ACCOJE might not dominate every beauty shelf yet but those familiar with Korean skincare speak of its Jeju sourced formulas with a certain respect. The brand has built a reputation for combining volcanic island botanicals with clean formulation principles, something I have always found quietly impressive.
Enter the Reviving Sleeping Pack, a name that practically tucks you in and promises to clock in overtime while you doze. ACCOJE says the honey and propolis infused gel will brighten firm and drench the skin with moisture in just fourteen nights thanks to micro encapsulated goodies like aloe cocoa and antioxidant rich Portulaca. All of it is suspended in mineral packed Jeju water and omits the usual list of cosmetic villains.
I committed to a solid two week trial to see whether this overnight mask could live up to that sweet talk or if it should stay in dreamland. Below you will find my unfiltered experience and observations.

What Is Reviving Sleeping Pack?
Reviving Sleeping Pack is an overnight treatment, sometimes called a sleeping mask, designed to sit on the skin as the last step of your evening routine. Unlike a typical night cream that soaks in fully, an overnight treatment forms a light film so its ingredients can keep working until morning. The goal is to wake up with skin that feels more hydrated, looks fresher and shows less overnight moisture loss.
Accoje positions this formula as a 14-night reset. It combines Jeju water, honey, propolis and micro-capsules filled with aloe, cocoa and the antioxidant Portulaca Oleracea. Together they aim to tackle dullness, early loss of firmness and dryness while you sleep. The brand also follows its 7-Free System which leaves out parabens, benzophenone, synthetic fragrance, imidazolidinyl urea, tar pigment, mineral or animal oils for those who prefer streamlined ingredient lists.
Application is straightforward: massage a thin layer onto clean skin for about five minutes, let it stay on overnight then rinse with water the next morning. The promise is minimal effort for visible radiance, firmness and hydration by the time your alarm goes off.
Did It Work?
In the name of science I benched my trusty overnight cream for three full days before starting the trial, a move that felt both daring and wildly professional. Fourteen consecutive nights with the Reviving Sleeping Pack felt like a fair amount of time to let the formula strut its stuff.
Night one impression: pleasantly cool gel texture that melted under a quick five minute massage. It left a glossy film that never quite set but it also never migrated onto the pillowcase. I woke up to skin that felt cushioned and looked a touch dewier than usual, a solid if unspectacular start.
Nights two through five followed the same pattern. Immediate hydration, a bit of healthy bounce, slight tackiness that rinsed off easily in the morning. What surprised me was the way the mask seemed to seal in any serum I used underneath, especially my vitamin C. Makeup glided on more smoothly, a small win for daytime.
By the one week mark I began looking for the headline claims: radiance and firmness. Glow was there but subtle, like someone had quietly upgraded my bathroom lighting rather than swapped my face. Firmness proved harder to pin down. My skin felt supple yet tapping along the jawline did not reveal any extra resilience.
The second week delivered incremental gains. Dull patches around the nose looked calmer and my forehead stayed hydrated even after a late night, something that usually triggers fine dehydration lines for me. Still, the promised transformation never quite materialised. Friends commented that I looked rested which I attribute as much to earlier bedtimes as to the mask.
So did it work? Yes in the sense that it delivered reliable overnight moisture and a gentle boost in morning luminosity with zero irritation. No in the sense that it did not rise to the level of a permanent shelf fixture or replace targeted actives that tackle firmness. I will happily finish the jar on travel nights when convenience trumps performance but once it is empty I am unlikely to repurchase.
Main Ingredients Explained
At first glance the INCI list looks impressively balanced between humectants, antioxidants and skin softeners. Jeju water sits at the top providing mineral rich hydration while diglycerin, sorbitol and trehalose act like microscopic sponges that draw moisture into the epidermis. Honey and propolis join the party next, both celebrated in Korean skincare for their mix of amino acids, natural sugars and mild antibacterial benefits. They lend the mask its cushiony feel and subtle stickiness but also mean the formula is not suitable for strict vegans. Vegetarians who are comfortable using bee products should be fine.
