Dermal seaweed collagen essence mask review năm 2024

These Korean face masks make for a lovely ritual. But do they actually work? We reviewed them for the latest installment of “Wellness Workbook.”

As both an incessant skeptic of all things, all the time, and a Korean American, my relationship with the Korean beauty product craze has been complicated.

My logical brain realizes that the purported miracle products coming out of Korea aren’t necessarily game-changers. Well, no more than any more than products coming out of any other country with a developed beauty product culture. The less-logical part of my brain, however, is ALL ABOUT IT, and the more strange-seeming, the better.

Give me all the snail mucus and snake venom, because this is what my people do.

In an effort to gain more clarity on the subject of sheet masks (and to obtain a complexion as glow-y and supple as a K pop star,) I set out to try as many different varieties of Korean sheet masks as I could. Thus, figuring out which ones put in the most work.

For the sake of variety, I ordered the 16 combo-pack of the Dermal Korea Collagen Essence Full Face Facial Mask Sheet. You can snag it for less than 10 bucks.

Contained therein are masks created around somewhat dubious themes such as “pearl” and “white,” but also key ingredients. Aloe, herb, “syn-ake,” green tea, gold, vitamin, royal jelly, hyaluronate, cucumber, Q10, aqua, charcoal, platinum, and snail.

Sixteen days after kicking things off with some snail mucus all up on my pores, I am happy to report that my skin feels super duper supple. And beyond that, the ritual of applying the mask every night was a wholly pleasant experience. Aside from looking like Jason Voorhees if he never made it out of seventh-grade art class.

“Plus, it’s fun to know you’re slathering your skin with pearl dust and snake venom—Charmed vibes.”

The masks cool and refresh your skin, and their floral scents, which differ only mildly, are likewise soothing. But here’s the thing: They all seemed to yield pretty much the same results, which is understandable, considering they all utilize hydrolyzed collagen as a main ingredient.

It is, of course, unfair to expect dramatic differences in your skin after a single use of pretty much any product, so the fact that these masks hydrate your skin as well as they do is worth it.

Plus, it’s fun to know you’re slathering your skin with pearl dust and snake venom—Charmed vibes.

But perhaps most of all, my favorite part of the whole experience was repeating the ritual. You know, taking 20 minutes every evening for 16 consecutive days to do something for myself that is totally simple, yet wholly pleasant.

For that mental benefit alone, this $10 mask-spree is worth it; the hydrated skin is just an extra bonus.

Do collagen essence masks work?

Ultimately, the effectiveness of collagen masks can vary from person to person. Some individuals may notice positive results in terms of skin hydration and temporary plumping, while others may not see significant changes.

Are collagen face masks good for your face?

Yes, collagen face masks really work. When it comes to boosting collagen levels in your skin (the protein responsible for skin elasticity), incorporating collagen face masks into your regular skin care routine can help your skin to appear more youthful and healthier looking.

How often should I use collagen mask?

Using a collagen mask at least twice a week can help protect your skin from free radical damage, which keeps your skin looking younger longer. Using a collagen hydrating mask regularly also minimizes the look of pores, creating a smoother-looking complexion.

Do you wash off collagen mask?

It is simply not necessary to wash your face after you've removed a collagen face mask. Cleansing or wiping your face after your masking session could be scrubbing away some of its benefits.
