Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask 120ml

The Sulwhasoo Overnight Vitalizing Mask is a restorative sleeping mask designed to support the skin's nightly regeneration with its signature Hanbang herbal complex and fractionated ginseng.

What It Is

This is a luxury Korean sleeping mask, positioned as an intensive overnight treatment rather than just a moisturizer. It addresses concerns of dullness and lack of vitality by creating a subtly occlusive layer that helps concentrated Hanbang actives penetrate more effectively. Unlike a standard night cream, this mask provides an extended contact time for its ingredients. While the Laneige Cica Sleeping Mask focuses on barrier repair, the Sulwhasoo mask centers on a traditional herbal approach, offering deep nourishment and a sophisticated anti-aging experience.

Key Ingredients

• Fractionated Korean Ginseng: Supports natural collagen production and cell turnover, improving skin resilience and firmness during overnight repair processes.
• Jujube Fruit Extract (Ziziphus Jujuba): A traditional Korean ingredient providing antioxidant benefits, it helps soothe skin and contributes to a more vital, healthy complexion.
• Pomegranate Extract (Punica Granatum): Rich in antioxidants, this extract aids in protecting the skin from environmental stressors and promotes a brighter, more even skin tone.
• Licorice Root Extract (Glycyrrhiza Glabra): Known for its brightening and anti-inflammatory properties, it helps calm redness and improve overall skin clarity.

The formula emphasizes a balanced blend of traditional Korean medicinal herbs, known as Hanbang, alongside modern extract technologies. Its focus is on gentle, comprehensive skin support rather than aggressive actives. This mask is formulated to a skin-friendly pH and is free from harsh alcohols and artificial dyes.

Will it feel sticky or transfer to my pillow?

When applied thinly and allowed a few minutes to absorb before sleeping, the mask should not feel excessively sticky or noticeably transfer to your pillow. Proper absorption is key.

Is this mask suitable for sensitive skin?

The Hanbang formulation is designed to be gentle, but individuals with very reactive skin should perform a patch test due to the botanical extracts. Always observe your skin's reaction.

What is the scent like?

It carries a distinct, warm herbal fragrance, characteristic of traditional Korean Hanbang ingredients. This natural scent dissipates after application, leaving a subtle aroma.
