Dehydration and dry skin can be caused by many different factors: skin aging, cold weather, travel, hormonal changes, air conditioning, central heating, and more. These changes can result in an increase in TEWL (transepidermal water loss), a process in which water rises to the skin's surface and escapes, resulting in low moisture levels. HEO Mask is designed to address the visible signs of dryness and dehydration while supporting the skin's natural barrier for improved long-term hydration.

Moisturizing ingredients act as moisture magnets, drawing water in to rehydrate, smooth, and plump the skin. HEO Mask contains multi-weight hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and natural moisturizing factors (NMF) that replenish lost water by creating a hydration reservoir in the upper layers of the skin.
Glyceryl glucoside helps stimulate moisture channels to increase water flow through the skin's layers, while blue sea kale supports the skin's natural production of hyaluronic acid, helping to boost skin's hydration levels long-term.
Soothing ingredients squalane, ceramides and linoleic acid (vitamin F) use their skin-identical, oil-loving properties to glide effortlessly into the skin’s natural barrier, filling in any gaps where moisture can escape while deeply nourishing skin.
Occlusive dimethicone is made up of larger molecules than the other key ingredients, meaning it works to form a breathable barrier over the skin's surface to lock in the benefits of the moisturizing and soothing ingredients, while physically preventing TEWL.

Multi-weight hyaluronic acid
With a unique ability to attract and retain over 1000x its own weight in water, hyaluronic acid draws moisture from the surrounding atmosphere into the skin, leaving skin both nourished and supple.

Natural moisturizing factors
Naturally found in the upper layers of the skin, natural moisturizing factors (NMFs) work to attract and retain water. NMF levels in the skin decrease as we age, so NMF components, including urea, amino acids, and sodium PCA, work to restore hydration to the skin.

Ceramides
Ceramides, which naturally occur in the skin barrier, help replenish the skin and work to mimic the natural lipid barrier to intensely repair and nourish.

Squalane
A nearly skin-identical lipid, squalane helps restore the skin's natural moisture barrier and deeply hydrates the skin.

Dimethicon
Dimethicone is made up of large molecules and forms a breathable barrier over the skin's surface that helps retain hydration and nutrition for long-lasting results.

Dry skin is one of the most common skin problems. It's exacerbated by seasonal changes and modern lifestyles. Dry skin isn't just uncomfortable; it's also a visible problem, causing flaking, fine lines, and peeling makeup. Add to that a weakened skin barrier, which makes you more sensitive and vulnerable to the environment—this is definitely something that's important to address. Unfortunately, it's not that simple, and many common day and night creams simply don't have the power to lock in moisture for drier skin types or skin exposed to a dry environment.

To solve the problem, the Medik8 research team took a step back and asked some fundamental questions about how to hydrate skin. It quickly became clear that it boiled down to three approaches using three different types of ingredients: increasing water content (humectants), preventing water from rising to the skin's upper surface (emollients), and minimizing evaporation (occlusives).

HEO Mask contains all three basic ingredients, in an optimized ratio for synergistic hydration power.
