Latvian brand “Dzintars” launches four hydrogel face masks based on Korean cosmetics technology

The Latvian cosmetics brand “Dzintars” has released a new skincare line of four hydrogel face masks, developed using Korean cosmetics technology and containing high concentrations of active ingredients. They have been on sale in the brand's online shop since November and will gradually appear in other retail outlets.

Each mask comes in two parts, one for the eye area and one for the mouth area, so it can be fitted to the shape of the face. The recommended wear time is two hours. During that time the mask loses its pale blue colour, turns transparent and begins to separate from the skin. If it is worn for a shorter time, the active ingredients are not fully used and the final effect does not occur. The manufacturers say the mask can also be left on overnight.

The four masks

• I DON'T DO 50/50 – a restorative mask with PDRN and centella, intended for skin care and improving skin structure.
• JUST ME AND MY MAGIC WAND – a rice and ceramide mask for intensive hydration, strengthening the skin barrier and a natural glow.
• F*CK IT, I WANT THIS – a collagen and peptide mask with ginseng and shea butter, meant to promote skin firmness and renewal.
• CHAMPAGNE HANGOVER – a peptide and PDRN mask for refreshing tired skin and adding radiance.

The formulas are designed to suit all skin types and ages. The mask containing probiotics may suit skin prone to breakouts best.

Ingredients

PDRN refers to polynucleotides, which are also used in regenerative medicine and aesthetic cosmetology; “Dzintars” uses plant-derived phyto-PDRN. Peptides help maintain skin firmness and elasticity, ceramides help strengthen the skin barrier, and centella asiatica, or Asian centella, is known for its soothing properties.

The masks are not meant to replace a daily cream. Their formulas are concentrated, so using them once a week or on special occasions, such as before or after celebrations and social events, is enough.
