How To Use

Application: After cleansing and applying your usual evening serums (including vitamin A if used), apply H.E.O.® Mask as the final step of your nighttime routine. Smooth an almond-sized amount of Step 1 (blue gel) over face, neck, and décolletage, carefully avoiding the delicate eye area.

Frequency: Apply 2-3 times per week or as required when skin needs an intensive overnight hydration boost

Timing: Use in the evening as an overnight treatment. Allow Step 1 to absorb for a few minutes before applying Step 2. Leave both steps on overnight and cleanse as usual in the morning.

Layering: Apply after all serums and treatments but replace your regular night cream. Can be layered with Medik8 Hydr8 B5 Intense serum for supercharged hydration results. Perfect for use alongside vitamin A products, providing essential barrier support during retinoid adjustment.

Expert Tips: For optimal results, use during times of increased skin stress such as travel, seasonal weather changes, party season, or pre-event preparation. Patch testing prior to use is advised.

FAQ

Q: How often should I use the H.E.O.® Mask?
A: Our experts recommend using the mask 2-3 times per week for optimal results. You can also use it as needed during times of increased skin stress such as travel, seasonal weather changes, or when your complexion requires an intensive overnight hydration boost.

Q: Can I use this mask if I'm using vitamin A (retinoid) products?
A: Absolutely. The H.E.O.® Mask is ideal for skin adjusting to vitamin A products, providing essential barrier support and hydration. Apply the mask after your retinoid serum as the final step of your evening routine. The barrier-strengthening properties help minimise potential dryness or sensitivity associated with vitamin A use.

Q: How long does it take to see results?
A: Clinical studies demonstrate that skin barrier function improves from just one use, with users waking to visibly plumper, more hydrated skin. For sustained improvements to moisture retention, fine lines, and overall skin texture, consistent use 2-3 times weekly is recommended. The formula provides 72 hours of continuous hydration and barrier support following each application.

Q: Is this suitable for oily or combination skin?
A: Yes, the H.E.O.® Mask is suitable for all skin types. Even oily skin can experience dehydration, and the non-comedogenic, fragrance-free formula provides essential moisture without clogging pores or adding excess oil. The lightweight gel step delivers hydration whilst the cream step seals moisture without feeling heavy.

Q: Can I use my regular moisturiser after applying the mask?
A: The H.E.O.® Mask is designed to replace your regular night cream on the evenings you use it. Apply it as the final step of your routine after cleansing and serums. The two-step system provides complete moisturisation, so no additional cream is needed.

Q: What makes this different from using a regular moisturiser?
A: Unlike conventional moisturisers that may only contain one or two moisturisation elements, the H.E.O.® Mask combines humectants, emollients, and occlusives in a clinically optimised ratio. This comprehensive approach delivers 72 hours of hydration and barrier support—significantly longer than typical moisturisers—whilst visibly improving fine lines, texture, and overall skin health.
