Tonymoly Intense Care Mask
Tonymoly's Intense Care lineup centers on snail mucin sheet masks, led by the Gold 24K Snail Hydrogel Mask and its eye-mask companion. The range also bundles snail cream, emulsion, toner, and eye cream sets with extra mask sheets, plus a Masterlab Glutathione sheet mask for brightening. Sixteen items in the shop, mostly hydrogel and sheet formats meant for a focused, short-term skin reset rather than daily rotation.

Guide to Tonymoly's Intense Care snail masks
Tonymoly built the Intense Care line around snail secretion filtrate, packaged mostly as hydrogel and cloth sheet masks. The Gold 24K Snail sub-line adds 24K gold leaf and pairs a hydrogel mask with a matching cream, emulsion, toner, or eye cream, so you get a full-size product plus a stack of sheets in one box. Below is what each format does and how the pieces fit together.
What snail mucin does in a sheet mask
Snail secretion filtrate is a mix of glycoproteins, hyaluronic acid, and glycolic acid that the snail produces to repair its own skin. In a sheet mask it sits on top of skin under an occlusive layer, so it hydrates and softens rather than penetrating deeply. It works well after a day of sun, wind, or dry indoor heat, and it layers fine under most moisturizers.
Hydrogel mask vs. cloth sheet mask
The base Intense Care Snail Hydrogel Mask and the Gold 24K Snail Hydrogel Mask are gel sheets, thicker and more clingy than cloth, so they hold essence against skin longer and rarely slide off. The Gold Snail Eye Mask (60 sheets, sold as 30 pairs) is a smaller hydrogel patch shaped for the under-eye area. Cloth sheets, like the ones bundled into the cream and toner sets, dry out faster and are meant for a quicker 10 to 15 minute session.
How the Gold 24K bundle sets are built
Several listings pair a Gold 24K Snail full-size product with a stack of mask sheets: the Cream 45ml comes with 2 cream units plus 10 mask sheets, the Emulsion+ ships with 10 sheets, the Toner+ ships with 10 sheets, and the Eye Cream+ ships with 10 sheets. Each set works as a starter kit for that one step of a routine, letting you trial the full-size item while using the sheets as a separate mask night.
The eye mask option
The Gold Snail Eye Mask sheet is cut to sit under the eye and along the upper cheekbone, where cloth or full-face hydrogel masks don't fit well. With 60 sheets in the box (30 uses for both eyes), it's built for repeated use rather than a one-off treatment, and it's the only item in this collection made specifically for that area.
The Masterlab Glutathione sheet mask
Alongside the snail-based pieces, the collection includes a 10-sheet Masterlab Glutathione Mask (Shine Care), a cloth mask built around glutathione instead of snail mucin. It's a brightening-focused option for anyone rotating masks or wanting a lighter alternative to the heavier hydrogel formats on nights when skin feels dull rather than dry.
How often to use these masks
Hydrogel and cloth sheet masks like these are made for occasional use, generally 2 to 3 times a week rather than daily, since the goal is a concentrated hydration boost, not a replacement for a regular moisturizer. The bundle sets are a good way to test whether the full-size cream, emulsion, toner, or eye cream suits your skin before committing to a larger size.
Storing sheet masks after opening
Each mask comes individually packaged in its own sealed pouch, so the box itself doesn't need refrigeration. Keep unopened pouches away from direct heat and sunlight, and use a mask within a day or two once its pouch is opened, since the essence dries out once exposed to air.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between the plain Intense Care Snail Hydrogel Mask and the Gold 24K version?
Both are hydrogel sheets built on snail secretion filtrate. The Gold 24K Snail Hydrogel Mask adds 24K gold leaf to the gel and is sold alongside a matching full-size product (cream, emulsion, toner, or eye cream) in several listings, while the plain Intense Care Snail Hydrogel Mask (also available as a 10+10 pack) is just the sheet on its own without gold or a bundled item.
How many uses are in the Gold Snail Eye Mask box?
The Gold Snail Eye Mask ships as 60 individual sheets, which works out to 30 uses since each application takes one sheet per eye. It's cut as a smaller patch for the under-eye and upper cheek area, separate from the full-face hydrogel masks in this collection.
How many mask sheets come with the Gold 24K Snail cream, emulsion, toner, and eye cream sets?
The Cream 45ml set includes 2 cream units plus 10 mask sheets. The Emulsion+, Toner+, and Eye Cream+ sets each ship with 10 mask sheets alongside the full-size product. Sheet counts are fixed per set and aren't sold separately from the bundle.
Is the Masterlab Glutathione Mask part of the same routine as the snail masks?
They can be used together but they target different things. The Gold 24K Snail and plain Intense Care masks focus on hydration and skin barrier support from snail mucin, while the Masterlab Glutathione Mask (10 sheets, Shine Care) is a cloth mask built for brightening. Many shoppers rotate the two rather than picking only one.
How often should I use a hydrogel snail mask from this collection?
These are treatment masks, not daily-use products. Two to three sessions a week is typical, spaced out rather than back-to-back, so the concentrated hydration has time to settle before the next mask. The eye mask can be used on the same schedule or on off days from the full-face masks.
