Medik8 H.E.O. Mask - 100ml

Does your skin feel tight, dull and thirsty at night – because of cold air, indoor heating, menopause, or because you are stepping up your vitamin A strength? Then the Medik8 H.E.O. Mask (an intensive two-step overnight mask) is the obvious choice. It is designed for very dry, dehydrated skin and for skin with a compromised barrier that needs long-lasting moisture rather than a quick fix.

How it works

H.E.O. stands for the three pillars of moisturisation in an expertly optimised ratio. The gel step delivers humectants that attract and hold water: glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, urea and saccharide isomerate, supported by aloe vera and allantoin for a soothed feel. The cream step adds emollients such as squalane and linoleic acid, plus ceramide NP to support the skin barrier. Occlusives seal everything in and limit moisture loss overnight. The result is clinically proven hydration for up to 72 hours.

Texture and where it fits in your routine

The gel feels fresh and light, the cream is richer and nourishing; together they leave a comfortable, non-sticky veil. Use the mask 2-3 times a week – or nightly on very dry skin – as the final step of your evening routine, in place of your usual moisturiser. Ideal after Crystal Retinal, especially when moving up a step. In the morning, follow the CSA philosophy with C-Tetra Luxe or Daily Radiance Vitamin C and Advanced Day Ultimate Protect SPF 50+. Avoid the immediate eye area.

Frequently asked questions

Which step of the CSA routine is this?

It is the final evening step: cleanse, optionally use Press & Glow, apply your vitamin A serum and then the H.E.O. Mask instead of your moisturiser.

Can I combine it with retinal?

Yes. Apply the mask after your Crystal Retinal. It supports the skin barrier precisely when you are building up your vitamin A level.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The mask is intended for dry, dehydrated and sensitive skin with a compromised barrier. If in doubt, patch test on a small area first.

The H.E.O. Mask works in two steps. The gel contains humectants such as glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, urea and saccharide isomerate that attract and bind water, with aloe vera and allantoin for a soothed feel. The cream adds emollients including squalane and linoleic acid, plus ceramide NP to support the skin barrier. Occlusive ingredients seal everything in and limit moisture loss while you sleep. Together they hydrate for a clinically proven up to 72 hours, leaving skin visibly plumper and stronger against water loss.

Use the H.E.O. Mask in the evening as your final step. Cleanse, optionally use Press & Glow and your vitamin A serum. Then apply the gel step first, followed by a generous layer of the cream over face and neck, avoiding the immediate eye area. Leave it on overnight; no rinsing needed. Use two to three times a week, or nightly on very dry skin, in place of your night cream.

You wake up with skin that feels smooth, plump and comfortable. Dryness and dullness visibly reduce, and fine lines look less noticeable as the skin holds more moisture. With regular use the barrier feels stronger and your skin retains hydration for longer.

• Hyaluronic acid – Can hold up to 1000 times its weight in moisture and provides intensive hydration
• Squalane – Intensely hydrates and helps restore the natural skin balance
• Ceramides – Lipids that help maintain a healthy skin barrier and prevent moisture loss for soft, supple skin.
