What is PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask 28g X 8ea?

It is Medicube's Korean-market gel mask, sold here in the same formula the brand sells in Korea rather than in a version reformulated for the US shelf. It is meant to be used as an overnight or ten-minute care step.

How do I use the PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask 28g X 8ea?

Use this gel mask as an overnight or ten-minute care step. To apply, apply a generous layer over the face, leave on for the stated time, then rinse off or pat in what remains. Keep it to PM unless the packaging states otherwise, and give the rest of the routine a moment to settle before layering the next step. Give it a full bottle or box before judging the result, since most Korean routines are built for steady use rather than a single application.

Is the PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask 28g X 8ea the same formula sold in Korea, or a US version?

This PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask 28g X 8ea is the Korean-market formula, not a version reformulated for US shelves. It arrives with its original Korean-market barcode and batch code intact so the formula can be checked against the box on arrival.

Can I use the PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask 28g X 8ea with other actives in my routine?

Yes, as long as it is used in its own step, an overnight or ten-minute care step, and not layered on top of a product doing the same job. Introduce any new step gradually over the first week or two and keep an eye on how the skin responds before adding a second new active alongside it.

Who is the PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask 28g X 8ea suited for?

It suits most skin types looking for an overnight or ten-minute care step rather than a single acute problem. Check the listing for the exact size in stock. Anyone with a known sensitivity to a specific ingredient should check the full ingredient panel on this page before buying.

How it works

Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask 28g X 8ea is a gel mask built for an overnight or ten-minute care step. The brand builds this format the way most Korean gel mask lines are built, with a texture and finish tuned to how the product is actually used rather than to a single headline ingredient. The size and packaging are set up for PM use, so the format is meant to sit inside a routine rather than stand alone. Placed as an overnight or ten-minute care step, it is meant to be used PM rather than swapped freely between steps. Because this is the Korean-market version of the PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask 28g X 8ea line rather than a US-reformulated variant, the texture and finish match what Medicube sells through Korean retail.

Key benefits

Formulated as a gel mask for an overnight or ten-minute care step.
The Korean-market Medicube formula for PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask 28g X 8ea, matching what Medicube sells in Korea rather than a US-reformulated line.
Sized for regular use as an overnight or ten-minute care step.
Part of Medicube's own line rather than a third-party or private-label copy of it.

How to use

Use this gel mask as an overnight or ten-minute care step. To apply, apply a generous layer over the face, leave on for the stated time, then rinse off or pat in what remains. Keep it to PM unless the packaging states otherwise, and give the rest of the routine a moment to settle before layering the next step.

1 of 4

43 of 43 explained

Water solvent: Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
Glycerin humectant: Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
Methylpropanediol humectant: Methylpropanediol is a small glycol used to hydrate and to help water-soluble actives penetrate the outer layer of skin more evenly. It leaves almost no tack, which suits watery textures.
Acrylates/Ethylhexyl Acrylate Copolymer film former: An acrylic copolymer that dries to a flexible, water-resistant film. It helps a formula stay put and keeps pigments from moving.
Niacinamide active: Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
Chondrus Crispus Powder plant extract: Chondrus Crispus is Irish moss, a red seaweed. It is loaded with carrageenan, so it hydrates and thickens at once, and it leaves a cushioned, slippery film.
1,2-Hexanediol humectant: 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
Butylene Glycol humectant: Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
Betaine humectant: Betaine is a sugar-beet-derived humectant that cells use to hold water. In a formula it hydrates and takes the edge off cleansers and acids, which is why it often appears alongside them.
Ceratonia Siliqua (Carob) Gum thickener: Carob Gum is a seed polysaccharide from the carob tree. It thickens a formula and gives a soft, cushioned body.
Hydroxyacetophenone preservative booster: Hydroxyacetophenone is an antioxidant that also strengthens a preservative system, so a formula needs less traditional preservative. Korean formulas pair it with 1,2-hexanediol constantly.
Allantoin active: Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin.

