Wake up to smoother, glowier, and more refreshed-looking skin with the MEDICUBE Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask. This intensive color-changing gel mask is designed to help improve the look of dullness, pores, uneven skin tone, dryness, and loss of firmness — delivering deep hydration, visible pore refinement, and a radiant glass-skin finish that lasts 48 hours from a single treatment. As the mask absorbs, it gradually changes from pink to transparent, signaling optimal absorption of its active ingredients.

Formulated with Sodium DNA (Salmon PDRN), low-molecular Hydrolyzed Collagen, Niacinamide, 13 types of peptides including Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline), Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl), Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12), Ascorbic Acid, Ascorbic Acid Polypeptide, Adenosine, Carnosine, Allantoin, and Panthenol, this jelly mask delivers a comprehensive treatment across multiple visible skin concerns simultaneously. Salmon PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) — DNA fragments from salmon highly compatible with human skin cells — supports skin vitality, barrier strength, and elasticity. Low-molecular hydrolyzed collagen penetrates the skin surface for firmness and hydration. 13 peptides work across relaxing, signaling, and carrier peptide categories. Niacinamide brightens and refines tone.

The MEDICUBE Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask is a great option for anyone looking for a Korean overnight gel mask, collagen jelly mask, or brightening firming face mask. 2025 Byrdie Beauty Award Winner.

How to use

After cleansing and toner/serum steps, apply the mask over the face, avoiding the lip and eye area. Leave on overnight and remove in the morning, or apply during the day and leave on for 3 to 4 hours — or until the mask becomes more transparent. Gently pat any remaining essence into the skin after removing. The mask weighs approximately 15g less after use, reflecting the active absorption into the skin.

Why we love it

The MEDICUBE Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask won the 2025 Byrdie Beauty Award for one simple reason: it works in ways that most gel masks don't. The color-change mechanic isn't a gimmick — the mask transitions from pink to transparent as the gel structure loses weight (approximately 15g absorbed into the skin over the treatment period), giving you a real-time visual indicator of how much active ingredient has actually entered the skin. That's 15g of active solution — Salmon PDRN, hydrolyzed collagen, 13 peptides, niacinamide, and antioxidants — absorbed into the skin in a single treatment. Salmon PDRN is derived from DNA fragments extracted from salmon that are highly compatible with human skin cells due to their structural similarity to human DNA — which is what allows them to genuinely penetrate and support the skin barrier rather than sitting at the surface. The 13-peptide stack covers every major functional peptide category: Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 (Argireline-class relaxing), Acetyl Octapeptide-3 (expression line smoothing), Copper Tripeptide-1 (carrier peptide for barrier repair), Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl for collagen stimulation), and nine more. The 48-hour elasticity maintenance result from a single mask — confirmed in clinical testing — is what makes this a treatment mask rather than a hydration top-up. At BestSkincareUSA.com, it's the gel mask we recommend most from MEDICUBE for anyone who wants measurable results from their Korean skincare masking step.

Key ingredients deeper dive

• Sodium DNA (Salmon PDRN — Polydeoxyribonucleotide) — barrier support and skin vitality from salmon-derived DNA fragments — PDRN consists of small DNA fragments extracted from salmon sperm, selected for their high structural compatibility with human skin cell DNA. This compatibility allows the fragments to penetrate the skin's surface and support its natural barrier function and vitality — making salmon PDRN one of the most compelling ingredients in the Korean skincare genre and the defining active in the MEDICUBE Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask. Typically used as an injected ingredient in clinical settings, MEDICUBE's topical PDRN is formulated in the jelly base at concentrations designed to support skin renewal and barrier resilience through extended wear.
• Low-molecular Hydrolyzed Collagen — elasticity and firmness at the skin surface and below — Low-molecular weight hydrolyzed collagen consists of collagen broken down into small enough fragments to penetrate the skin's upper layers — where they help support the appearance of plumpness, firmness, and fine line reduction. Combined with Salmon PDRN and the 13-peptide complex, it provides a multi-pathway approach to elasticity and firmness improvement in the MEDICUBE Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask.
• 13 types of peptides — the most comprehensive peptide complex in a gel mask format — The 13 peptides in this mask span all major functional categories: Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Acetyl Octapeptide-3 are relaxing peptides that smooth the appearance of expression lines; Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 (Matrixyl), Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5, and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9 are signaling peptides that support collagen, elastin, and skin structure production; Copper Tripeptide-1 is a carrier peptide that supports wound healing and skin remodeling; Nonapeptide-1 supports skin brightening; Carnosine provides antioxidant and anti-glycation activity; and Ascorbic Acid Polypeptide combines vitamin C with peptide for compounded brightening. Together they represent the full-spectrum anti-aging peptide treatment capacity of a concentrated clinical-grade formula.
• Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) and Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C) — radiance-boosting vitamins for energy and brightening — Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12) supports cellular energy metabolism and helps impart a healthy, radiant skin appearance — the source of the natural pink color alongside the PDRN. Ascorbic Acid delivers direct antioxidant brightening activity, complemented by Ascorbic Acid Polypeptide for enhanced stability and compounded vitamin C delivery in the MEDICUBE Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask.
• Color-change gel structure — pink to transparent as a real-time absorption indicator — The pink-to-transparent color transition is driven by the breakdown of the gel matrix as active ingredients absorb into the skin — the mask measurably loses approximately 15g during treatment, reflecting the actual volume of active solution delivered into the skin. The complete color change indicates optimal absorption, though full transparency varies by person; the treatment benefit continues regardless. This is one of the only clinically validated absorption indicators in a consumer mask format across all Korean skincare brands.

Who it's for

The MEDICUBE Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask is designed for all skin types — particularly those dealing with multiple simultaneous concerns including pores, dullness, uneven tone, loss of firmness, fine lines, and dehydration who want a single intensive treatment mask. It's especially effective as a weekly or bi-weekly treatment to supplement a daily routine, as a pre-event glass-skin treatment for immediate glow and firmness, and for anyone who wants the clinically validated benefits of Salmon PDRN and a 13-peptide complex in a convenient at-home format. Suitable for sensitive skin — dermatologically tested and low-irritating.

Pro tips and pairings

For maximum results from the MEDICUBE Salmon PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask, apply after cleansing and toner/serum steps on skin that is still slightly damp — the moisture helps the gel adhere and the PDRN fragments begin penetrating immediately. Overnight application (6–8 hours) consistently delivers more absorption than the daytime 3–4 hour application, based on the gel weight loss mechanic. Don't discard any residual essence on the mask after removal — pat it gently into the skin or neck for additional active delivery. Pair with the MEDICUBE Deep Vita C Pads as the preceding toner step on the same night — the dual-acid exfoliation from the pads clears the dead skin cell layer that would otherwise slow PDRN and collagen penetration, amplifying the mask's treatment depth.
