The newest K-beauty skincare trend from Seoul has been the arrival of Menokin’s long-awaited bubble mask. You might already be thinking, what’s special about a bubble mask? There have been great, cleansing bubble masks for decades. But this is not a wash-off mask or cleanser – this is a face mask that comes in bubble form. 

It’s been carefully designed by the Menokin team to give the same experience as a sheet mask, that usually sits on your face for 10-15 minutes to provide a nourishing, hydrating experience. Menokin wants to beat that in 30 seconds. They’ve created 5 flavors, that come with a pump, producing a fine, gentle foam that sits on the face and lightly tickles as it absorbs deeply to create a soft glow. 

So, is this the fun your skincare has been missing? Let’s explore the 5 kinds and find out if this is exactly what you’ve been craving at the end of the day: 

This bubble mask comes with soothing cica exosomes and heartleaf (houttuynia cordata) extract to provide a deep, soothing effect for the end of the day. It comes with hyaluronic acids, brightening niacinamide and gardenia extracts to brighten, hydrate and relax skin at the end of a long day. It is deeply hydrating, promotes skin radiance and is fragrance free, PEG free and safe for sensitive skin, too.

This bubble mask works overtime to give glassy, hydrated and gorgeous skin with just 3 pumps and 30 seconds. Their moisture-filled formulation has 8 types of hyaluronic acid and nourishing cacao extract to give a glossy finish. It also contains centella asciatica to prevent inflammation and provides a holistic, gentle finish to gently moisturize.

If you are struggling with dull skin or blemishes, the fun Bright flavor promotes anti-aging glutathione, nourishing Vitamin C and lemon, grapefruit and mango extracts to deeply brighten and delight skin. This mask brings the radiance with a punch, whilst also soothing previous blemishes and revitalizing dull skin in a fun, lemon-yellow package. 

If you are fine-line conscious and looking for a boost to your natural glow, seek out the Repair flavor. It has ‘epidermal growth factor’ (EGF) liposomes, which are designed to deeply penetrate skin and boost natural collagen and elastin production, to promote youthful skin. This, combined with natural flower extracts (neem flowers, althaea rosea flowers and tropical hibiscus flowers) and nutrient-rich roots (ivy gourd, eggplant, turmeric) provides a rapid boost to skin.

Their last (and probably most famous) in the line-up is their Lift flavor. Injected and powered by natural hibiscus collagen, this mask works to boost elastin in skin and lift natural skin contours and lines. This product contains ultra low-molecular weight collagen (from hibiscus flowers) to deeply penetrate skin and produce maximized results with soothing antioxidants to repair skin layers.

A traditional sheet mask is used in K-beauty routines as an extra treatment step or in place of a serum or essence. They are not as commonly used outside Korea, as the moment you ship them outside Korea, they typically are a tad more expensive than everyday use permits. 

That’s where Menokin was excited to bridge the gap. A single mask pack contains enough product for 70 ‘masks, giving you over two months of everyday use! They also worked hard to make it a versatile product – being able to be used as part of a daily routine before bed, or as a before make-up serum that provides a natural inner glow underneath foundation.

It’s most commonly used after cleansing step in routine; and can be used before or after serums as preferred by user. With 2-3 pumps of foam applied to fingertips, gently tap and spread it across skin from nose outwards. It does not require massaging or circles, as the bubbles will gently dissipate and product will absorb into skin. 

Menokin has been working on their sheet-less mask for two years, and performed over 500 in-house tests to work and perfect their bubble mask formula to ensure it worked well for the advertised skin types, had strong results and was deeply hydrating. They are still most proud of their ‘Lift’ mask and its powerful collagen results (working hard to ensure it was plumping and hydrating). 

They even designed the masks to be used in tandem – layered over the top of each other to deeply boost performance, with their Lift mask being present in every routine to produce plump, glowing skin.  

Menokin is really proud of their patented bubble technology and it has sold out multiple times across South Korea with a big buzz around the ease and new environmentally friendly way to enjoy the benefits of a good sheet mask. It has no sticky texture, comes out as a super light-weight foam and is safe and soothing for sensitive skin.
