Cica Sleeping Mask with Centella Asiatica for Moisture Barrier Support

LANEIGE Cica Sleeping Mask is a thick balm-cream you leave on overnight to calm skin that has had a rough day. Centella asiatica does the soothing, a stack of humectants and lipids does the moisturising, and the whole thing is aimed at a moisture barrier that has stopped holding water properly.

What it actually does

• Calms the red, angry days. The Centella Repair Complex is the soothing engine here — LANEIGE positions it as both a calming agent and a barrier support ingredient.
• Backs that up with soothing humectants. Ectoin, allantoin and panthenol are included specifically for comfort and nourishment rather than for active treatment.
• Moisturises on several fronts. Glycerin pulls in water, squalane and vitamin E cushion, and niacinamide rounds out the moisturising side of the formula.
• Wraps skin without suffocating it. The brand describes the balm-cream as breathable hydration, which is why it sits as an overnight mask rather than an occlusive slug layer.
• Built for sensitised skin. It is fragrance-free and intended for skin that is irritated or reactive, which is unusual for a mask this rich.

Brand-reported results

LANEIGE publishes the following from its own studies. These are the brand's figures, and individual results vary.

• Instrumental testing, 34 women using it twice daily: skin barrier measurement improved by 21% at four weeks.
• Self-assessment, 31 women at four weeks: 97% reported less redness and 91% felt it helped repair a damaged moisture barrier.
• Self-assessment, 34 women after a single day: 97% said it soothed sensitised skin and 97% said it helped skin hold on to moisture.
• Same group at four weeks: 91% said it eased the roughness of distressed skin.
• Repeated tape-stripping test, 34 women twice daily: barrier recovery from physical damage measured 2.8 times faster immediately after use versus not using it.

How to use

1. Moisturise first. This goes on top of your usual moisturiser, as the last step.
2. Smooth an even layer over the face. No need to pile it on in patches.
3. Let it sink in, then sleep in it. Give it a moment to absorb before your pillow.
4. Rinse in the morning and carry on with your usual AM routine.
5. Twice a week is the floor. LANEIGE suggests at least two nights a week, and says nightly use is fine if you want the most from it.

Questions

Does it replace my night cream?

No — it's designed to go over your moisturiser as a final sealing layer, not instead of it.

Can I use it every night?

Yes. The brand's minimum is two nights a week, and it says daily use gives the best outcome. If your skin feels congested, pull back to twice weekly.

Is there any fragrance in it?

It's fragrance-free, and LANEIGE lists it as free of parabens, phthalates, mineral oil, oxybenzone, hydroquinone, SLS and SLES sulfates and several other commonly avoided ingredients. It's also vegan, gluten-free and cruelty-free.
