The Face Shop Real Nature Aloe Mask is a single 20 g sheet mask soaked in an essence of aloe leaf extract, glycerin, panthenol and sodium hyaluronate. It gives skin that feels dry or tight a quick drink of hydration, leaving it soft and refreshed. Our pouch gives the aloe extract as 224 ppm (0.0224%), so we chose it for its overall hydrating essence rather than as an aloe treatment.
What it does
Glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, betaine and panthenol draw in water and help skin feel comfortable, and The Face Shop describe the aloe essence as soothing and hydrating. A little shea butter and lecithin add softness. The essence also contains alcohol (fifth on our pouch) and fragrance, so it will not suit every sensitive skin.
Why we chose it
It is a simple, affordable way to add a hydration moment to your week. If you want calming without fragrance, SKIN1004 Quick Calming Pad has only ten ingredients.
Best for
- Dry or dehydrated skin that wants a quick top-up
- Skin that feels tight after flights or central heating
- A quick hydration step when you want something lighter than a cream mask
- A fresh, hydrated look before an event
Not ideal if
- You avoid fragrance: it contains fragrance plus the allergens alpha-isomethyl ionone and hexyl cinnamal
- You avoid alcohol: alcohol is the fifth ingredient on our pouch
- You have a nut allergy: it contains shea butter. The pouch also says not to use it if you are allergic to adhesive bandages, or on broken, irritated or itchy skin
Key ingredients
- Aloe barbadensis leaf extract (224 ppm, 0.0224%, on our pouch): the essence The Face Shop describe as soothing
- Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate: hydration
- Panthenol and betaine: comfort and moisture
- Shea butter and lecithin: softness
Texture and finish
A soft sheet, which The Face Shop describe as naturally derived from tree extracts, soaked in a light, water-type essence.
Where it goes in your routine
After cleansing and toner. Unfold the sheet and smooth it over your face, adjusting it around the eyes, nose and mouth. Leave it on for 10 to 15 minutes, as the pouch directs, then remove it and pat the leftover essence into your skin. Finish with moisturiser. Use it whenever skin feels dry or tight.

Good to know
- Contains fragrance, with the allergens hexyl cinnamal and alpha-isomethyl ionone
- Contains alcohol (fifth ingredient)
- Contains shea butter (nut-derived)
- No retinoid and no exfoliating acids
- Aloe extract: 224 ppm (0.0224%), as given in the Korean ingredient list on our pouch
- The pouch says it is formulated without parabens (methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl), triethanolamine, propylene glycol, tar colourants and mineral oil
- Pouch warnings: Discontinue use immediately if a rash or irritation develops. Consult a physician if rash or irritation persists. Do not apply on broken, irritated or itching skin. Keep out of reach of children. Do not store at extreme temperatures or in direct sunlight. For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use if you are allergic to adhesive bandage.
How long should I leave it on?
10 to 15 minutes, as our pouch directs. Leaving a sheet mask on longer does not add more hydration and can start to feel uncomfortable as the sheet dries.
How much aloe is in it?
Not much. The Korean ingredient list on our pouch gives the aloe extract as 224 ppm, which is 0.0224% of the formula. We chose it as a simple hydrating mask with glycerin, panthenol, betaine and sodium hyaluronate, not as an aloe treatment.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
The Face Shop describe it as gentle on sensitive skin, but it contains fragrance (with the allergens hexyl cinnamal and alpha-isomethyl ionone) and alcohol as the fifth ingredient. If your skin reacts to either, choose a fragrance-free option such as SKIN1004 Quick Calming Pad. If you usually get on with fragranced products, patch test first.
Can I use it after a day in the sun?
Only if your skin feels dry, not burnt. The pouch says not to apply it to broken, irritated or itchy skin, so skip it on sunburn.
Can oily skin use it?
It depends on your skin. The essence is light and water-type, so oily but dehydrated skin can usually use it, then follow with a light moisturiser. There is a little shea butter in it, so if you are very breakout-prone and avoid butters, check the list first.
