Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask

The night-in mask that turns from pink to clear. Some evenings your skin looks tired and you want something that feels like a treat. This bouncy pink gel mask clings to your face and turns clear as you wear it. Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask is a hydrogel face mask with sodium DNA (salmon PDRN), hydrolysed collagen, niacinamide and a peptide blend. It turns from pink to transparent as you wear it and leaves skin looking plumper, bouncier and glowy. Choose a single mask or a pack of four. Perfect for: dry or dehydrated skin, dull, tired-looking skin before an event, skin that looks less bouncyFeels like: a cool, bouncy pink hydrogel that clings and gradually turns clearKey ingredients: salmon PDRN (sodium DNA), hydrolysed collagen, niacinamide, peptidesWhy we chose itWe chose it as a long-wear hydration mask for an evening at home or overnight, not a PDRN or collagen treatment: Medicube do not state how much of either it contains. It sits naturally alongside Medicube PDRN Pink Peptide Serum from the same range. What it doesThe jelly holds a glycerin-rich essence against the skin for hours. Niacinamide supports the barrier and a more even-looking tone, hydrolysed collagen and panthenol soften and condition, and peptides with adenosine are there for the look of fine lines.
