([Journal of Ginseng Research, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35035244/))
- A 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, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))

## What reviewers say

Based on limited data, users with dry, mature, or dull skin frequently praise this mask for its rich, creamy texture and innovative "double wrapping" sheet that locks in moisture, delivering deep hydration and an immediate "glass skin" glow. The firming and plumping effects are also highly rated, though the steep price point leads most reviewers to reserve it as a "special occasion" treatment rather than a daily staple.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Sulwhasoo Concentrated Ginseng Renewing Mask work for sensitive skin?

This mask works reasonably well for sensitive skin, though other products fit it better. A product of this type needs effective soothing ingredients that address redness and irritation without posing any risk of irritation, along with hydrating agents to keep the skin calm and balanced.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for sensitive skin?

Panax Ginseng Root Extract and Hydrolyzed Ginseng Saponins help plump and strengthen sensitive skin. Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate also provide hydration and soothing effects that may help calm redness and irritation. A nourishing mask for sensitive skin needs extra soothing and calming ingredients that handle redness safely without harsh irritants.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Panax Ginseng Extract do for sensitive skin?

Panax ginseng extract helps calm sensitive, irritated skin and reduces redness and itching. It is generally well tolerated and may improve skin comfort, though products for sensitive skin also need soothing and hydrating ingredients to keep the skin barrier strong and protected.
Sources: [Annals of Dermatology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29853744/), [Journal of Korean Medical Science, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28244297/)

### What does Ginseng Root Extract do for sensitive skin?

Ginseng Root Extract helps calm skin redness and keeps sensitive skin comfortable by reducing irritation. It also supports skin strength to make it less reactive over time.
Sources: [Phytotherapy Research, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30506753/), [Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24289140/)

### Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This mask goes into a weekly routine for sensitive skin, following an enzyme powder and coming before a treatment and moisturizer. To fit sensitive skin better, a nourishing mask of this type needs calming ingredients and barrier-supporting extracts like centella asiatica or ceramides.

### Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this mask in your weekly routine alongside retinol, applying the mask before your treatment step to help soothe and hydrate your skin. This product is unlikely to cause irritation on sensitive skin, but a nourishing mask for this skin type needs gentle barrier-supporting ingredients and soothing hydrators like glycerin and hyaluronic acid.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### How often should I use this mask?

You can use this nourishing mask once a week as part of your routine. It is safe for sensitive skin with no harsh ingredients, though a product with extra calming and barrier-strengthening ingredients may fit this skin type better.
Sources: [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?

This mask is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores for sensitive skin since it is free of harsh ingredients, though sensitive skin generally needs lightweight hydration and soothing plant extracts like centella asiatica to stay calm without feeling heavy.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### 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.
