Out of the packet, the Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask looks like a sheet of fresh jelly, thick and supple. Placed on the face, it clings without slipping and you soon forget it is there. Over the hours, it clears until it becomes transparent: the sign that it has given up its essence. It is the mask for the night before an important appointment.
A collagen mask in hydrogel, not in fabric
A sheet mask dries out in twenty minutes. This one holds on thanks to a network of plant-based gelling agents, carob gum, red seaweed extract, alginate and agar, which retains water and releases it slowly. The long wear gives glycerin and hyaluronic acid time to hydrate the surface.
And the collagen? Applied to the skin, this molecule is too large to reach the dermis. It does not restart the production of your own collagen. It does, however, form a film that holds in hydration, smooths dryness lines and gives a plumped look that is visible when the mask comes off. The formula also contains niacinamide, adenosine and several ferments (galactomyces, lactobacillus, bifida) that contribute to comfort. The range's other masks are gathered in the Biodance collection.
How to use
- Overnight: after your evening routine, take out the mask, remove the protective films in the order shown on the sachet, place the gel side on the skin and smooth it down. Remove it the next morning.
- During the day: on skin prepared with a toner or serum, keep it on for 3 to 4 hours, until it becomes transparent.
- After removal: do not rinse; work in the remaining essence with light pats.
Each mask is single-use. Do not apply it straight after an exfoliant or a retinol.
Which skin is it for?
It suits dehydrated, dull skin that feels tight, and anyone who wants a rested complexion before an occasion. Its formula lists no fragrance, which reassures sensitive skin; do a test on a small area all the same. Avoid on broken, irritated or freshly exfoliated skin. To complete the routine, the intense hydration selection brings together other plumping skincare.

Frequently asked questions
How long should I leave it on?
All night, or 3 to 4 hours during the day. The best guide is visual: once the gel has turned transparent, it has released most of its essence.
Does the collagen in the mask penetrate deeply?
No. It stays on the surface, where it forms a hydrating film. The plumping effect is real but temporary, to be maintained with regular use.
How does it differ from the Radiant Vita Niacinamide mask?
Same hydrogel format, different aim. The Bio-Collagen is about comfort and a plumped look; the Radiant Vita, with pineapple water and niacinamide, focuses on radiance. Those mainly after a suppler-looking complexion should take a look at the anti-ageing and firmness selection.
What should I do with the gel left on my skin on waking?
Massage it in until absorbed, then apply your sunscreen.
Four nights of water-rich skin, stored in one box: keep one to hand for the eve of an event or the morning after a tiring day.
