Additional research into modern lifestyles resulted in the upgraded ‘Water Sleeping Mask (2015),’ which added ‘Sleep Tox’ ingredient and applied moisture-wrapping technology to boost the hydration effect. In 2021, ‘Water Sleeping Mask EX,’ which combines the new Probiotics Complex^[3]and Sleeping Microbiome™ was released.
