Dermatologists explain what collagen face masks can (and can’t) do for your skin
Experts say collagen masks may hydrate and offer temporary elasticity, but long-term production boost evidence is limited, per a small study.
- Dermatologists clarified that current studies offer limited strong evidence about collagen masks' benefits, with Dr. Rina Allawh, board-certified dermatologist with Schweiger Dermatology Group in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, providing expert clarification.
- After age 20, your skin produces 1% less collagen each year, so consumers often seek supplements or masks because collagen helps skin hold water and appear plumper.
- Small trials, including a Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology study of 60 middle-aged women, found short-term skin improvements with hydrolyzed collagen, and oral collagen trials reported decreased pore size after 90 days, dermatologists said.
- Topical collagen tends not to irritate, but supporting ingredients like antioxidants, botanical extracts, or fragrances can cause reactions, so consumers should remove masks if burning or redness occurs and wash with gentle face washes before applying a thin moisturizer.
- Larger, conclusive studies are still needed to settle collagen masks' effectiveness, and dermatologists recommend broad-spectrum SPF moisturizer or sunscreen with laser treatments and radiofrequency devices.
