| Verdict | Dr. Hauschka's hydration mask — and the most flexible German mask product in the lineup. The formula's hero is quince seed extract (Cydonia oblonga), which has unusual moisture-retention properties — when activated with water, the seeds release a polysaccharide gel that binds water on the skin's surface. Layered with sweet almond oil, avocado oil, jojoba oil, and the Hauschka botanical signatures (anthyllis, calendula, carrot, pulmonaria), the mask delivers genuinely deep barrier nourishment. Use as a 20-min weekly treatment, removed with a warm cloth, or thinly under daytime moisturizer. NATRUE certified natural. At $36 for 30ml, premium-mid pricing — but the dual-use protocol (deep mask or daily layer) extends the per-application cost meaningfully. | Alpine-luxury mask. Overnight leave-on option produces genuine plump-next-morning. |
