Leaders β Mediu Amino Moisture Mask Rx / Mediu Amino Moisture Mask β what it is, whatβs inside, how it works, pros & cons, how to use, etc. If you like, I can also make a shorter description for ads or in Urdu.
This is a sheet mask from South Korea, made by Leaders / Mediu line. Sometimes called Amino Moisture Mask RX.Β
Itβs a moisture / hydration mask targeting dry, rough, dull skin, or skin that has lost elasticity, barrier strength, or suffering from dehydration.Β
Each mask is aboutΒ 25 ml essence, individuallyβpacked, usually in a box of 10 sheets.Β
This mask has a rich and varied formula. Here are the major active ingredients and what they do:
Ingredient | Purpose / Role |
---|---|
17 Amino Acids (including Lysine, Histidine, Arginine, Aspartic Acid, Threonine, Serine, Glutamic Acid, Proline, Glycine, Alanine, Valine, Methionine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Tyrosine, Phenylalanine, Cysteine) | These amino acids act as Natural Moisturizing Factors (NMF). They help skin retain moisture, assist in skin repair, support barrier function, improve skin elasticity, and help the skin look plump and healthy.Β |
Hyaluronic Acid (Sodium Hyaluronate) | Very good moisture binder; draws in water and helps maintain hydration; plumps and reduces appearance of dryness / fine lines.Β |
Ceramideβ3 | Helps strengthen the skin barrier to prevent moisture loss; supports skinβs protective functions.Β |
Peptides (notably Palmitoyl Tripeptideβ5) | Helps with skin firmness / elasticity; supports repair, may help reduce visible signs of aging.Β |
Botanical / Plant Extracts: e.g. Sugar Maple Extract, Portulaca Oleracea, Chamomile (Matricaria), Arnica Montana, Gentiana Lutea Root, Achillea Millefolium, Artemisia Absinthium, Houttuynia Cordata, Artemisia Capillaris, etc. | Soothing, antioxidant, calming, helping protect from environmental damage; some may also help reduce redness and support repair.Β |
Lipids / Barrier Lipids: C8β12 Acid Triglyceride, Cholesterol, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Phytosphingosine, Stearic Acid, Oleic Acid** | These help replenish / repair lipid barrier, soften and smooth skin, reduce transβepidermal water loss.Β |
Other Supportive Agents: Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Betaine, etc. | Humectants / solvents that help distribute the actives, enhance moisture, make the essence comfortable.Β |
Putting together the ingredients and how users report their experiences:
Deep hydration: The high level of humectants + amino acids + hyaluronic acid draw moisture into skin and help keep it. Helps with inner dryness.Β
Barrier support & repair: Ceramide, lipids, peptides support the skinβs barrier so moisture is retained and skin better resists environmental stress or irritation.Β
Smoothness / softening: The mask helps with rough, flaky areas. Many reviews say skin feels βsoft,β βsupple,β βplumpβ after using.Β
Improving elasticity & skin feel: Because of peptides + amino acids, longβterm use may help reduce minor lines, improve bounce.Β
Instant glow / radiance effect: Users report skin looks more βawake,β more luminous after use. Probably from moisture + smoothing + botanical extracts luminous effect.Β
The essence is fairly rich (not super watery); somewhat thicker / creamyβserum feeling. Some users describe it as βslightly stickyβ until absorbed.
The mask sheet adheres well; stays moist for a long time; there is a generous amount of essence.Β
After removing, the skin feels hydrated, sometimes a bit perceptibly βslipperyβ or βresidual serumβ which requires patting in.Β
Good fit:
Dry / dehydrated skin, flaky or rough patches.
Skin thatβs lost moisture / barrier strength (due to weather, aging, environmental damage).Β
People wanting both instant moisture boost + longerβterm repair (elasticity, softening).
Those who donβt mind a bit of leftover essence / sticky feeling (if applied thickly) but want a pampering mask.
Less ideal:
Very oily skin, especially in humid climates β might feel heavy or leave some tackiness.
Those sensitive to fragrance, plant extracts, essential oils might need patch test.
If you dislike feeling anything on skin for long time or hate residue / stickiness, this may be less comfortable.
Best practices to get maximum benefit:
Cleanse & Tone / Prep: After cleansing, use toner or essence to prep skin so it can absorb mask more effectively.
Apply Mask: Remove from pack, align with face lines, press gently so the sheet completely adheres around nose, mouth, eyes.
Leave On: Usually 15β20 minutes is recommended. Some sources say up to 20 minutes. Donβt leave too long so the mask dries out (could draw moisture back).Β
Remove & Massage: After time, remove mask, then gently massage any leftover essence into skin (face & neck) until fully absorbed. Donβt wash off.
Seal With Moisturiser (Optional): If skin is very dry, follow with a cream / night lotion to seal moisture.
Frequency:
Many sources suggest using 2β3 times per week for good effect, or using it when skin feels dehydrated.Β
Pros:
Excellent hydrating / moisture replenishing effect.
Helps restore and strengthen skin barrier.
Leaves skin feeling soft, more elastic, smoother texture.
Good formulation: amino acid complex + peptides + ceramides + humectants = multiβbenefit.
Generous amount of essence; sheets stay moist and adhere well.
Cons / Things To Be Aware Of:
Could feel a little sticky / leave residue if too much essence or if skin doesnβt absorb quickly.
Might be too rich / heavy for oily or acneβprone skin, especially in hot/humid climates.
Fragrance / botanical extracts may irritate sensitive / reactive skin.
If mask dries out on the face, it may start drawing moisture back, which can be counterproductive.
If used properly:
Immediately after use: Skin feels more hydrated, plump, smoother; rough patches feel softer.
Within a few uses (say over 2β3 uses in a week): Noticeable improvement in skin texture; less dryness; improved glow.
After regular use over 3β4 weeks: Skinβs barrier should be stronger; better resilience vs environmental stress (wind, cold, sun); improved firmness / elasticity; less visible fine lines caused by dryness.
