1. 0:00Another viral Korean skin care product
2. 0:02promises [music] to transform your skin
3. 0:05overnight. Hi, I'm Dr. Sarah Shu, a
4. 0:08Stanford trained dermatologist in the
5. 0:10United States. I cover [music]
6. 0:11skinincare with a focus on clinical
7. 0:14evidence. Today, let's talk about the
8. 0:16Biodance Real Deep Collagen [music]
9. 0:18Mask. This mask supposedly does it all.
10. 0:21It vanished. This reporter's [music]
11. 0:23wrinkles. It gives you glass skin
12. 0:25overnight. And celebrities swear by
13. 0:27them. By [music] the end of this video,
14. 0:29I'll cover what makes them special, how
15. 0:31to not mess up using them the way I did,
16. 0:34and [music] my verdict on this product
17. 0:35as a dermatologist. For those of you who
18. 0:38haven't tried it, this mask is unique
19. 0:40because you're supposed to leave it on
20. 0:42for at least 2 to 3 hours, not the usual
21. 0:4510 to 20 minutes that you normally leave
22. 0:47on a sheet mask. The company even
23. 0:49recommends leaving it on all night for
24. 0:52best results. If I tried doing that with
25. 0:54a normal sheet mask, I would have to use
26. 0:56pliers to pull that sad, dried out mask
27. 0:59off my face. Influencers swear that this
28. 1:02product changed their skin overnight,
29. 1:05gave them Korean glass skin, is an HG or
30. 1:08holy grail product, but that's pretty
31. 1:10much what influencers say about all
32. 1:12viral skincare trends. In the US, retail
33. 1:16pricing is around $19 for four masks.
34. 1:18So, each mask comes in at a little bit
35. 1:20under $5. You can pick them up on the
36. 1:23usual online Korean websites like Olive
37. 1:26Young and Style Vana, but also American
38. 1:28retailers like Amazon. Even Sephora is
39. 1:31selling them. And I saw bulk packages of
40. 1:33these at Costos in both Seattle and
41. 1:35Vancouver. Normal sheet masks have been
42. 1:38around a dollar or two for the 20 years
43. 1:40I've used them. So, these Biodans masks
44. 1:42are a lot more. They're more than double
45. 1:44what a typical sheet mask costs. My good
46. 1:46friend and skincare soulmate Punam
47. 1:48introduced me to these masks and she's
48. 1:50an expert at getting deals on Korean
49. 1:53beauty. She bought a bunch of these for
50. 1:55around $2 each by waiting for a good
51. 1:58sale at Olive Young and by using
52. 1:59coupons. After the original became
53. 2:02popular, Biodance released a few more
54. 2:04options like the hydroeranol and the
55. 2:06refreshing seal varieties. And I've just
56. 2:09been using the original. The most unique
57. 2:11feature of these masks is the material.
58. 2:14Most sheet masks feel just like moist
59. 2:17paper. Some feel like moist fabric, but
60. 2:19this one starts off feeling like jelly.
61. 2:21Putting it on your face feels like
62. 2:23you're sticking a cold jellyfish onto
63. 2:25your face. As it dries, it starts to
64. 2:28shrink down and parts of it start to
65. 2:30become transparent after about an hour
66. 2:32or two. After a while, it tightly wraps
67. 2:34onto your face, and it feels kind of
68. 2:36like you're wearing a thick layer of
69. 2:38plastic. Unlike most masks, this mask
70. 2:41comes in two main pieces. one for your
71. 2:44upper face and one for your lower face.
72. 2:46Technically, there are five pieces in
73. 2:48total if you include the three tiny baby
74. 2:51pieces that were in the eye and mouth
75. 2:53holes. I didn't know what to do with
76. 2:55these and the instructions on the back
77. 2:57of the packaging ignores their
78. 2:58existence, but a lot of people use them
79. 3:00on their nasol labial folds. That leaves
80. 3:03one baby piece for I don't know. I put
81. 3:05it on my neck, but it fell off after a
82. 3:07few hours. The company advertises that
83. 3:09the mask is hypoallerggetic and their
84. 3:12words, completely safe for sensitive
85. 3:15skin. I think that's a really bold
86. 3:17claim. Nothing in the world is
87. 3:19completely safe for everyone with
88. 3:21sensitive skin. Skin can be allergic to
89. 3:23water. Looking at the ingredients list,
90. 3:25it contains a couple of popular
91. 3:27fermentss including Galactoyces ferment
92. 3:30filtrate and bifida ferment filtrate.
