The instructions say to apply them after using a toner, but I recently saw on YouTube that it's better to do your full skincare routine, including applying a cream, and then put on the mask as the final step. So I bought a few to try that method. The material seemed a bit thicker than the Derma Fix products. You're supposed to attach the bumpy side to your skin and wait until it becomes transparent. The gel-like texture was a bit slippery, and the lower part would sometimes slide down, so I had to pull it up a few times. But as the gel sheet dried, it adhered better to my face and didn't slide anymore. The mask has openings for the eyes and mouth, which is nice because you can cover the bare skin around your cheeks and jawline. Some masks just have open holes, which I find a bit lacking. It felt more cooling than regular sheet masks, and after about 20 minutes, the area around my chin and mouth started to look more transparent. 30 minutes seems to be the sweet spot, but I've gone up to an hour before the white parts started to disappear. One time I fell asleep with it on, and the tight adherence pulled on my skin a bit uncomfortably. So wearing it for more than 1-2 hours doesn't seem advisable. Applying a generous layer of cream before putting on the gel mask seemed to create an occlusive effect, and my skin felt plumper after using it.
ConsWhen I searched for collagen masks on YouTube, I saw a lot of videos, but many dermatologists were saying that using collagen masks doesn't actually benefit the skin. I had used the Derma Fix collagen mask for a few months before, and I didn't really notice any improvements in firmness or complexion, despite the claims. The lack of runny essence is nice, but after using it, I just felt like there was no real effect.🥲 This time, though, I did my full skincare routine first and then put on the mask, and the occlusive effect did seem to make a difference. But I don't think it was specifically because of the collagen. Some people say you can get good results just by applying the mask right after toner, but I didn't experience that, which was a bit disappointing. The original price is 5,000 won, which is a bit high, but you can often find it discounted to around 2,000 won, which is more reasonable compared to other collagen masks. And since they seem to go on sale frequently, it might be worth trying out if you're curious, even just as an experiment.
