Product details

The Pure Skin Vitamin C Essence Mask Sheet and its box of ten on a cream table beside mandarin oranges and a lemon slice

Brighten + hydrate

A budget sheet mask soaked in 25 mL of citrus essence, for one easy moment of care a day.

Esfolio’s Pure Skin line is a big family of single-sheet masks, each built around one star extract. The Vitamin C sheet pairs orange, lemon and a touch of vitamin C with glycerin and hyaluronic acid, to hydrate and leave skin looking brighter.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Vitamin C

    The ingredient the sheet is named for, printed on the pack at 10,000 ppb. That is a small, finishing amount rather than a high-strength vitamin C treatment.

    No. 11 of 24 on the list

  • Citrus extracts

    Orange, lemon and vitamin tree (sea buckthorn) extracts, the fruity heart of the essence that Esfolio uses for its brightening effect.

    No. 8, 9, 10 of 24 on the list

  • Glycerin + betaine

    Humectants high on the list that draw water into the skin and keep it feeling moist after the sheet comes off.

    No. 2, 6, 7 of 24 on the list

  • Hyaluronic acid

    Holds moisture at the surface of the skin, for a softer, plumper feel.

    No. 12 of 24 on the list

A small daily treat

Cheap enough to use every day, it’s an easy way to give skin a dose of moisture and a fresher, brighter look.

Good to know

  • The ingredient list here is for the Vitamin C sheet. The other variants (Peach, Strawberry, Green Tea, Aloe, Collagen and more) each use their own extract and have their own ingredient list, so check the pack of the one you pick.
  • Contains alcohol (third on the list) and fragrance, with limonene and citral. If your skin is sensitive to alcohol or fragrance, patch test first.
  • Contains methylparaben as a preservative.
  • Each sheet holds 25 mL of essence and is sold one at a time; Esfolio also boxes them in tens.
