Laneige is no stranger to skincare stardom, particularly with its cult-favorite Water Sleeping Mask. But the Cica Sleeping Pack caught my attention for a different reason, its infusion of soothing ingredients designed to support compromised skin. As someone who recently dove into the world of cica (a.k.a. Centella Asiatica), this sleeping pack was a natural next step in my nighttime routine and I’m happy to report, it lives up to the hype.

A Recovery Cream in Disguise

Unlike the gel-like texture of the original Water Sleeping Mask, this product leans heavily into the treatment-meets-moisturizer category. It comes in an opaque white cream form, and truthfully, I did a double take the first time I opened the jar as I was expecting something translucent, but what I got felt more like a rich, reparative cream. No complaints, though. Once applied, it blankets the skin with a cushiony layer of hydration that feels like a restorative wrap for your face.

The texture is slightly heavy something to note for oily skin types but in the context of an overnight mask, the richness feels intentional. It doesn’t suffocate the skin but instead locks in moisture and calms inflammation. I skip my usual moisturizer when I use this because the formula is more than enough on its own.

By morning, my skin feels exceptionally soft, smooth, and noticeably more balanced. I especially appreciate how it calms the redness and irritation I often get from breakouts or cold, dry weather. Living in Michigan, where skin dehydration is practically seasonal, this has become my go-to once-a-week reset.

Key Ingredients That Deliver

The ingredient list reads like a dream for anyone seeking barrier repair and soothing care :

- Glycerin, Squalane, and Shea Butter : These heavy-hitters work synergistically to hydrate, soften, and lock in moisture.

- Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, and Asiatic Acid : These cica-derived compounds are known for their calming, anti-inflammatory benefits, ideal for stressed or acne-prone skin.

- Tea Tree Leaf Oil : Adds a gentle antibacterial touch, helping keep blemishes at bay without the sting of harsher actives.

- Tocopherol (Vitamin E) : An antioxidant that not only protects the skin from environmental stressors but also helps support healing.

It’s a thoughtful blend that caters to both hydration and inflammation, two issues that often go hand-in-hand.

How to Use It

Think of the Cica Sleeping Pack as your skin’s weekly therapy session. On nights when your face needs extra love, simply swap your usual moisturizer for this. Using the included mini spatula (a detail I appreciate for hygiene), scoop out a dime-sized amount and apply evenly to cleansed skin. Let it work overnight, and rinse it off with your morning cleanser.

It’s suitable for all skin types, though drier or sensitive skin will particularly benefit from its deeply moisturizing and reparative properties.

Final Thoughts

The Laneige Cica Sleeping Pack is more than just a night cream as it’s a skin-soothing salve that delivers visible results. Whether you’re battling winter dryness, reactive skin, or the aftermath of too many actives, this mask is a reliable ally. It hydrates, calms, and helps your skin bounce back by morning with a fresh, healthy glow.

With its lush texture, powerhouse ingredients, and gentle performance, this product has quickly become my new favorite overnight treatment. If you’re on the hunt for a sleeping mask that does more than hydrate, this might be your new weekly ritual.
