Name: Hydra Fix Face Mask
Brand: SkinQ Rx

Indication

Intensive hydration treatment. Indicated as Step 3 in the Hydration Protocol — applied 2× per week in the PM after the daily serum. The 15-minute leave-on format delivers a hydration surge unachievable by daily serum or rinse-off products. Also prescribed in Nourishment/Hydration post-procedure regimens (1× weekly from Day 3 post-laser/peel).

Single-use sachet format — no preservative load, no contamination risk.

Mechanism of Action

A high-concentration leave-on matrix — the 15-minute contact time enables deeper penetration of humectants and ceramides than any rinse-off or daily serum format can achieve.

Sodium Hyaluronate (95.04%) — High MW forms a dense moisture-retaining film; Low MW penetrates the epidermis. Drives the +87% Corneometer improvement at 30 min.

3 Essential Ceramides — Replenish the intercellular lipid matrix during the contact window. Drives +17% TEWL improvement.

Lactic Acid (88.2%) — Removes textured dead-cell layer that impedes hydration absorption. Primes the surface for the HA + ceramide penetration.

Squalane (95%) — Skin-identical emollient creates sustained-release environment, extending active contact efficacy through the 15-min application.

12 Amino Acids + Niacinamide — Replenishes NMF and stimulates endogenous ceramide synthesis — extends the hydration response beyond application.

Dosage & Administration

Cleanse thoroughly with Skin Balance Gentle Cleanser and pat dry.
Apply Hydra Fix Serum as usual (Step 2). Allow 60 seconds to absorb.
Open one sachet and apply a generous, even layer to face and neck — avoid eye contour.
Leave on for 15 minutes — do not rinse until full contact time is complete for maximum penetration.
Rinse with cool water, pat dry gently. Follow immediately with Hydra Fix Balm to seal the treatment.

Frequency

2× per week · PM only. Each 5-sachet pack provides 2.5 weeks of use. The +47% sustained hydration at 24 hours means the mask's effect carries through to the following day's AM routine.

Post-Procedure Use
