Lamelin Deep Moisture Hand Mask

It's a glove-type hand mask — you slip it on like a pair of thin gloves, leave it for 15–20 minutes, then remove and massage the remaining essence into your skin. The sealed glove design keeps active ingredients in continuous contact with the hands throughout the treatment, which gives them more time to absorb than a cream you apply and immediately wash off or rub away. It targets dry, rough skin and softens the hands in a single session.

The formula contains seven forms of hyaluronic acid — including hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, and potassium hyaluronate — which work at different depths to deliver and retain moisture. Shea butter softens rough and thickened skin, particularly around knuckles and cuticles. Squalane and argan oil provide barrier-restoring lipids. Allantoin calms irritation and smooths rough texture. Urea gently softens hardened areas by supporting natural cell renewal. Centella asiatica extract adds anti-inflammatory support.

Leave it on for 15–20 minutes on clean, dry hands. After removing the gloves, don't rinse — massage the remaining essence into the skin until fully absorbed. This post-removal step matters because the essence left inside the glove contains the same active ingredients and is worth using rather than discarding. For maximum effect, avoid washing your hands for at least 30 minutes after the treatment.

It depends on how dry your hands are. For hands that are frequently exposed to water, cold weather, or cleaning products — which describes most people in regular daily life — once or twice a week gives consistent results. For occasional dryness or as a treat, using it before a special occasion or when skin feels particularly rough is perfectly effective. There is no risk of over-moisturising with this type of treatment.

The core difference is occlusion and contact time. A hand cream applied openly begins to rub off and evaporate within minutes of normal use. The glove design creates a sealed environment where ingredients stay against the skin for the full 15–20 minutes without drying out or being lost to friction. For people whose hands are persistently dry despite regular cream use, the delivery method is the variable that changes the result — not just the ingredients.

Yes — this is one of the areas where it performs most directly. Urea and allantoin both address hardened and cracked skin specifically, while shea butter softens the thickened skin that tends to build up around knuckles. The glove format ensures these ingredients reach the cuticle area thoroughly, which is harder to treat with a cream you're rubbing in quickly. If cuticle dryness is the main concern, apply the mask before bed rather than midday so the skin has time to continue absorbing overnight.

Anyone whose hands are regularly exposed to conditions that dry out the skin — frequent hand washing, cold or dry weather, manual work, cleaning products, or extended time in air-conditioned environments. It is particularly well-suited to people who use hand cream daily but find it insufficient for their level of dryness. It is also a practical gift option for the same reason: it is a treat that solves a real, common problem.
