Wake up to deeply hydrated skin. The two-phase H.E.O. Mask, an overnight mask, offers a groundbreaking and thorough scientific perspective on long-lasting hydration.
The product is developed around three key hydration strategies: humectants (H), emollients (E), and occlusive ingredients (O) are combined in an optimal ratio developed in the Medik8 laboratory. The ingredients work in harmony, complementing each other and making your skin soft, supple, and perfectly hydrated while you sleep.
Low skin moisture content is due to a natural lack of water (e.g., not drinking enough water) or an ever-increasing process called transepidermal water loss or TEWL. Simply put, it is the evaporation of water through the skin's surface and is a normal, healthy skin function. However, excessive TEWL makes the skin continuously moisture-poor. This problem worsens over time, as the amount of lipids and moisture factors in the skin decreases with aging, leading to a weakening of the skin's natural barrier and thus increasing TEWL.
A moisturizer can solve this problem in three ways: Increase the skin's water content, prevent water from rising to the skin's surface, and minimize evaporation. Humectants, emollients, and occlusive ingredients possess these respective properties. Each of these elements helps to moisturize the skin. Many moisturizers contain two out of the three elements, but to achieve the best effect, H.E.O. Mask contains all three - in an optimal ratio - enabling comprehensive hydration.
The Medik8 research team developed the ultimate ratio of humectants, emollients, and occlusive ingredients by trying several different options and collecting instrumental data (using a corneometer) as well as detailed user feedback to determine optimal moisture levels. This unique combination of the most effective moisturizing active ingredients is found only in the H.E.O. Mask.
Phase one: a cooling blue gel immediately fills the skin with moisture; multi-weight hyaluronic acid, glycerin, natural moisturizing factors (NMF), and other scientifically proven humectants draw water molecules into the upper layers of the skin.
Phase two: a rich, velvety cream that ensures moisture retention in the skin and enhances the skin's natural ability to store water; full of high-quality emollients like squalane and ceramides that nourish the skin's natural barrier together with dimethicone, a scientifically proven occlusive ingredient, forming a protective film on the skin's surface that reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
The H.E.O. Mask is Medik8's answer to moisture-poor and particularly dry skin, offering long-lasting, comprehensive hydration for all skin types.
