If you're anything like me, you've probably seen a ton of TikToks and Instagram reels featuring the viral Sungboon Editor Deep Collagen Power Boosting Hydrogel Mask, a supposedly miraculous jelly mask that turns clear after first appearing white. Influencers often rave about the SUNGBOON EDITOR Deep Collagen Mask, encouraging viewers to click their links to try the trending skincare product themselves. Because I’m definitely not immune to FOMO (fear of missing out), I ended up purchasing a pack of the Sungboon Editor Deep Collagen Power Boosting Hydrogel Mask to see if the hype was real.
There are four varieties of SUNGBOON EDITOR Deep Collagen Mask, each designed to target different skin concerns. I decided to go with the most popular anti-wrinkle lifting version of the Sungboon Editor Deep Collagen Power Boosting Hydrogel Mask, which claims to deeply moisturize the skin, improve elasticity, and help revitalize sagging or tired-looking skin.
How to use
• Apply the Sungboon Editor Deep Collagen Power Boosting Hydrogel Mask to clean skin after toner
• Leave it on for about 3–4 hours before removing
The SUNGBOON EDITOR Deep Collagen Mask initially feels slimy and damp (not in a bad way), but after a while it warms up, conforms to the skin, and slightly shrinks as it absorbs. At the beginning, my eyebrows are hidden beneath the Sungboon Editor Deep Collagen Power Boosting Hydrogel Mask, but by the end they become visible through the eye openings. Aside from the fact that any stray hairs may stick to the mask right away, the SUNGBOON EDITOR Deep Collagen Mask is actually quite comfortable to wear.
My impressions
Many TikTok creators recommend wearing the Sungboon Editor Deep Collagen Power Boosting Hydrogel Mask overnight. I tried that once, but it didn’t work out for me because I simply can’t sleep with a mask on my face. Most of the time, I leave the SUNGBOON EDITOR Deep Collagen Mask on for about an hour. However, on one occasion I left it on for several hours, which unfortunately caused irritation, redness, and stinging for about twelve hours after removing the mask. While the reaction was temporary, it was still uncomfortable and worth mentioning.
That said, I can understand why many influencers are impressed with the Sungboon Editor Deep Collagen Power Boosting Hydrogel Mask. My first hydrogel mask experience was over five years ago with Dr. Jart, and I remember feeling similarly excited. However, Dr. Jart masks are typically used for around 40 minutes, which fits my routine and skin better. Also, because those masks are colored, you can’t really see the cool transformation like you can with the SUNGBOON EDITOR Deep Collagen Mask gradually becoming clear over time.
Overall, the Sungboon Editor Deep Collagen Power Boosting Hydrogel Mask does a great job hydrating and plumping the skin, temporarily minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Using the SUNGBOON EDITOR Deep Collagen Mask before a photoshoot or special event could definitely be a good idea. However, using it as part of my daily skincare routine would not be financially practical, at least for me.
If you’ve been curious about trying the Sungboon Editor Deep Collagen Power Boosting Hydrogel Mask, it may still be worth experiencing the viral trend yourself. Just remember that if your skin prefers shorter mask sessions like mine does, you might want to avoid leaving the SUNGBOON EDITOR Deep Collagen Mask on for more than four hours at a time.
