On June 8, 2026, K-beauty–inspired wellness and skincare brand, Rael, announced launch of two science-backed hydrogel masks now available at Ulta Beauty and on getrael.com: the Cryo Soothing Hydrogel Mask and the Glutathione + Vitamin C Brightening Hydrogel Mask.
According to the press release, both products bring cutting-edge Korean skincare technology to U.S. consumers, at a time where popular terms in Korean beauty like glass skin and dewy glows are experiencing a significant increase in online searches and social media presence.

"Rael was built on the belief that K-beauty's most powerful innovations should be accessible to everyone. These two new hydrogel masks are a perfect example of that," said Yanghee Paik, CEO and Co-founder of Rael. "We're bringing Korea's most advanced skincare ingredients—cryo-inspired cooling and clinical brightening technology—and translating them into a hydrogel mask format that's instantly intuitive for U.S. consumers. No new routine, no guesswork, just next-level results in a format they already trust, at a price that removes any barrier to trying them."
While cryo cooling masks in the U.S. typically require a 2-step rubber mask process, Rael's Cryo Soothing Hydrogel Mask delivers the same cooling and de-puffing benefits in a single, familiar step.
Cross-linked hyaluronic acid, peptides, and mushroom extract calm, de-puff, and deeply hydrate, while a color-changing sheet transitions from white to transparent as all 37 grams of serum fully absorbs.

Similarly, where brightening treatments have traditionally come as serums or standard sheet masks, the Glutathione Brightening Hydrogel Mask delivers glutathione (a hero ingredient in Korean skincare) alongside vitamin C and tranexamic acid in one effortless hydrogel step, on the same anti-slip grip material. The sheet shifts from light yellow to transparent as its 34 grams of brightening essence absorbs.
Single masks are available on Ulta.com ($4.99 SRP), while 4-packs can be found on both Ulta.com and getrael.com ($18.99 SRP)
