ANOTHERFACE Peptathenol Aqua Balance Gel Mask

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-16

What is this product?

A four sheet box of hydrogel masks from ANOTHERFACE, 35g per sheet, worn about 30 minutes. The Korean statutory disclosure runs 52 entries and it is filed as a dual functional cosmetic for brightening and wrinkles, with niacinamide at position 6 and adenosine at 23 as the notified actives. Panthenol is disclosed at 10,050 ppm, and five hyaluronate family entries sit through the list. The sheet is a carrageenan and Irish moss hydrogel with the inner carrier layer removed so the gel meets skin directly, which is what reported use praises: adhesion and no dripping are the two most counted topics. The peptide story the name leads with is present at trace, nine peptides printed by the brand itself at 0.007 ppm and below. Fragrance is declared as the final entry.

What makes it different?

It prints levels for its peptides rather than hiding them, and those printed levels, 0.007 ppm down to 0.0001 ppm, undercut the abundance the product name implies. The structural choice is the real one: no inner carrier layer, so the gel sits directly on skin, which is what reported use praises.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.

We could not place these in the list above: 카프릴릭/카프릭트라이글리세라이드, 글리세릴스테아레이트, 피이지-100스테아레이트, 폴리솔베이트60, 시어버터, 폴리글리세릴-10라우레이트
