If You Want Glass Skin Overnight, Korean Collagen Masks Are the Way to Go

“The Medicube Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Mask features PDRN from salmon DNA that helps to restore the skin’s natural barrier function and hydrolyzed collagen to firm the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines,” explains Dr. Engelman. That’s right—salmon DNA, kind of like the collagen-stimulating salmon DNA being injected into celebrities and in-the-know skin care enthusiasts these days. You can wear this mask for just a few minutes, but to get the full glow-giving effect, try leaving it on for a couple of hours or even overnight.

Key ingredients: Hydrolyzed collagen, niacinamide, salmon DNA (PDRN)

An ELLE editor says: “While I haven’t gotten the chance to inject salmon sperm DNA into my skin yet, I’m using these sheet masks to tide me over until that day comes. After using one of them, my skin clearly feels plumper, like every single layer of my skin is packed to the brim with moisture. I’ve also noticed that my pores look smaller, and my face is nice and shiny—kind of like dolphin skin.”—Carol Lee, ELLE.com associate beauty e-commerce writer
