PhilosophypH-balanced skincare with a focus on maintaining the skin's acid mantle. Every product formulated at skin-compatible pH levels.Clinical-grade sheet masks and targeted treatment pads, bringing dermatology-backed ingredients to daily skincare at mass-market prices.

Abib

Abib's pH-first philosophy isn't just marketing — they formulate every product at skin-compatible pH levels, which is more than most brands bother to do. Their sheet masks are among the best in the category: good fit, good essence, no sticky residue. A quiet brand doing the fundamentals right without needing to shout about it.

Pros

✓ Genuinely pH-balanced formulations
✓ Sheet masks are best-in-class
✓ Clean, minimal ingredient approach
✓ Good for sensitive and reactive skin

Cons

✗ Small product range
✗ Brand is less well-known internationally
✗ Sheet masks are single-use (eco concern)
✗ Limited innovation beyond pH focus

Mediheal

Mediheal is the top-selling skincare brand at Olive Young for two years running — beating more than 3,000 brands. Their sheet masks created the modern sheet mask category, and their Madecassoside Blemish Pad saw 820% year-over-year growth. If you only add one new sheet mask brand to your routine, make it this one.
