Results that rival a Hydrafacial in a ~$5 PDRN collagen sheet mask

This is my first time using a sheet mask (which I impulse bought on sale for $5 figuring it would be perfect for self care…. and at that price there's nothing to lose!). But I was NOT expecting this level of results. Literally am shooketh!

I wore the mask for nearly 3 hours allowing it to turn fully transparent. I did find it a bit slippy upon initial application (although I was upright and I don't expect skincare to defy the laws of physics & gravity). After 10ish minutes lounging on the couch binging TV, the mask was well adhered.

When I removed the mask I was shocked to see the level of glow & radiance from my complexion considering my skin was not tacky or wet with serum or product. It was a total aha "this is what is meant by glass skin" moment. Dare I say my skin looked BETTER than when I get a Hydrafacial!!

The before is on clean dry skin. The after is clean dry skin without any products applied to my face (with the exception of applying Defenage's lip enhancing serum on my lips) and the same lighting as initial photo.

*would not let me type in brand, but I did not receive this as a promotion and simply did not want to gatekeep what I found to be incredible (and unexpected) results. I will 100% incorporate this into my future skincare & self-care routines.
