VT Cosmetics Cica Daily Soothing Mask
VT's cica mask is sold in large boxes and priced to be used daily, which is unusual — most sheet masks are positioned as an occasional treat. The essence is centella-led with madecassoside, on a thin sheet, and the proposition is frequency rather than intensity — a small dose of the same soothing botanicals, repeated, instead of a strong one now and then. It became a staple partly through the brand's long-running association with BTS.
What it is built around
Who it suits
Skin that is chronically flushed or reactive and responds better to consistent gentle input than to occasional strong input. Oily and breakout-prone skin do well. Dry skin will need a cream over it every single time. If you dislike the ritual of daily masking, a good centella essence delivers the same ingredients with far less packaging.
How to use it
After cleansing and toner, ten to twenty minutes, up to once a day if you want. Press in the residue and moisturise afterwards. Nightly use is not required for it to work — three times a week is a reasonable middle ground and makes a box last considerably longer.