31 more explained

Glucomannan thickener: Glucomannan is a konjac root polysaccharide. It thickens, holds a great deal of water and leaves a smooth, cushioned film.
Xanthan Gum thickener: Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide made by fermenting sugar. It thickens a watery formula into a gel and holds the whole thing in suspension so nothing separates. Too much of it and a serum turns stringy, which is why it appears in fractions of a percent.
Laureth-21 emulsifier: Laureth-21 is a solubiliser that keeps oils and fragrance dissolved in a water-based formula. The number records how much water-loving chain it carries.
Panthenol humectant: Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate emulsifier: Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is a sugar-derived emulsifier and solubiliser, mild enough to be a standard choice in Korean essences. It dissolves small amounts of oil into water without any tightening feel.
Propanediol humectant: Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
Cellulose Gum thickener: Cellulose Gum is plant cellulose modified to dissolve in water. It thickens, holds particles in suspension and gives a smooth, slippery body.
Cyamopsis Tetragonoloba (Guar) Gum thickener: Guar Gum is a seed polysaccharide that thickens and stabilises. It also leaves a conditioning film that makes skin feel smooth.
Fragrance(Parfum) fragrance: Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.
Potassium Chloride mineral: Potassium Chloride is a mineral salt used to bring a formula closer to the salt balance of skin, most often as part of a sea-water or mineral-water blend.
Dextrin thickener: Dextrin is a starch fragment used to thicken and to give a formula a light, powdery finish. It is also a common carrier for powdered extracts.
Adenosine active: Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated.
Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster: Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
Hydrolyzed Collagen protein: Hydrolyzed Collagen is collagen broken into fragments small enough to dissolve in water. It cannot become collagen in skin; what it does is hold water at the surface and leave a smooth, conditioned film.
Cyanocobalamin vitamin: Cyanocobalamin is vitamin B12, and it is a deep pink-red, which is why a formula carrying it often has a colour nobody added on purpose. It is used as a conditioning vitamin.
Ascorbic Acid antioxidant: Ascorbic Acid is pure vitamin C, the most researched form and also the least stable: it needs a low pH and airtight packaging to stay active. It is an antioxidant used for the look of dullness and uneven tone.
Sodium Dna active: Sodium DNA is the salt of DNA, in Korean skincare almost always salmon derived, and it is the ingredient behind the PDRN category. It is used as a humectant and for the look of tired skin; the fragments themselves are what the name PDRN refers to.
Tocopherol antioxidant: Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer.
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 peptide: Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines, particularly around the eyes. It is the peptide sold under the name Argireline and is water soluble and stable.
Ascorbic Acid Polypeptide antioxidant: Ascorbic Acid Polypeptide is vitamin C attached to a short protein chain to keep it stable in water. It is an antioxidant used for the look of dullness.
Acetyl Octapeptide-3 peptide: Acetyl Octapeptide-3 is an eight-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines. It is usually paired with acetyl hexapeptide-8 rather than used alone.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 peptide: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 is a four-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness, particularly in eye and neck formulas.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 peptide: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3 is a four-amino-acid peptide used for the look of density and firmness. It appears in scalp formulas as often as in facial ones.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 peptide: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 is a four-amino-acid peptide used in eye products for the look of puffiness and crepiness.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 peptide: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 is a four-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness and density. It is most often supplied alongside acetyl tetrapeptide-11.
Carnosine antioxidant: Carnosine is a small peptide of two amino acids that acts as an antioxidant, particularly against the sugar-driven damage formulators call glycation. It is used for the look of dull, sallow skin.
Copper Tripeptide-1 peptide: Copper Tripeptide-1 is three amino acids bound to a copper ion, and the classic firming peptide in cosmetic chemistry. It is blue in solution, which is often why a serum carrying it is tinted, and it is used for the look of firmness and fine lines.
Nonapeptide-1 peptide: Nonapeptide-1 is a nine-amino-acid peptide used for the look of uneven tone rather than for firmness, which makes it unusual among cosmetic peptides.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 peptide: Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is the five-amino-acid peptide originally sold as Matrixyl. It is used for the look of fine lines and is one of the longest-standing cosmetic peptides.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 peptide: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is a short peptide with a fatty tail added so it can travel through the oily outer layer of skin. It is used for the look of firmness and is almost always paired with palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 peptide: Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a fatted three-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness and fine lines. The palmitoyl tail is what lets it cross an oily surface.
