How we choose anti-ageing masks
The ingredient name on the packet only tells you so much. We look at the formulation, the concentration, what else is in there and the brand behind it, then at how the mask performs on real skin.
Collagen hydrogels such as the Biodance Pink Overnight Real-Deep Collagen Mask stay on for hours, for a plumper, bouncier look by morning.
PDRN (Della Born PDRN Collagen Hydrogel, Biodance Purple Caviar PDRN) has decades of research behind it in tissue repair. Michelle has had it injected, twice. Topical PDRN isn't the same as an injection, and we won't pretend it is, but in a well-made mask it's one of the most interesting ingredients around.
Retinol, in the CKD Retino Collagen Hydrogel, brings a gentler retinol step into a weekly routine.
Microneedle and wrinkle patches from the Sonagi Collection target fine lines around the eyes, mouth and forehead.
