How to apply
- You can use this sheet mask in your PM routine about 2-3 times a week. Smooth it gently over your face and relax.

Questions and answers
Why is SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Daily Mask a weak match for mature skin?
This nourishing mask is a weak match for mature skin because it offers only moderate nourishment and general hydration that mostly supports wrinkles and fine lines rather than actively targeting them. A product of this type needs effective hydrating ingredients like collagen and niacinamide that address wrinkles and fine lines while keeping skin soft and smooth.
Which ingredients make this mask a poor fit for mature skin?
This mask is a weak match for mature skin because its ingredients offer only general hydration that is mostly supportive for wrinkles and fine lines, rather than targeting them deeply. To fit mature skin well, a nourishing mask needs effective hydrating ingredients like collagen and niacinamide that specifically address wrinkles and fine lines while keeping the skin soft and smooth.
What does Carrot Seed Oil do for mature skin?
Carrot seed oil helps protect mature skin from daily damage because it contains antioxidants and provides mild sun protection. It keeps skin feeling soft and smooth while maintaining good stability in your skincare routine. This type of skin also needs ingredients that boost moisture and support firmness as it ages.
What does Beta-Carotene do for mature skin?
Beta-carotene helps mature skin by acting as an antioxidant that protects against environmental damage and helps smooth the look of lines and wrinkles. It is unlikely to cause irritation and supports overall firmness, though it works best when paired with nourishing moisturizers and daily sun protection.
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This nourishing mask is meant for weekly use in a routine for mature skin, where it fits after the enzyme powder and before your treatment and moisturizer. A product of this type needs richer nourishing and firming ingredients to properly care for mature skin and smooth out lines.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask in your routine, applying it before your treatment and moisturizer on your weekly mask days. This product is unlikely to irritate your skin, but a nourishing mask for mature skin needs richer anti-aging ingredients and deep hydrators to effectively smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
How often should I use this mask?
This nourishing mask is a weak match for mature skin and is best used once a week as part of your routine. A mature skin type needs richer anti-aging ingredients like retinol, peptides, and potent antioxidants to visibly firm and smooth deep wrinkles.
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for mature skin, as it has a safe formula with no harsh ingredients. However, because it is a weak match for mature skin, a nourishing mask of this type needs rich hydrators and firming ingredients like peptides or retinoids to truly smooth lines and care for mature skin.
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
What the research says
Topical beta-carotene provided protection for the human skin of healthy volunteers against IR radiation by acting as a superficial antioxidant, though dermal carotenoid degradation was significantly higher for standard infrared radiator than for water filter infrared irradiation.
Experimental Dermatology, 2011Beta-carotene at low concentrations significantly decreased the major metabolites of arachidonic acid and linoleic acid in human epidermal homogenates and inhibited 13-hydroxy-cis-9, trans-11-octadeca dienoic acid formation by up to 80% compared with the control in a semi-in vivo skin penetration model.
The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 1996Topical application of an emollient emulsion containing 15.0% caprylic/capric triglyceride doubled the amount of urocanic acid isomers and increased skin hydration with reduced transepidermal water loss in healthy subjects, though it did not prevent ultraviolet-induced urocanic acid isomerization.
Life, 2023A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Pre-treatment with beta-carotene at 1.5 microM modulated UVA-induced gene regulation in HaCaT human keratinocytes through multiple mechanisms not restricted to singlet oxygen quenching, reducing the effect for 143 genes and enhancing it for 180 out of 568 UVA-regulated genes.
The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2005Alginate hydrogel dressings co-loaded with cinnamon-mediated silver nanoparticles, beta-carotene nanocarriers, and Centella asiatica extract demonstrated antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli over a 24-h period while mitigating silver-induced cytotoxicity and oxidative stress in human keratinocyte cells.
Gels, 2025The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012
Why other nourishing masks fit mature skin better
Topical post-laser application of human adipocyte-derived mesenchymal stem cell media combined with niacinamide significantly improved wrinkle index, melanin index, patient satisfaction, and investigator esthetic improvement scores compared to vehicle cream in patients with aging skin.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021Topical hyaluronic acid filler serum combined with Botulinum toxin type A lengthened the duration of the toxin's effect in reducing wrinkles compared to Botulinum toxin type A alone.
Dermatologic Therapy, 2022Treatment with a combination of niacinamide and hyaluronic acid improved skin aging signs and demonstrated a senomorphic effect by decreasing SASP and autocrine signaling genes in women.
