Most sheet masks hydrate for an afternoon. This one signals your skin to rebuild collagen.
A sheet mask is a twenty-minute promise. Most deliver hydration that fades by the next morning — a temporary refresh, not a structural change.
The "M" Mask was built around a different question. What if twenty minutes could do more than hydrate? What if the actives in a sheet mask could trigger the same cellular signals your skin uses to rebuild itself?
The answer is a peptide duo called Matrixyl 3000 — a clinically-studied complex that signals fibroblasts to produce collagen and elastin. Combined with a 72-hour hydration anchor, a Vitamin C derivative, and Swiss apple stem cell technology, it delivers a treatment that works long after the mask is discarded.
Here's what the science says.
Peptides That Speak Your Skin's Language
Matrixyl 3000 is a peptide complex composed of two messengers: palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. Both are biomimetic — meaning their structure mirrors signaling fragments your skin already produces during natural repair.
When collagen breaks down through aging or UV exposure, your skin releases small protein fragments that act as repair signals. Matrixyl 3000 replicates those fragments. To your skin cells, the message is indistinguishable from your body's own.
The response is measurable:
Collagen synthesis increases. Palmitoyl tripeptide-1 (derived from the GHK fragment of collagen) stimulates production of collagen types I, III, IV, and VII — the structural proteins most affected by aging.
Fibronectin and hyaluronic acid production rise. The peptides activate the extracellular matrix, the support network that keeps skin firm and resilient.
Inflammation decreases. Palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 reduces IL-6, an inflammatory cytokine linked to collagen breakdown — so the skin rebuilds in a calmer environment.
This is the difference between hydrating skin and signaling it to renew. One is surface. The other is structural.

Proven Results in Human Studies
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, female participants applied Matrixyl 3000 twice daily for two months. Wrinkle parameters were measured by profilometry — a precise imaging technique that maps skin surface topology.
The results:
45% reduction in the surface area occupied by deep wrinkles after two months
Nearly 20% improvement in skin tonicity
17.1% reduction in wrinkle volume, with a 5.4% increase in spread angle
A separate 12-week clinical study measured longer-term effects. Daily application produced significant increases in skin hydration, elasticity, and collagen density — the last measured by ultrasound, an objective imaging method. Dermatological assessments confirmed visible improvement in fine lines and wrinkles as early as the eighth week.
The peptides also showed an excellent safety profile in irritation, sensitization, and genotoxicity testing — meaning they deliver clinical results without compromising tolerability.

Twenty Minutes, Seventy-Two Hours
A sheet mask works through occlusion — sealing actives against the skin so they penetrate deeper than a serum applied to open air. Twenty minutes is the optimal window. Long enough for the peptides to engage with the skin's receptors. Short enough to avoid evaporation back.
But what happens after the mask comes off matters just as much. The "M" Mask is anchored by Pentavitin — a plant-derived carbohydrate complex with the INCI name saccharide isomerate — that binds covalently to the skin's keratin.
Unlike hyaluronic acid, which sits on the surface and attracts water, Pentavitin becomes part of the skin's natural moisturizing factor. Clinical studies show it delivers measurable hydration for up to 72 hours after a single application, even through washing.
The result: the peptides keep signaling. The hydration keeps holding. The treatment doesn't end when you discard the mask. It continues for three days.

The Full Formulation
Matrixyl 3000 and Pentavitin are the two clinical anchors. But the "M" Mask is built around six active ingredient systems working in parallel.
Crystalide — A nanostructured lipid carrier that targets peptide delivery deeper into the skin. The peptides only work if they reach the right cells. Crystalide ensures they do.
Phytocell Tec — Stem cell extract from the rare Swiss Uttwiler Spätlauber apple, the same active that anchors the M Collection. Supports the longevity of fibroblasts, the cells that produce collagen.
BV-OSC — A stable form of Vitamin C (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate) that delivers antioxidant protection without the oxidation issues of pure ascorbic acid.
Niacinamide — Reduces visible discoloration, strengthens the skin barrier, and works synergistically with the peptide complex.
Sodium Hyaluronate and D-Panthenol — Layered hydration support that complements Pentavitin's long-term moisture binding.
