Clinical Report : 0° Hydrogel Mask

The insight

With the use of a single mask, changes were observed across indicators related to soothing, tone, sebum balance, radiance, and wrinkles, helping the skin appear more stable, clear, and well-conditioned.

In a clinical test using the MarkView 3D skin analyzer, reductions in redness, sebum, melanin, brown pigmentation, and wrinkle-related indicators, as well as improvements in radiance and skin tone indicators, were observed after 1 use and 7 uses. In particular, after 7 uses, melanin decreased by up to approximately 59.5%, brown pigmentation by up to approximately 56.3%, sebum by up to approximately 38.1%, wrinkle-related indicators by up to approximately 30.8%, and porphyrin by approximately 68%.

1. Redness Improvement
After using the hydrogel mask, a decrease in redness indicators was observed. In an internal test conducted on a 65-year-old male subject, redness levels decreased by approximately 31% after 7 uses.

2.Reduction in Brown Pigmentation 
Brown pigmentation indicators decreased in both subjects after 7 uses. Based on internal test results, the 65-year-old male subject showed an approximately 25% decrease, while the 35-year-old female subject showed an approximately 56.3% decrease. 

3.Sebum Reduction
Sebum indicators showed a decreasing trend after use. Based on internal test results, the 65-year-old male subject showed an approximately 38.1% decrease after 7 uses, while the 35-year-old female subject showed an approximately 31.6% decrease after 1 use. 

4.Porphyrin Reduction
In an internal test conducted on a 35-year-old female subject, the porphyrin indicator was observed to decrease by approximately 68% after 7 uses.

5.Melanin Reduction
Melanin indicators showed a decreasing trend in the internal test. The 65-year-old male subject showed an approximately 59.5% decrease after 7 uses, while the 35-year-old female subject showed an approximately 46.7% decrease after 1 use.

6.Radiance Increase
Radiance indicators showed an increasing trend after use. In particular, in the internal test conducted on the 65-year-old male subject, the radiance indicator increased from 1 to 13 after 7 uses.

7.Reduction in Wrinkle-Related Indicators
Wrinkle-related indicators showed a decreasing trend after repeated use. Based on internal test results, the 65-year-old male subject showed an approximately 11.8% decrease, while the 35-year-old female subject showed an approximately 30.8% decrease.

8.Improvement in Skin Age Indicator
According to MarkView analysis, the skin age indicator showed a trend of improvement after repeated use. The 65-year-old male subject was shown to have a 6-year decrease after 7 uses, while the 35-year-old female subject was shown to have a 3-year decrease after 7 uses.


A second-generation hydrogel formulation 
that integrates essence delivery, cooling, adhesion, stability, and expanded care into one experience.

1.More than 3x greater active ingredient release compared to the control group
After placing the lower part of the company’s hydrogel on top of 10 oil blotting sheets, essence transfer was confirmed on the final 7 sheets. 
Control group: 2 sheets


2.Adhesion and tensile strength that remain stable even in active conditions
Applied with a polymer-peptide bonding structure → Tensile strength of over 1.8 MPa, approximately 3x higher than that of other companies’ products


3.Biodegradability / solubility with environmental consideration
A formulation in which the hydrogel structure completely dissolves within 1 minute under specific temperature conditions, leaving no solid residue


4.Skin temperature responsiveness / formulation resilience / cooling sensation
Temperature resilience and cooling performance verified 
Skin temperature reduction: –6.3°C 
Recovery rate: 99%


5.Light transmittance that enables expanded care with LED devices
With excellent LED light transmittance, this is the only formulation that can be used together with LED skincare devices.