93. 3:32Galactoyces ferment filtrate is often
94. 3:35advertised as having brightening
95. 3:36properties and it's in the Japanese
96. 3:38brand SK2s products. Bifida is
97. 3:41advertised as having skin barrier
98. 3:43strengthening properties, but they don't
99. 3:45work for everyone and some people report
100. 3:47developing fungal acne and facial
101. 3:49dandruff after using fermentss like
102. 3:51these. Facial dandruff can just look
103. 3:53like flaky eyebrows or peeling around
104. 3:56your nose. These fermentss activate the
105. 3:58same cell surface receptor as the yeast
106. 4:00that causes these problems in some
107. 4:03people. It also contains nioinamide
108. 4:05which is in everything but it doesn't
109. 4:07work for all people and some plant
110. 4:09extracts which again not everyone
111. 4:11tolerates. Other ingredients worth
112. 4:13calling out are [snorts] hyaluronic acid
113. 4:15for hydration, dip potassium glycerizate
114. 4:18or licorice root which is used for its
115. 4:20calming and brightening properties and
116. 4:22adenosine which activates the same
117. 4:24receptor as the trending anti-aging
118. 4:27ingredient PDRN. A few tips as someone
119. 4:30who went into my first application
120. 4:32without knowing much about this product.
121. 4:34Tip number one, I recommend putting it
122. 4:36on at least an hour and a half before
123. 4:39bedtime so that it dries down enough to
124. 4:41stay in place throughout the night. I'm
125. 4:43a side sleeper and if I put this on
126. 4:45right before going to bed, it would
127. 4:47probably just end up attached to my
128. 4:49pillow within 30 minutes of falling
129. 4:51asleep. Also, I would recommend that you
130. 4:54finish eating, brushing, and flossing
131. 4:56before you put this mask on. You don't
132. 4:59have to plan for these things in advance
133. 5:01when you're using a normal 10-minute
134. 5:03sheet mask. But once you have this thing
135. 5:05on, your face is trapped until the next
136. 5:07morning. It's even hard to yawn or smile
137. 5:10when it's on your face, especially once
138. 5:12it starts to dehydrate and shrink down.
139. 5:14Apple users who rely on Face ID, your
140. 5:17phone isn't going to recognize you, and
141. 5:19in fact, no one will. You are going to
142. 5:21look scary to everyone who sees you. So,
143. 5:24also be kind and give the people in your
144. 5:26household a heads up so you don't scare
145. 5:28them. So, remember how it started off a
146. 5:30white jelly-ike consistency? Now, we're
147. 5:33almost 2 hours in and you could see that
148. 5:35some areas are starting to turn clear
149. 5:37while others still have that white jelly
150. 5:40consistency. Areas that overlap, like
151. 5:42where the top mask meets the bottom
152. 5:44mask, are going to take the longest to
153. 5:46turn into this clear film. This is how
154. 5:49things look the next morning. It still
155. 5:51looks scary, but in a completely
156. 5:53different way. The entire mask is now a
157. 5:55tight, clear film that feels like a
158. 5:57thick layer of saran wrap. It also
159. 5:59reminds me of a thin layer of pleather
160. 6:02or vegan leather or like the kids snack
161. 6:04fruit roll-ups. Essentially, saran
162. 6:06wrapping my face overnight reduces
163. 6:08moisture evaporation from your skin,
164. 6:11also known as transepidermal water loss
165. 6:13or tulle. That's a big reason why your
166. 6:16skin looks and feels so hydrating after
167. 6:18using a mask like this. Having well
168. 6:21hydrated skin makes fine lines look less
169. 6:23noticeable and temporarily reduces the
170. 6:26appearance of aging. Slugging or
171. 6:28covering your skin in Vaseline also
172. 6:30reduces water loss from your skin by
173. 6:33oluding it and that can give you some of
174. 6:35these benefits too. This would be a
175. 6:37cheaper option but it would also be
176. 6:39messier and slimier. If you toss and
177. 6:41turn at all overnight, then the Vaseline
178. 6:44probably isn't staying on your face for
179. 6:46as long as this mask is. When you peel
180. 6:49the mask off your face, it also peels
181. 6:50off a layer of dead skin, so it has a
182. 6:52mild exfoliating effect, too. That gives
183. 6:55you a little bit of that bonus glow. I
184. 6:58don't plan on using these for daily skin
185. 7:00care since they're more expensive and
186. 7:01they require more planning than my usual
187. 7:04face masks. I'm a light sleeper and
188. 7:06feeling this on my face all night,
189. 7:08especially because it gets pretty tight
190. 7:10reduced the quality of my sleep. I also
191. 7:12didn't like not being able to yawn or
192. 7:14make facial expressions comfortably the
193. 7:16whole time it was on my face. So,
194. 7:18between the higher cost, need to plan,
195. 7:21and my light sleeping, this is not
196. 7:23something that I'm going to use every
197. 7:24day or every week. But, I do think that
198. 7:26they would be nice to use before special
199. 7:28events or if my skin is in really bad
200. 7:31shape from traveling. My skin hates
201. 7:33planes. If you've tried it, please share
202. 7:35your thoughts below. Thanks for joining
