The most fragranced shelf

Masks for mature skin

Fifty-five masks we group for mature skin - the dearest to use of any skin type in the catalogue, at a median of €1.95 an application, and the least fragrance-free. Only 17 of the 55 leave fragrance off the list, well under the catalogue's own 37%. The grouping is ours, read from what each mask sets out to do, so it is a shelf to read closely rather than a promise about ageing.

Prices are indicative, captured once from the source recorded on each product page, and they drift. 15 of the 55 per-use figures are estimated from pack size at a typical application rather than counted off a sheet count.

Masks for mature skin” means we grouped these masks for mature skin, read from what each sets out to do and what its formula suggests - not a phrase copied off the pack, and not advice that any of them will suit your skin. What is counted below is the ingredient list.

The short read

  • The dearest use of any skin type in the catalogue, at a median of €1.95 an application: the anti-ageing shelf is also the priciest.

  • The least fragrance-free, too - just 17 of the 55 are unscented, against 37% across the catalogue. Thirty-eight print a fragrance.

  • The grouping is ours, not a brand claim. A mask is here because its purpose and formula point at firmness and fine lines; nothing on this page asserts it will change either.

  • Only 4 of the 55 contain an essential oil and 7 a drying alcohol, so the fragrance here is overwhelmingly a declared synthetic rather than a botanical one. The lists are long - a median of 28 entries against the catalogue's 26 - and lean towards sheet, hydrogel and cream over clay.

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.

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 eight skin types side by side

The dataset sorts masks into eight skin types, but only four have a page of their own. Normal, dehydrated, combination and dry each cover most of the catalogue - a page over two-thirds of the masks is the catalogue with a new heading, not an analysis. The four with a page are the ones a filter cannot summarise. Every figure here is counted across all eight, so the superlatives above are scoped honestly.

A mask can be grouped for more than one skin type, so the columns do not sum to 215. Dehydrated skin is derived from what a mask does rather than authored, because an oily face can be dehydrated too.
