IOPE RETINOL RX™ EXPERT
IOPE Retinol Serum In Gel Mask
The IOPE Retinol Serum In Gel Mask is a concentrated Korean retinol face mask designed for intensive care of skin elasticity, wrinkles, pores, texture and radiance.
Powered by RETINOL RX™ 1%, IOPE’s specially designed retinol formulation, this two-layer gel mask delivers concentrated retinol serum to the skin while providing close-fitting wrapping care.
The mask is designed around the concept of delivering the equivalent of a concentrated retinol serum treatment in a single mask. Its DOUBLE LAYER structure combines BANDing GAUZE and COLLAGEN HYDROGEL to help deliver and wrap the skin with the concentrated formula.
One Mask for Intensive Retinol Care
If your main concerns are loss of firmness, fine lines, wrinkles, enlarged-looking pores, uneven skin texture or dullness, the IOPE Retinol Serum In Gel Mask provides concentrated care in a convenient sheet mask format.
| Key Care | What It Helps Address |
|---|---|
| Firming Care | Loss of elasticity and skin firmness |
| Wrinkle Care | Visible fine lines and wrinkles |
| Pore Care | The appearance of pores and pore area |
| Texture Care | Uneven-looking skin texture |
| Radiance & Hydration | Dull-looking and dehydrated skin |
RETINOL RX™ 1% — Concentrated Retinol Formula
At the heart of the mask is RETINOL RX™ 1%, an exclusive retinol formulation designed by IOPE. The formula is designed at the molecular level as part of IOPE’s retinol research and development.
According to IOPE, RETINOL RX™ refers to its independently designed cosmetic retinol formulation. The mask is designed to provide concentrated retinol care while addressing the need for effective delivery through its specialized mask structure.
Why Retinol?
Retinol is a well-known skincare ingredient widely used in anti-aging routines. It is commonly associated with the care of visible signs of aging, including fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture and loss of skin firmness.
The IOPE Retinol Serum In Gel Mask is designed for users looking for a more concentrated retinol treatment than a conventional daily skincare step.

DOUBLE LAYER Technology
The IOPE Retinol Serum In Gel Mask uses a specialized two-layer structure designed to support concentrated retinol delivery and close-fitting wrapping care.
1. BANDing GAUZE
The BANDing GAUZE layer is designed to hold a concentrated amount of retinol serum. Its structure is designed to avoid the heating process used during conventional gelation, helping retain the concentrated retinol serum within the mask.
2. COLLAGEN HYDROGEL
The COLLAGEN HYDROGEL layer closely wraps the skin after the concentrated formula is delivered, helping create a close-fitting treatment environment.
DELIVERY + WRAPPING
The combination of the BANDing GAUZE and COLLAGEN HYDROGEL layers is designed to provide concentrated delivery and close-fitting wrapping care in one retinol sheet mask.
40-Minute Intensive Retinol Mask Care
The mask is designed to provide concentrated care without requiring an extended application time. For the standard intensive care routine, IOPE recommends using the mask for approximately 20–40 minutes.
After removing the mask, gently pat the remaining essence into the skin to help it absorb.
How to Use IOPE Retinol Serum In Gel Mask
STEP 1. Apply the Mask
After cleansing, prepare your skin with your usual skincare routine. Remove the protective film from the mask and carefully apply it to the face.
For proper adhesion and wrapping, distinguish between the two sides of the mask. Place the BANDing GAUZE side with the white film toward the skin according to the manufacturer’s recommended application method.
STEP 2. Remove After 20–40 Minutes
Leave the mask on for approximately 20–40 minutes. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into the skin until absorbed.
For intensive care, IOPE states that the mask may be used for longer than 20–40 minutes depending on the desired routine.
Retinol Usage Tips for Beginners
If you are new to retinol skincare, gradually introduce concentrated retinol products into your routine. IOPE recommends using the mask 1–2 times per week during the first two weeks and keeping the initial application under 40 minutes.
Retinol can increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen as the final step of your morning skincare routine, particularly after using retinol products.
