In case you haven’t heard, the hottest new celebrity-endorsed skin care treatment is the “salmon sperm facial.” Trust us, it’s not as weird as it sounds. This formula injects polydeoxyribonucleotides (PDRN) derived from salmon sperm into the skin to boost collagen production. One big catch: The facial will set you back hundreds of dollars. Still, this face mask allows you to apply salmon PDRN to moisturize and stimulate collagen topically, and also contains low-molecular collagen to instantly plump the skin. Whether you use it for three to four hours or overnight, don’t be surprised if you see a visible improvement in elasticity and the appearance of fine lines.
Key ingredients: Hydrolyzed collagen, niacinamide, salmon DNA (PDRN)
Size: 4 sheets
Amazon rating: 4.2/5 stars
An ELLE editor says: “Yes, you kind of look like a horror movie villain while you wear this mask, but don’t worry—once you take it off, you’ll unveil a soothed and deeply hydrated complexion. I haven’t worn it overnight yet, but I have used it during the day, and can only imagine how beautiful my skin would look after a couple of extra hours.”—Carol Lee, ELLE.com associate beauty e-commerce writer
