Water Sleeping Mask EX – hydrating night gel-cream mask

💦 Water Sleeping Mask EX – refreshing, hydrating overnight gel mask

Dehydrated skin benefits from intensive hydration, but not everyone likes a heavy cream layer on their face at the end of their evening routine. The LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask EX is a light, fresh gel mask that helps maintain the skin’s pleasant hydration while you sleep.

The fermented ingredient linked to the Sleeping Microbiome™ concept, trehalose, glycerin, squalane and beta-glucan work together to promote softer, smoother, fresher-looking skin. The gel spreads gently and can be especially pleasant on evenings when your skin looks tired, dull or thirsty.

✨ What does it do?

• 💧 Hydrating overnight care – glycerin and trehalose help retain moisture and provide a comfortable skin feel.
• 🫧 Fresh gel texture – easier to spread and less nourishing feeling than a rich cream mask.
• 🧬 Fermented ingredient – Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate complements the hydrating system.
• 🌙 Completes the evening routine – a leave-on mask that does not need to be rinsed off immediately.
• ✨ Fresher complexion – hydrated facial skin may appear smoother, plumper and more radiant.
• 🛡️ Comfort and softness – the formula contains squalane and beta-glucan.

🧬 Key ingredients and their benefits

💧 Glycerin and trehalose

Two well-known moisture-binding ingredients. Trehalose and glycerin help maintain skin surface hydration, which can also be important in relieving tight, dehydrated sensations.

🧬 Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate

A fermented skin-conditioning ingredient linked to the LANEIGE Sleeping Microbiome™ concept.

💦 Squalane and beta-glucan

Squalane complements the gel with skin-softening lipids; beta-glucan enhances the hydrating, comfort-care aspect.

✨ Tranexamic acid and tocopherol

The formula also contains tranexamic acid alongside vitamin E. These skin-conditioning ingredients complement a fresher, more even-looking complexion.

🌙 Why love the gel sleeping mask?

• No need to rinse off after a few minutes: the pleasant gel layer remains part of the overnight routine.
• Gives a lighter feel: a good alternative if richer cream masks feel too heavy.
• Complements the routine well: can be easily incorporated into pre-bedtime care after toner and serum.

🎯 Who do we recommend it for?

Especially suitable for:

• dehydrated and tired-looking facial skin,
• normal or combination skin,
• oilier skin if heavy night creams feel uncomfortable,
• dull, unevenly hydrated skin,
• lighter care on warm summer evenings,
• those who like fresh, gel masks.

💗 Why do we love it?

We love it because it shows that an overnight mask can be light and hydrating at the same time. Morning freshness is built not on a multi-step treatment but on a well-balanced, comfortable texture and moisture-binding ingredients.

💡 MyBelle tip

The Water Sleeping Mask EX contains fragrance; if your skin is sensitive to fragrances, try it first on a small area.

❓ Frequently asked questions

What does EX mean in the name?

The Water Sleeping Mask EX is a previous formula version of LANEIGE marked EX. It is not the same product as the newer Water Sleeping Mask without EX.

No. This can be left on as an overnight mask; in the morning, follow with your usual facial cleansing.

Is it suitable for combination, oily skin?

Yes, due to its light, gel texture, it can be particularly pleasant if rich night creams have not worked for you.

What is Sleeping Microbiome™?

LANEIGE uses this name to denote the EX version’s skincare concept related to fermented ingredients.

How is it different from the Cica Sleeping Mask?

The Water EX focuses on refreshing, gel hydration, while the Cica is based more on richer, creamy comfort care.
