A pink gel with pearly highlights, which sparkles in the light and then dries on the face into a thin, glossy film. You put it on last thing in the evening, sleep with it on, and peel it off on waking. In the morning, features look less crumpled and the complexion more radiant.
A PDRN and caffeine night mask for brighter wake-ups
Two ingredients give the mask its name. Caffeine provides a feeling of freshness and helps smooth the look of features that are puffy on waking. PDRN, here salmon DNA listed as Sodium DNA, deserves an honest introduction: its best-studied effects concern injections carried out at a clinic. In a mask, it acts as a hydrating and comfort ingredient, very popular in Korea, with no promise of regeneration.
The rest of the formula is generous. Niacinamide, the fifth ingredient, helps even out the look of the complexion. About ten forms of hyaluronic acid, amino acids and a little collagen support the plumping effect of the film. Peptides close the list, at a low dose. The pink highlights come from pearlescent minerals, and a Damask rose oil lightly scents the gel.
How to use it
First finish your evening routine, from toner to cream. Then spread a thin, even layer, with a brush or a spatula, avoiding the eyebrows, the hairline, the eyes and the lips. Leave to dry for about fifteen minutes before laying your head on the pillow. On waking, peel the film off from the edges or rinse it off with lukewarm water. Two to three nights a week is enough. On retinol or peeling evenings, save it for another night.
Which skin it suits
Dull, tired or dehydrated skin, and mature skin looking for a morning glow. It is not suitable for anyone who avoids ingredients of animal origin: the salmon DNA makes it non-vegan. Skin that reacts to scented oils, such as rose oil, should test it on a small area first.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference from the Collagen Night Wrapping Mask?
Both dry to a film for the night. This one adds caffeine and PDRN, with a pearly finish geared towards radiance.
Does the PDRN in a mask work like an injection?
No. On the skin, it mainly provides hydration and comfort. The results described for injections do not carry over to a leave-on product.
Does the glitter stay on the skin?
It comes off with the film in the morning. A gentle cleanser removes the last traces.
Is it vegan?
No, the PDRN used comes from salmon.
Can it be used with a retinol?
Not on the same evening. Alternate nights to avoid a strong active heating up under the film.