The much advertised micro-capsules house aloe vera, cocoa and Portulaca oleracea extract. Aloe delivers soothing polysaccharides that temper any redness the essential oils might stir up. Cocoa brings a hit of polyphenols though only trace levels of cocoa butter, so the worry about pore clogging is minimal. Portulaca is rich in vitamins A and C which help offset free radicals generated by daily pollution and blue light.
A quick look at potential break-out triggers shows glycine soja (soybean) oil and C13-16 isoparaffin scoring moderately on the comedogenic scale. In plain English that means they can sometimes sit in the pore rather than glide off, potentially leading to bumps for those already prone to congestion. My combination skin stayed calm through the trial but anyone battling recurring clogged pores might want to patch test first.
The supporting cast includes adenosine for a gentle smoothing effect and beta-glucan plus soluble collagen for extra moisture binding. Natural essential oils of lavender, rosemary, bergamot and orange deliver a spa-like scent though their volatility can irritate ultra sensitive complexions. On the upside the 7-Free System keeps out parabens, mineral oil and synthetic fragrance which often top irritation charts.
Pregnancy raises its own set of ingredient flags. While none of the components are on the formal do-not-touch list, essential oils and propolis can occasionally provoke sensitivities when hormones are shifting. Best practice is to show the label to a healthcare provider before incorporating this mask into a prenatal routine.
Last footnote for the eco conscious reader: the absence of animal oils and tar pigments is commendable, packaging is fully recyclable and the brand sources its botanicals from sustainable Jeju farms. If you are comfortable with responsibly harvested honey this formula checks most ethical boxes without sacrificing the silky texture that makes overnight masking feel indulgent.
What I Liked/Didn’t Like
Here is the quick rundown after two weeks of nightly use
What Works Well:
- Cushiony gel texture feels instantly cooling and locks in any serum layered underneath
- Delivers consistent overnight hydration so skin looks smoother and makeup sits better the next morning
- Clean 7-Free formula with Jeju sourced ingredients and recyclable packaging appeals to anyone watching their eco footprint
- No irritation or redness on combination skin despite the inclusion of essential oils
What to Consider:
- Tacky film remains noticeable until rinsed off which may not suit those who prefer a dry down
- Firmness and radiance gains are subtle rather than transformative so results could disappoint if expectations are high
- C13-16 isoparaffin and soybean oil may encourage congestion on very oil prone or acne sensitive skin
My Final Thoughts
Fourteen nights with Reviving Sleeping Pack left me looking like the person who actually remembered to drink water after a late dinner, not the person who secretly discovered time travel. It is a dependable hydrator that turns dry-prone cheeks plush and keeps serums locked in. If your skin goal is mainly to wake up feeling moisturised and marginally glowier without courting irritation this jar earns its keep. Those chasing dramatic lifting or selfie-filter brightness might find the effects too polite.
I have rotated more overnight masks than alarm clocks so I feel qualified in pronouncing a solid but not breath-stealing verdict: 7/10 stars. I would recommend it to friends with normal, combination or mildly dehydrated skin who appreciate a clean-leaning formula and do not mind a little pre-sleep stickiness. I would steer my oil-slick, congestion-prone pals toward lighter textures and suggest that firming aficionados keep their retinol in play.
Hunting for a night companion can be as personal as choosing a pillow so let me point you to a few alternatives I have also slept in happily. Nocturnal Revive Cream by Deascal is the crowd-pleaser: creamy yet breathable, loaded with ceramides and nicely priced for the mileage it gives. If you prefer a richer antioxidant punch Advanced Night Restore by Medik8 settles in like satin and pairs beautifully with actives. For sleepers who want bouncy hydration without any greasy hint the classic Water Sleeping Mask from LANEIGE is still tough to beat. Finally the Watermelon Glow AHA Night Treatment by Glow Recipe marries gentle exfoliation with a sorbet texture that leaves skin bright without sulking the next morning.
