A Hydrogel mask has more benefits than a cotton-based mask. It is known for locking in moisture and it easily fits the contours of your face. Regarding its appearance, a hydrogel mask looks a bit thicker, especially compared to the face masks that are made of thinner, microfiber material.
The main issue with cotton and paper masks is they won’t fit the contours of your face correctly. But you won’t face any such problems with a hydrogel mask.
They will adhere to any face shape with ease and ensure that every inch of your eye contours feels the benefits of the ingredients. While removing a hydrogel mask from its packaging, make sure that you don’t pull or tug on it with too much force. If you do, you may end up with a handful of mask fragments, so be careful!
Nearly all hydrogel masks are hydrating in nature, because, as the name suggests, they are made of gel that is known to hold a lot of water. Hydrogel masks contain a substance called hyaluronic acid, which is a popular hydrating ingredient used in cosmetic products.
Hydrogel face masks are generally transparent, delicate sheets, and thus safe for handling. This type of mask is completely soluble, and when placed on your face, it may feel like a gentle, light extra layer.
If we look back into the history and core purpose of bio-cellulose masks, they were originally manufactured only for medical applications. They were used in the treatment of burns, as well as chronic wounds.
Since they were initially manufactured for skin burns and chronic wounds, they suit all skin types, including dry or sensitive skin! Bio-cellulose masks are proven to deliver the key ingredients from the fabric into the layers of your skin.
A bio-cellulose mask is manufactured completely with natural fiber and good bacteria. Compared to microfiber masks, masks made from bio-cellulose are far easier to apply to your skin. Thus, a bio-cellulose mask will not allow the ingredients to easily evaporate.
If you’re wondering what is special about bio-cellulose masks, you will get a common answer: the enhanced technology that is used in its fabric. In today’s market, most masks are made up of fabrics that come from coarse fibers or wood pulp, and such masks are produced on a large scale.
Some famous bio-cellulose masks are made in a safe laboratory environment. In bio-cellulose production, Acetobacter Xylinum is used. By consuming some specific substrates such as sugar, these bacteria produce ribbons of cellulose in the purest form, and this in turn is harvested for cosmetic use cases.
Fibers made of bio-cellulose are four times stronger than ordinary cellulose produced by plants. Thus, they can easily attract and keep the same moisture locked inside at a greater capacity.
If the need for bio-cellulose fibers increases, compared to plant cellulose, the fibers can be easily grown for bio-cellulose production on a large scale. The long threads of bio-cellulose fiber produced can be woven into a three-dimensional fabric.
A bio-cellulose mask has an impressive benefit - hydrophilicity. It is estimated that the fibers of a bio-cellulose mask can retain up to 100x more water than other, weaker fibers.
A bio-cellulose mask is entirely eco-friendly and organic. The bio-cellulose fiber is nearly 1000 times thinner than a human hair! The adhesive property of these masks will ensure that the important ingredients go deep inside your skin so that you receive all the benefits of the ingredients.
Bio-cellulose masks are widely used by many people because of their soft and moisturizing texture, which helps the skin breathe. Its special and carefully crafted structure also ensures that it is soft and lightweight.
If we compare the two, a bio-cellulose mask can hold a higher concentration of skin-enriching ingredients than a hydrogel mask, which can act as a barrier between your delicate skin and the benefits of amazing ingredients. A bio-cellulose mask also facilitates better absorption of the skin care formulation.
A hydrogel mask comes in two separate pieces which are sometimes uncomfortable and can slip off your face. On the other hand, a bio-cellulose mask is available in two separate pieces or a single sheet. You can easily put the eye masks on your face and rest with ease if you are using a bio-cellulose mask.
Bio-cellulose masks are completely biodegradable whereas the hydrogel masks contain a small number of synthetic fibers, making them unfit for degradation.
Hydrogel masks and bio-cellulose masks help with rejuvenating the skin and nourishing the skin with natural ingredients. If you are looking for a great bio-cellulose undereye mask that suits any type of skin, then you should try the Gemini Under Eye Masks with the trademarked LOOK OLÉOACTIF® formulation.

If you’re a night owl, then the skin underneath your eyes may need some extra love. A few extra Zzz’s or a dab of your favorite face cream may help, but more often than not, they’re just a temporary fix. Well, my trademark formula for LOOK OLÉOACTIF® uses the goodness of the following ingredients, to help you say goodbye to your dark circles!
1. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice
Aloe Barbadensis leaf juice or aloe vera as it’s more commonly known has wide applications in skin care for its cell-regenerative and soothing properties. It also contains campesterol and bradykinin, which impart anti-inflammatory properties and improve microcirculation, respectively. One of the best properties of Aloe Barbadensis leaf juice that makes it a key active ingredient in my product is that it can penetrate deep into the skin. It, therefore, provides deep hydration that keeps your skin radiant and healthy! This star ingredient facilitates the removal of dead skin cells from your skin’s epidermal layer and promotes skin rejuvenation. This is all thanks to proteolytic enzymes that give it an astringent power, which in turn activates cell renewal.
2. Terminalia Arjuna ExtractThis ingredient is extracted from the Terminalia Arjuna or Arjuna tree which is recognized in Ayurvedic Science for its medical properties. Native to the Indian subcontinent, the extract has four active mechanisms. Terminalia Arjuna extract is used to improve the skin’s suppleness and combat the red- blue pigmentation of dark circles underneath the eyes. Another benefit is that it helps reduce visible blood vessels and puffiness in your eye contour area, making it the perfect ingredient in an under-eye mask.
3. Xanthan Gum
Xanthan gum in skin care is utilized as an emulsifier, binder, texture enhancer, or thickening agent. This ingredient is a polysaccharide carbohydrate that consists of several bonded sugar molecules. It is created when simple sugars ferment, due to the Xanthomonas Campestris bacteria, from which it gets its name. Since it has binding properties, xanthan gum in skin care is used to prevent the splitting or separating of other ingredients in the formulation. Another common role of xanthan gum in skin care is as a thickening agent.In products like an under-eye mask, the thickness is a sensory aspect and makes it feel great against your skin. Even in small concentrations of less than a percent, this ingredient can make formulations thicker and improve their texture significantly.
4. Oleic Acid
The term “acid” must’ve put you on high alert - a potent chemical that may burn your skin? No thanks! But in the right amounts, they have some great benefits! Oleic acid belongs to the category of omega-3 fatty acids, and the human body produces it too! Plant-based oils like grapeseed and olive oil are excellent sources of this colorless, odorless acid.The benefits of oleic acid for skin are several! While in its pure form, it disrupts the skin’s barrier. But, when used with other fats or lipids, oleic acid can reduce dryness and sensitivity, while keeping skin nourished from deep within. Oleic acid for skin care products improves their texture. It also shields some other delicate ingredients like antioxidants from getting spoilt due to excessive sun or air exposure. It, therefore, improves the product’s durability.
5. Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract
You may have already got a hint from its name! This ingredient is extracted from the German Chamomile or Chamomilla Recutita plant which has several favorable applications in skin care. It contains a significant amount of α-bisabolol, which imparts anti-inflammatory properties to it, and therefore, reduces redness or inflammation. It is also believed to be a natural moisturizer, nourishing the skin from deep within.
6. Sodium Hyaluronate
Sodium hyaluronate is derived from hyaluronic acid or HA, a natural acid that is found in our bodies. While both HA and sodium hyaluronate can be used in skin care products, the latter has smaller molecules and is water-soluble. This enables it to reach the deepest layers of the skin, and improve its water retention.Sodium hyaluronate in skin care has several benefits. When it’s applied, it moisturizes the skin cells, which minimizes dry and flaky skin. Fine lines or wrinkles are more noticeable when your skin is dry. Since sodium hyaluronate nourishes the skin and hydrates it, it slowly fades away fine lines and wrinkles. Other benefits of sodium hyaluronate in skin care products are that it naturally plumps up the skin, leaving it soft and supple. It also aids in fighting the signs of aging and gives the skin a healthy glow.
7. Citric Acid
Citric acid may sound like something to enhance the flavor of food, but it has some great properties that are beneficial in skin care. It belongs to a class of acids called AHAs or alpha-hydroxy acids. Utilizing citric acid in skin care has several benefits, mainly because it is an excellent antioxidant and exfoliant. Its antioxidant properties help fight against external aggressors in the skin’s hydrating matrix, therefore, fading fine lines and wrinkles. The exfoliating properties of citric acid in skin care remove the dead skin cells, and this leaves your skin smoother, softer, and more radiant than ever before. It can also be used as a pH adjuster, to ensure that the skin care product is mild and non-irritating for sensitive skin.
