Missed out on Prime Day? Don’t panic – one of the standout beauty buys from the sale, the viral medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Masks, is still on offer with a huge 43 per cent off, making now the perfect time to see what all the fuss is about.
With more than 60,000 packs bought in the past month alone and almost 9,000 five-star reviews, these glow-boosting sheet masks have become one of Amazon's top-selling K-Beauty skincare products – so I put them to the test.
Rising to virality with its hydrogel design that goes clear over time as you wear it, the medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask has been formulated to deliver a visible difference to the skin with each use.
When the mask is ready to remove you’ll notice that it has gone completely transparent, ready to be peeled off to reveal gorgeously glowing, smooth and plump skin.

Thanks to its innovative hydrogel formula, which gradually turns transparent as it works, the medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask has become a viral skincare sensation.
Designed to deliver visibly plumper, dewier, and more radiant-looking skin, the overnight treatment is packed with glow-boosting ingredients that help leave the complexion looking refreshed by morning.
A cult favourite that's flying off the shelves during the Prime Day sale, it's easy to see why the mask has earned such a loyal following. Formulated to deliver noticeable results from as little as one use, it's become a must-have for anyone looking to boost their glow with minimal effort.
What did Senior Commerce Writer Lydia Wheatley think of the medicube jelly masks?
I'm a self-confessed sheet mask obsessive. After returning from a recent trip to Japan with more than 100 K-Beauty and J-Beauty masks in my suitcase, it's safe to say they've become a non-negotiable part of my skincare routine. Rarely does a week go by without me reaching for at least five, thanks to the instant glow, plumper-looking skin and smoother complexion they deliver.
Despite this, I’d never tried my hand at a hydrogel face mask like this one from medicube, convincing myself that a mask that sits on my face for so long wasn’t my cup of tea and couldn’t tackle my areas of texture and uneven skin tone that other masks had never quite managed.
despite making me look a little bit silly, the mask sat comfortably without moving on my face for hours - even as I was sitting at my desk
But with so much I hype surrounding it I decided I simply needed to try out the medicube Salmon DNA PDRN Pink Collagen Jelly Gel Mask – and I’m so glad that I did.
These masks are nothing like the cotton/fabric masks I’m used to, instead coming in the form of a sheet of delicate jelly that moulds so much better to the contours of your face. The mask comes in two parts – one for the top of your face and one for the bottom – to ensure you get the perfect fit.
Popping the mask onto my face I noticed that it was far less slippery than I expected. Using it at my desk I was worried that it would slip, fall and give into gravity. I was pleasantly surprised to find, however, that it stayed put, keeping its place more as it dried.
It took the mask exactly two hours and 17 minutes to go completely clear, at which point I peeled it off to reveal a radiance my skin hadn’t seen before.
Glowing, quenched and visibly looking more plump, my skin appeared to have soaked up every drop of serum from the mask, and I’ve seldom seen it look quite so hydrated and radiant.
The radiance wasn't greasy or wet like other sheet masks. Because the mask dries fully on your face the glow is all your skin, which added a real lit-from-within finish.

I also have very sensitive skin and this didn't cause me any discomfort, and I didn’t see any redness post-removal either, which was a huge plus.
As for my texture and tone, I was extremely pleased to notice the redness on my nose and chin was reduced, and the visible pores on my nose and cheeks appeared smooth and almost airbrushed.
In short, my skin was looking pretty dull and lacklustre pre-mask, and looked quite fabulous after, with a true brightness, glow and plumped look I'm not used to.
And the satisfying peel off? The icing on the cake.
I’m incredibly pleased with the result – especially as I was able to take advantage of 43 per cent off and score four masks for under £10. Plus, I ordered with Prime delivery at about 4pm and received the mask at 1pm the following day in time to use the mask ahead of my evening plans. Speedy as anything.
For glowing skin that lasts, this viral medicube mask is now my trusted go-to, and I’ll be packing it in my holiday carry-on and keeping one bedside at all times for smoother, more even and incredibly hydrated skin on tap.
The ultra-thin 1mm hydrogel mask moulds closely to the skin, helping the ingredients absorb more effectively while delivering a cooling, soothing treatment that leaves skin looking plumper and more hydrated for up to 48 hours.
In a different league than your standard sheet mask, this gel-infused mask applies translucent, split into two halves to help you achieve the perfect fit on your face.
You then leave the mask on for three to four hours (or even overnight) to allow all the skincare goodness to be absorbed into your skin.
When the mask is ready to remove you’ll notice that it has gone completely transparent, ready to be peeled off to reveal gorgeously glowing, smooth and plump skin.
Whether you wear the mask overnight to wake to gorgeous skin or pop it on at your WFH desk, you’re guaranteed instant radiance and a more even skin tone and texture in its wake.
The hero ingredient in the mask is Salmon PDRN, one of K-Beauty's most talked-about skincare actives and credited with helping improve hydration, firmness and the appearance of fine lines
In fact, almost 9,000 Amazon reviewers have rated the mask a five-star buy, raving of the ‘luxurious, non-sticky feel’ and sensitive skin-friendly formula.
So what's actually inside the viral mask? The hero ingredient is Salmon PDRN, one of K-Beauty's most talked-about skincare actives and credited with helping improve hydration, firmness and the appearance of fine lines.
Low-molecular collagen elevates the ingredient blend to boost the illusion of elasticity levels while delivering a lit-from-within, luminous-looking glow, while 13 forms of peptides help to reduce visible signs of aging for a smoother finish.
For best results, the brand recommends using the two-part mask overnight as a sleeping mask, and thanks to its mess and residue-free application, many shoppers have been seen using the anti-aging mask on long-haul flights to keep skin looking radiant.

One reviewer wrote: ‘I love this mask so much that I bought 3 packs during Prime week. It's jelly-like, cool, fresh and moisturizing. I have sensitive skin but it doesn't irritate my skin at all when I leave it on overnight.’
If you've been tempted by the viral medicube masks but were waiting for the right time to try them, this lingering post-Prime Day deal makes it an excellent opportunity to stock up for less. Just don't wait too long - the offer won't be around forever.
