If you’ve ever stood in front of a rack of Mediheal masks wondering, “Tea Tree or Vitamin C today?”—welcome to the club. 

As someone who has used both for years (and has them on constant restock), here’s my honest, skin-tested breakdown of these two bestsellers.

Let’s start with Tea Tree. 

This one is my go-to when my skin is throwing a full-blown tantrum. We’re talking redness, heat, irritation, even those deep, painful hormonal zits. 

The moment I lay this mask on, it’s like sending in a skincare paramedic. It cools everything down, reduces inflammation, and leaves my skin noticeably calmer by the time I peel it off. 

The formula’s hero ingredients—tea tree oil, centella, and willow bark extract—are a dream team for angry, reactive skin. And somehow, it manages to hydrate without clogging. 

Bonus: the essence absorbs well without any stickiness. Love that.

Now onto the Vitamin C version. 

Totally different vibe. 

This is my “glow-up before a date/job interview/photo shoot” kind of mask. It doesn’t just brighten—it actually revives dull skin. Think lit-from-within radiance. 

I usually pop this on the night before a big day, and the next morning, I’m always stunned at how even-toned and awake my face looks. It has ascorbyl glucoside (a stabilized form of vitamin C), plus glutathione and niacinamide. Together, they fade leftover pigmentation and give you that subtle, “I drink 2L of water and mind my business” glow.

So, which one do you need?

👉 Tea Tree if your skin is moody, inflamed, or stressed.

👉 Vitamin C if your skin is tired, dull, or prepping for something big.

TL;DR: One is your emergency room, the other is your red carpet prep. I always keep both on hand. Because life is both acne and glam, you know?
