Medicube Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask Review: Photos

The idea of ​​using salmon sperm in your skin care routine is not impossible. The trend has been around for a few years now, with stars like Jennifer Aniston and Kim Kardashian giving it their stamp of approval. Naturally, this prompted me to start Googling “salmon sperm face mask” – after which I took a moment to wonder, Has my love of beauty gone too far? I wasn’t always like that. In fact, a few years ago, I had a little skin care routine that consisted of tap water and the moisturizer my mom gave me when I was 13. Back then, I didn’t know how to do winged eyeliner (to be honest, I’m still learning), and if you had mentioned five out of five famous names, I probably would have had a very famous beauty.

Me, how things have changed. These days, I’ll do almost anything in the name of beautiful skin, whether it’s taking an oral medication, getting a beauty treatment like microneedling, or trying a face mask made from — yes, you guessed it — salmon sperm. Have I had it on my face a time or two in the past? Of course. But this was a completely different (and much better, IMO) experience. I’m talking about a virus Medicube Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask ($15, originally $21).

Keep scrolling to read my full review of the Medicube Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask and find out how it worked for me.

About Medicube Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask

What I love about Medicube Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask

First, you’re probably wondering what salmon PDRN actually is. Let me explain. Salmon PDRN, or polydeoxyribonucleotides, is DNA extracted from salmon sperm that is sometimes used in skin treatments. You can put it on your face in the form of a salmon sperm facial — a treatment Jennifer Aniston road-tested — but I haven’t gone that far. . . at the moment.

This mask, in particular, is great because it’s light and hydrating. I noticed immediately after my first use that my skin looked so much brighter and felt so moisturized, which is something I really need 24/7 because I’m always fighting dry flakes on my nose.

How to use Medicube Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask

The product says the mask can be used overnight or during the day. If you want to use it during the day, apply it after using a toner or serum, and leave it on for three to four hours or until the mask is transparent.

If you choose to use it overnight, the brand recommends applying the mask at the end of your nightly skincare routine and then going to bed with it on. In the morning, take it off and complete your normal steps. I’m a late sleeper, so using it at night isn’t a big deal for me; However, if you toss and turn in your sleep, you may have trouble falling. I used the mask both ways and saw the same great results.

Things to Consider Before Trying Medicube Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask

One thing to note is that this is not the kind of mask you throw on 15 minutes before jumping in the shower or going to bed at night. To get the full benefits, you need to wait until it becomes clear, which takes at least two hours from my experience. If you don’t want to sleep in it, be prepared to wear it for three to four hours during the day.

It’s also important to note that while I’m totally obsessed with this mask, it won’t actually stimulate collagen production (and neither will other skin care products, for that matter). This is because the molecular weight of collagen is too high to be absorbed by the skin. Hydration, on the other hand? That really helps.
