The longest lists here
Masks we group for barrier repair
Sixty-two masks we group for barrier repair, from 38 brands - 29% of the catalogue. The median list runs to 30.5 entries, the longest of the four shelves here, against a catalogue median of 26. Yet length does not crowd out restraint: this shelf also holds the highest fragrance-free share and the highest pregnancy-clear share of the four.

Prices are indicative, captured once from the source recorded on each product page, and they drift. 19 of the 62 per-use figures are estimated from pack size at a typical application rather than counted off a sheet count.
“Masks we group for barrier repair” means we grouped these masks by reading what each sets out to do and what its formula suggests - not a phrase copied off the pack, and not a claim that any of them will help with a compromised skin barrier. What is counted below is the ingredient list.
The short read
At a median of 30.5 entries these are the longest lists of the four shelves with a page, against 26 for the catalogue as a whole. A mask grouped here tends to read as a longer formula, not a shorter one.
The grouping is ours: a mask is here because its stated purpose and its formula point at a compromised skin barrier, not because we found the words “barrier repair” on the box.
Thirty-four of the 62 leave fragrance off the list and 49 of the 62 carry nothing the encyclopaedia flags to check in pregnancy - the highest of the four shelves here on both counts. The shelf with the longest lists is also the most restrained on those two readings.
Twelve of the 16 overnight masks in the whole catalogue sit here. The rest is sheet-heavy at 27, with 13 cream and 10 hydrogel behind it.
What these lists print that others do not
Not the most common ingredients - water is on nearly every list ever written and tells you nothing about who a mask is for. These are the entries that appear far more often on this shelf than across the 215 masks as a whole, counted by encyclopaedia entry rather than by printed name. A name appearing here is a reading of the label, not a statement that it does anything.
- Well tolerated
- No meaningful concern for most people; irritation is possible but rare.

Names without a link have no encyclopaedia entry yet, so we make no claim about them beyond the count.
The sixteen concerns side by side
The dataset sorts masks into sixteen concerns, and only four have a page. Hydration covers 70% of the catalogue, so a page over it is the catalogue with a new heading, and two more are too small to carry one. Seven are already published under another heading - every oil-control mask is on the oily skin page, every firmness mask on the mature skin page - and re-heading our own indexed shelf is worse than re-heading the catalogue. The last two clear every mechanical test and are left out on a judgement instead: soothing sits exactly on the catalogue median of €1.75 an application and 26 entries, dullness within €0.10 and one entry of both, and four pages was the scope set for this family. Neither is excluded for good. Every figure here is counted across all sixteen, so the superlatives above are scoped honestly.

A mask is usually grouped under more than one concern, so the columns do not sum to 215. The grouping is ours throughout, read from what each mask sets out to do and what its formula suggests.
