The Medik8 H.E.O. Mask is a two-step overnight mask for hydration that supports the skin barrier and supports natural functions. This facial mask gets its name from the brand's core principles, humectants, emollients and occlusives (H, E and O) and it was based on the idea that the best moisturizers contain all three for long-lasting, deep hydration support and moisturization.
According to the brand, "Step 1 is our pure humectant gel packed with glycerin and hyaluronic acid. Wait for that to absorb and then apply Step 2, which is our nourishing emollient and occlusive cream that locks everything in for 72 hours so you just need to use it twice a week." This transformative skincare duo is optimized to replenish dry and dehydrated skin with multi-weight hyaluronic acid, glycerin, ceramides and squalane.
