Community summary
The most frequently mentioned point is hydration. Hydration stories like 'after the mask, skin feels moist and smooth,' 'less inner dryness,' and 'makeup goes on well the next day' were the most common, at 159 reviews (37%). People repeatedly mention pulling one out when skin feels rough or dry during seasonal changes. That said, these are users' own impressions and vary by person.
Next come value and this set's Sanrio collaboration. Repurchase comments like 'I stocked up several boxes on sale and my fridge is full' and 'bought it again' appeared in 119 reviews (28%), and 'I bought it because I wanted the Cinnamoroll/Pochacco hair clip' in 92 (21%). Some say the clip is handy for holding back bangs, while others say it's smaller than expected. The average among reviews read is 4.88, and the Olive Young rating is 4.9 (13,058 reviews).
The feel centers on a thin sheet and a fresh finish. 90 reviews (21%) say the sheet is thin and adheres without lifting, 64 (15%) mention soothing of redness and heat, and 20 (5%) mention a cool or cooling feel, mostly in reviews of the Catechin type and of storing it in the fridge. That said, some complain about sizing — the sheet doesn't cover under the eyes or beside the nose, or it's too big for their face — and some advise very dry skin to layer cream afterward.

Strengths reviewers kept mentioning
- Hydration — the most-mentioned pointThe most frequently mentioned point (159 reviews). People say that after the mask, skin feels moist and smooth, with less inner dryness and tightness. This ties in with mentions that makeup goes on well the next day (20 reviews).
- Everyday value — a mask to stock up on119 reviews mention repurchasing and value, stocking up several boxes on sale and keeping them in the fridge. Its place as a daily mask you use often without a second thought — one a day or one every other day — is clear.
- Thin sheet — adheres without lifting90 reviews say the sheet is thin and soft, so it sticks to the face without lifting and slides around less when you move. Mentions that it absorbs fresh without stickiness come along with it.
- Sanrio hair clip set — a collectible draw92 reviews mention that the free Cinnamoroll (PDRN) or Pochacco (Heartleaf) hair clip was the reason they bought it. Many say it's handy for holding back bangs while wearing a mask.
Downsides (mentioned repeatedly)
- Sheet size and coverage vary by personA few (about 8 reviews) complain about sizing: it doesn't cover under the eyes, the area beside the nose, or the sides of the nostrils; it doesn't fit a wide forehead; or, conversely, the sheet is too big. How it fits depends on face shape.
- Very dry skin should layer creamBecause the essence is light, the recurring advice is that it's not enough on its own for very dry skin, and to apply cream once more after removing the mask.
- Hair clip size and option-choice regretsSome say the hair clip is about the size of a thumb, smaller than expected, and some regret their option choice — they bought the hydrating one (PDRN) but wish they'd picked the soothing one. It's best to check the differences between the 4 types before choosing.
- Slippery sheet and folding are hit-or-missA few mention the sheet is slippery and slides down a bit, or that it's folded in the film and hard to unfold. Most say it adheres well.
- Based on users' own impressionsHydration, soothing, and the cooling feel are users' own impressions and vary by person. We make no efficacy claims.
