The former mimics the moisture your body naturally produces, strengthening the skin barrier by creating a moisture barrier.

This cocktail of Vitamin E derivatives, Olive Oil and Pomegranate Flower extracts deliver moisture and nutrition deep into the skin, at the same time preventing moisture loss and strengthening the skin barrier. Soft and non-sticky, the balm melts into the lips for immediate hydration; it also doubles as a gloss topper for your lip combo thanks to its high-shine finish.

Hyaluronic Acid, Aloe Vera and Heartleaf extracts assist in maintaining balanced hydration levels and calming sensitive skin, reviving a dull, congested complexion.

STYLEVANA K-Beauty Review: The medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask is truly unlike any other PM treatment: this peel-off mask is meant to be applied at the end of your routine (yes, post-moisturizer) and slept in for removal in the AM, revealing a plumped and glowy appearance. It’s formulated with Collagen to boost skin elasticity, Ceramide NP for hydration and fortifying the skin barrier, and Adenosine for smoothing out fine lines. It garners one-of-a-kind results that have you looking and feeling restored when you wake up from your beauty sleep.

They’re also waterproof, sweat-proof and strongly adhesive to keep up with your day-to-day life without peeling off of your skin.
