π¬ Ingredient Breakdown
π§ 6-Type Hyaluronic Acid Complex ~130ppm total Proven
A sophisticated blend of six different molecular weights of hyaluronic acid designed to hydrate multiple skin layers simultaneously, from the surface to deeper epidermis.
- Sodium Hyaluronate (115ppm): Standard molecular weight for surface hydration and barrier protection
- Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer (6.6ppm): Long-lasting moisture retention with film-forming properties
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid (5.4ppm): Low molecular weight for deeper penetration
- Hyaluronic Acid (2.4ppm): Pure HA for immediate plumping effect
- Sodium Hyaluronate 4000D (0.9ppm): Ultra-low molecular weight for maximum absorption
- Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate (0.3ppm): Smallest molecules for deepest penetration
𧴠Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5) 1,000ppm (0.1%) Proven
A powerful humectant that converts to Vitamin B5 when absorbed by the skin. Attracts and retains moisture while soothing and repairing the skin barrier.

- Keratolytic: Gently softens and smooths rough skin texture
π¦ Glycerin Proven
A classic humectant that draws moisture from the environment into the skin. Studies show it may be even more effective than hyaluronic acid for deep hydration.

β Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, this mask is safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It does not contain any ingredients of concern such as retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, chemical sunscreens, or other actives that should be avoided during pregnancy. The formula focuses on gentle hydrating ingredients like hyaluronic acid, panthenol, glycerin, and allantoin.
No, this mask is NOT fungal acne safe. It contains Polyglyceryl-4 Laurate and Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, which are esters that can feed Malassezia yeast. If you have fungal acne (pityrosporum folliculitis), consider alternatives like Torriden DIVE-IN masks which are formulated to be malassezia-safe.
Yes! This mask contains no actives that would conflict with retinol, vitamin C, AHAs, or BHAs. You can use the mask as a hydration boost before or after using these actives. Many users find it especially beneficial to use after retinol or exfoliating acids to replenish moisture and soothe the skin. Just avoid using actives and the mask at the exact same time - let your actives absorb first, then mask, or vice versa.
This mask is best suited for dry, dehydrated, and combination skin types. It's also excellent for sensitive skin as it's hypoallergenic tested. Oily skin types can use it as well - the lightweight, watery formula absorbs without adding greasiness. The only skin types that should avoid it are those with fungal acne due to the polyglyceryl laurate ingredients.
You'll see instant results immediately after the first use - skin will feel more hydrated, plump, and look dewier. With consistent use (3-4 times per week or daily), you'll notice improved skin texture within 1-2 weeks. After 4-6 weeks of regular use, your skin barrier should be noticeably stronger and skin will retain moisture better throughout the day.
Use the mask after cleansing and toner, but before serums and moisturizer. The typical order is: Cleanser β Toner β Sheet Mask β Essence/Serum β Moisturizer β Sunscreen (AM). Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes, then pat the remaining essence into your skin. You can apply your regular serum and moisturizer on top to seal in the hydration.
This mask has a low comedogenic rating of 1/5, meaning it's unlikely to clog pores for most people. The formula is oil-free and water-based, making it safe for acne-prone skin (excluding fungal acne). However, individual reactions can vary - if you have very clog-prone skin, patch test first. The hypoallergenic tested formula is designed to be gentle and non-irritating.
The mask has a PAO (Period After Opening) of 12 months. To ensure the masks stay fresh and saturated, always close the lid tightly after each use. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the masks start to dry out or the essence changes color or smell, discontinue use. With 30 masks and daily use, you'd finish the container in about a month anyway.
Verdict: The Mary&May Hyaluronic Panthenol Hydra Mask is an excellent value-for-money daily sheet mask that delivers on its hydration promises. With 30 masks at under $1 each, a 6-type hyaluronic acid complex, and EWG Green Grade certified ingredients, it's one of the best affordable K-beauty sheet masks on the market. The convenient pull-out design and included tweezers make daily masking hygienic and hassle-free. The only notable drawbacks are that it's not fungal acne safe and contains light fragrance. If you have dry, dehydrated, or combination skin and want an everyday hydration boost without breaking the bank, this is a must-try. For fungal acne sufferers, consider Torriden DIVE-IN instead.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging Β«promisesΒ» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