Best for
- When you want a hydrating sheet mask to use daily without a second thought during seasonal changes or on dry days. Hydration reviews are the most common
- When you want to stock up on the 10-sheet set during sales and use it often, like one a day
- When heat or redness flares up and you want to cool it down. Cooling reviews are concentrated on the Catechin type and fridge storage
- When you'd also like Sanrio Cinnamoroll or Pochacco goodies
May not suit you if: Very dry skin that wants to finish hydration with a mask alone. The advice to layer cream recurs / When you want a sheet that thoroughly covers the whole face, especially under the eyes and beside the nose. A few complain about coverage / When the hair clip is your main reason and you expect it to be large. Some say it's about the size of a thumb
How to Use Anua Daily Care Mask (4 types: PDRN, Heartleaf, Catechin, Peach)
- The selection rule that recurs in reviews: PDRN for dryness, Heartleaf for soothing redness and breakouts, and Catechin for heat and cooling
- Many share that keeping it in the fridge makes it feel cooler and more refreshing. Some also use it in the morning to reduce puffiness
- For very dry skin, the recurring advice is to pat in the leftover essence after removing the mask and apply cream once more
- If the sheet is folded and hard to unfold, it's easier to spread it out while still on the film, then peel it off and apply. Some use the leftover essence on their neck and arms
Price & buying tips
- The 10-sheet (+1) Sanrio set has a lower per-sheet price than the 5+1 single pack, so many mention stocking up several boxes during sale periods
- Some even say they wouldn't buy it without a discount, so the recurring theme is that the sale price makes a big difference. Compare the Olive Young sale price and the Coupang price before buying Check the price on Coupang →

FAQ
Q. What's the difference between the 4 Anua Daily Care Masks (PDRN, Heartleaf, Catechin, Peach)?
Putting the reviews together, PDRN centers on hydration — moisture, less inner dryness, makeup going on well the next day — while Heartleaf is often used for soothing when redness or breakouts flare up. Catechin collects cooling reviews about feeling cooler when there's heat or flushing, and Peach mostly draws comments about its subtle scent, moisture, and a refreshed look. By option among the reviews read, PDRN was 231, Heartleaf 142, Catechin 22, and Peach 18, so keep in mind the Catechin and Peach samples are small.
Q. Is this the same product as the 'Anua cooling sheet mask'? How cooling is it?
This page covers the Anua Daily Care Mask line, which many people call the 'cooling sheet mask.' Of the 430 reviews read, 20 (5%) mentioned a cool or cooling feel, mostly in reviews of the Catechin option and of fridge storage. Some say 'it gradually feels cooler once applied and lasts after removal' or 'it's cool even without the fridge,' but how it feels varies by person.
Q. How to use it — how many minutes, how often?
Many reviews say they unfold the sheet after cleansing, leave it on while drying their hair, then remove it and pat in the leftover essence. Some use it daily, others every 2–3 days. Follow the recommended time on the package; some reviews say skin didn't dry out even when left on longer, but if your skin is sensitive, we recommend starting with a shorter time.
Q. Is the hydration enough for dry or very dry skin?
Comments about moisture and less inner dryness are the most common (159 reviews), but because the essence is light, the recurring advice for very dry skin is to apply cream once more after the mask. Many with dry skin mention choosing PDRN. That said, how it feels depends on your skin's condition.
Q. I have sensitive skin — is it irritating?
Many say it's 'gentle and non-irritating,' and some reviews from combination-plus-sensitive skin say they had no breakouts. On the other hand, a few low-rated reviews say they broke out after using the TXA serum mask (a single product in the same line). We recommend applying it briefly at first to check how your skin reacts, and we make no safety or efficacy guarantees.
Q. What are the Sanrio hair clips like?
The PDRN set includes a Cinnamoroll hair clip and the Heartleaf set a Pochacco hair clip, and as many as 92 reviews mentioned the clip as the reason they bought it. Many say it's perfect for holding back bangs while wearing a mask, but others say it's about the size of a thumb — smaller than expected.
Q. Where does the data on this page come from?
The 4.9 rating and 13,058 total reviews are Olive Young's official figures. The 4.88 average, 98% positive share, star distribution, option counts, and keyword numbers are values we calculated by reading 430 reviews ourselves (out of 500 collected, excluding 10 for a different product and 60 identical-text duplicates). For keywords, we counted only reviews with clear wording, so if anything they're under the real figure, not inflated. We didn't use the Olive Young attribute graph because its meaning couldn't be confirmed. We don't reproduce the original review text — only the analysis — and we don't assign star ratings or make efficacy claims.
Starting from a viral Threads post with over 1.85M views, we collected real Korean users' recommendation comments on Olive Young posts, merged different spellings of the same product, and tallied mentions, likes, and staff endorsements. No ads or sponsorships — rankings come from real recommendation data only.
