lead to the same issues that over-occluding the face might cause. Apply as much as needed to fully coat the lip surface.
