| Upgraded with Clear Fit performance that gently tightens your face while hydrating the skin |
This upgraded mask ( REX stated on the packaging ) is made with 100% PT CELL derived from bamboo with excellent moisture retention capability. It has a face lifting effect ( Clear Fit performance ) as the sheet is naturally contracted with active ingredients absorbed into the skin.
But because of its thin, fine and silky soft material, the sheet mask also "tangle" up easily so just need slight effort to spread out the mask for layering on skin. ( note : the material used in the Impact Essential Mask series is much softer and crumbly than those in Proatin Mask series )
The cutting is not perfect - a short forehead area with a slightly shorter nose flap but pretty comfortable on skin so its a minor issue. The fragrance may come across as pretty strong but thankfully, it dissipates shortly, leaving just a hint of it.
It has a tightening sensation during application so it feels like its clingy on the skin.
In terms of ingredients, Mediheal Collagen Impact Essential Mask REX contains the following :
- Collagen, Elastin : Whitening, moisturizing, increases skin elasticity, shrinks pores, calms fine lines and delays aging.
- Hyaluronic Acid : Water-locking, skin lasting moisturized.
After a 20 minute masking session, my skin is much smoother, plumped and slightly brighter! Loving this mask!

Mediheal A:PE Soothing Proatin Mask is a high moisturized creamy serum liquid based functional mask that provides 19 types of Amino Acid and moisture to help recover skin barriers and improve their functions to lock moisture into the skin. It helps to keep skin healthy and smooth.
The Mediheal Proatin masks contain 4 variants :
- A:PE Soothing : A:PE protective barrier to correct broken skin rhythm
- D:NA Aquaring : D:NA Essential Barrier with moisture barrier
- P:EP Firming : P:EP Elastic Barrier to establish tight elasticity
- R:NA Whitening : R:NA Whitening Barrier to prevent melanin formation
Mediheal A:PE Soothing Proatin Mask ( A:PE stands for Advice : Protection Emollient System ) has soothing, anti-aging and anti-wrinkly improvement properties. It helps to protect the skin from harmful environment by alleviating skin irritation and strengthen the barrier of the skin so that skin is healthy and smooth.
Made of an ultra-close-up cellulosic sheet that maximizes skin adhesion by combining nanofiber technology with bamboo, the sheet mask uses a water matrix structure to help maintain moisture for a long time due to its water storage ability. The material is thin and soft, making it layering on the skin comfortable. The scent is mild and hardly makes a difference.
However, it has a shorter forehead area and a slightly shorter nose flap. Adding on, this is the first mask with an extra flap for intensive moisturizing on lips which covers 50% of the lips, but I tend to flip them up to be on the upper lips area as I don't like any sticky essence on the mouth.
After a 20 minute masking session, my skin is brighter, less dehydrated with smaller pores and the redness on the broken capillaries on the sides of my nose minimized. And somehow the mask also helps to draw out the sebum and dirt in my pores ( also known as the sebaceous filaments that is white in colour ) which I would then use a cotton bud to scrape them off the sides of my nose.
In terms of ingredients, Mediheal A:PE Soothing Proatin Mask uses Leontopodium Alpinum Callus Culture Extract. Lactobacillus, Eriodictyon Californicum Ferment Extract to protect skin from harmful environment and keep it healthy and smooth.
19 amino acids, peptides, edelweiss extract callus cultures, Lactobacillus/Eriodictyon Californicum Ferment Extract are major ingredients to help strengthen the skin barrier and cultivate a smoother skin.

The upgraded function 'Clear Fit' has excellent effect in V-zone care. It tightens facial line and also the clear fit function enables sheet transformation by changing the white sheet to transparent type. (Gel Type)
Mediheal Watermide Hydrdrop Essential Mask REX is made from a thin, soft crumbly material with a strong fragrance that dissipates shortly. While it feels comfortable on skin initially, it soon tightens slightly, clinging onto the skin. The sheet mask does not contain paraben and phenoxyethanol.
After a 20 minute masking session, my skin looked slightly brighter and felt smoother. However, there was some redness where the pigmentation spots are ( mainly on my cheeks ). And strangely, I don't feel that there was sufficient hydration on the day I was using the mask while battling with some skin dehydration. This mask may just be suitable for those who needs hydration as a daily maintenance but not for those with severely dehydration issue.
In terms of ingredients, Mediheal Watermide Hydrdrop Essential Mask REX contains Aqua Seal and Niacinamide, an excellent skin brightening ingredient to brighten your skin, keeping it smooth and radiant.

Mediheal A:PE Soothing Proatin Mask
Mediheal H.D.P Pore-Stamping Black Mask ( Shopee )
Mediheal R:NA Brightening Proatin Mask promises brighter, younger and more moisturized skin. The Proatin Mask forms a strong skin barrier with the core energy ingredients such as 19 amino acids, peptide and moisture to build healthy and smooth skin.
Soaked in a creamy serum made with niacin and glutathione, a combination that inhibits melanin production, effectively brightening dark spots and giving you a more radiant complexion, Mediheal R:NA Brightening Proatin Mask ( R:NA stands for Radiant: Niacin Activator System ) is also rich in vitamins and antioxidants to keep skin supple and healthy.
Made of a thin and soft cellulosic sheet material that is comfortable on skin, the mask cutting is slightly smaller as compared to most masks in the market with a shorter forehead area, a slightly shorter nose flap and the mask does not reach to the edges of the face. It has an additional lip flap but since I don't fancy anything sticky on my mouth, I usually flip it upwards to be on the upper lips area.
The scent is mild and hardly makes a difference. Whats impressive is that, despite the eye cutout area being cut close to the eyes, there was no uncomfortable sensation or messy dripping, in fact, it holds the creamy essence pretty well.
A 20 minute masking session made my skin looking brighter with more refined pores. Unfortunately, I have 2 tiny bumps on the undereye area which is something I have never experience with sheet masks before.
In terms of ingredients, Mediheal R:NA Brightening Proatin Mask uses an ingredient known as nicotinamide (aka Niacin), a vitamin found in food, for whitening effect and wrinkle care. Gluthathione and Ascorbyl Glucoside provide energy to fatigued skin due to stress and harmful environments while the whitening effect of Niacinamide brightens up dark and dull skin.
