Description
Prebiotic sheet mask for microbiome balance and hydration
The skin microbiome — the natural community of billions of bacteria, yeasts, and microorganisms on the skin surface — forms the first line of defense against impurities, irritation, and environmental damage. When this microbiome becomes unbalanced due to over-cleansing, aggressive care, or stress, symptoms such as redness, dryness, and skin that no longer responds well to the usual routine occur. Modern science is therefore increasingly focusing on nourishing the good bacteria rather than fighting them.
The Cosmedix Micro Sheet Mask is a set of five face masks specifically developed for microbiome balance and intensive hydration. Each mask is soaked with a prebiotic serum based on alpha-glucan oligosaccharide — an ingredient that feeds the healthy bacteria on the skin. Supplemented with sodium hyaluronate, almond oil, and coconut oil for deep nourishing hydration. A fifteen-minute ritual that brings the skin into a spa-like state, even on a Tuesday evening at home.
Benefits

- Serum leftovers can be further used on the neck and décolleté
- Five-piece set ideal for weekly use or as a gift
Active ingredients
Alpha-Glucan Oligosaccharide: A powerful prebiotic sugar that specifically feeds the healthy bacteria on the skin. Helps balance the natural microbiome and thus strengthens the skin’s first line of defense against environmental factors. An ingredient recognized as effective in the microbiome skincare movement and the active base of the Cosmedix Micro Sheet Mask.
Sodium Hyaluronate: The salt form of hyaluronic acid with a lower molecular weight, allowing better absorption by the skin. Attracts moisture and retains it in the upper skin layers for an instantly plumped and filled appearance.
Coconut Oil (Cocos Nucifera): A nourishing oil rich in fatty acids and natural antioxidants. Nourishes dry skin and helps prevent moisture loss, with a soothing effect also suitable for mildly irritated skin.
Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis): A traditional plant oil rich in vitamin E, fatty acids, and antioxidants. Softens and nourishes the skin intensively — known for its excellent tolerance, even for sensitive skin.
Camelina Seed Oil: A lesser-known plant oil high in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. Supports the skin barrier and contributes to smooth, hydrated skin.
Sunflower Seed Oil (Helianthus Annuus): A light nourishing oil rich in vitamin E that hydrates the skin without feeling heavy. Works synergistically with the other oils for a dewy finish.
Glycerin: A natural humectant that draws water from the environment and deeper skin layers to the surface. Enhances the immediate hydrating effect of the mask.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol): An antioxidant that protects the skin from oxidative damage and supports the stability of the plant oils in the formula. Contributes to a healthy appearance.
Bentonite: A natural clay type that acts as a texture enhancer in the formula. Helps distribute the serum evenly over the skin and provides a pleasant, creamy texture to the soaked mask.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often per week can I use the Cosmedix Micro Sheet Mask?
For the best results, one to two applications per week are ideal. The set contains five masks — enough for five weeks with weekly use or two to three weeks with twice-weekly use. For special occasions (before a party, after a long trip, during seasonal changes), a more intensive series of several days in a row can also be valuable.
Can I leave the mask on for longer than 15 minutes?
Cosmedix recommends 15 minutes as the optimal application time. Longer than that has no added benefit — when the mask starts to dry, the serum can actually be drawn back out of the skin. For maximum results, respect the recommended application time and then immediately follow with a moisturizer to lock in hydration.
What should I do with the leftover serum in the packaging?
Do not throw it away. Squeeze the packet empty and use the remaining serum on the face, neck, décolleté, or even on the hands. Some users also apply it to the arms for a hydrating boost. The serum is concentrated and too valuable to waste — a great bonus of every sheet mask.
Can I use this mask after a professional treatment?
For the first 24 to 48 hours after a more aggressive treatment (such as a deeper peel or microneedling), it is better not to apply anything to the skin — C.P.R. Skin Recovery Serum or a light hydrator is better suited for that. Afterward, the Cosmedix Micro Sheet Mask can be a valuable addition to the recovery process, provided your skin therapist does not give specific advice against it.
Are these sheet masks suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Yes. The formula contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, or other ingredients that are discouraged during these periods. For those looking for a safe, soothing ritual during pregnancy or breastfeeding, the Micro Defense masks are an excellent choice.
What is the difference between these sheet masks and Harmonize moisturizer?
Both work on the microbiome, but in different ways. Harmonize is a daily moisturizer with prebiotic and probiotic effects for consistent use. The Cosmedix Micro Sheet Mask is a more intensive weekly boost — a concentrated dose of prebiotic serum delivered to the skin in 15 minutes, more than a daily cream can provide. Both can be used together in the same routine.
