ABIB Collagen Gel Mask Jericho Rose Jelly (4)

Collagen masks almost always mean animal-derived collagen, which puts them out of reach for a lot of people. This one does not. The Abib Collagen Gel Mask in Jericho Rose Jelly uses a bio-engineered collagen produced by fermenting yeast, and the brand is V-Label certified in Italy.

The two headline ingredients are published with their concentrations. Jericho Rose extract comes in at 10,008ppm and the vegan collagen extract at 10,005ppm. Around them sit niacinamide seventh on the list, Ceramide NP, palmitoyl tripeptide-5, macadamia integrifolia seed oil and sodium hyaluronate. The hydrogel sheet is made by solidifying the essence itself into a thin, soft sheet, which is why it feels cooling on application and grips closely to the face. Each mask is worn for 20 to 30 minutes.

It suits dry, dehydrated and mature-looking skin. If you want a lightweight everyday mask, a cotton sheet would be quicker and cheaper per use.
