As we age, we gain a lot of things, like wisdom, priceless vintage pieces, and a Zagat-level knowledge of the best local restaurants. One thing we do lose out on, however, is collagen. “Our bodies’ collagen production decreases naturally as we get older,” says Sarah Akram, a celebrity esthetician based in Alexandria, VA, and founder of Sarah Akram Skincare. “Collagen in our skin is produced naturally by fibroblasts. As we get older, these fibroblasts cannot produce collagen as efficiently and effectively as younger people can.” In other words, our skin gets thinner, leading to those classic signs of aging, like drooping, fine lines, and wrinkles.
Truthfully, this happens to every single person throughout their lives, as it’s a part of being human. However, skin care brands have developed several products to help restore collagen and slow down that process. Think transformative peptide eye creams, wrinkle creams, and collagen face masks. “Collagen in skin care can help compensate for the decrease in collagen production you face as you get older,” says Dr. Rachel Westbay, a board-certified dermatologist at Marmur Medical. “This can help diminish fine lines and wrinkles and help the skin look more youthful and plump.” She’s partial to collagen-infused face masks, since they allow you to keep collagen on the skin “for a long amount of time so that the skin can absorb the ingredients maximally,” she explains.
Our top picks for the best collagen sheet masks in 2025
After speaking to experts and other ELLE editors about the best collagen face masks, I also scoured the internet for top-shelf options and read through countless customer reviews. At the end of my research, I had all the information I needed to provide you with this collection of the 10 best collagen masks to bring your skin back to life.
Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask
Pros
- Provides noticeable results
Cons
- Shape may not fit everyone perfectly
TikTok has fallen in love with this collagen mask, and it’s not hard to see why. The ultra-hydrating product is designed to be used as you sleep to “let the [ingredients] penetrate your skin over time. This is a great affordable option to increase your collagen intake,” explains Dr. Westbay.
Key ingredients: Collagen, probiotics
Size: 16 masks
Amazon rating: 4.3/5 stars
An ELLE editor says: “I absolutely love face masks and have tried a generous amount of them. But, this was the first overnight sheet mask I’ve ever used, and now I’m hooked. The mask had a soothing cooling sensation as I applied it, and was actually comfortable to sleep in. When I removed it in the morning, my skin felt so soft and smooth that I was visibly shocked at the results. These masks are now a staple in my beauty routine.” —Tasha Smith, ELLE beauty assistant
Dr. Jart+ Cryo Rubber Face Mask With Firming Collagen
Pros
- Plumps the skin
Cons
- May not be suitable for very sensitive skin
“This is a two-step mask meant to plump the skin and reduce the look of dryness. This make will also assist with getting rid of fine lines and wrinkles,” says Dr. Westbay. The ampoule contains plumping collagen, hydrating glycerin, and brightening niacinamide, while the rubber mask helps to lock everything in and cool your face down.
Key ingredients: Collagen, glycerin, niacinamide
Size: 1 mask
Sephora rating: 4.3/5 stars
An ELLE editor says: “This rubber mask was a big hit when I brought it on a trip with friends. The two steps will make you feel like you’re doing a fun science experiment, and the result is a Vanilla Sky-like moisturizing mask. Unlike sheet masks, which can make your skin look and feel wet, this gives you more of a slight matte glow, but still with a strong moisturizing feeling. It’s good for people who describe sheet masks as ‘slimy.’” —Kathleen Hou, ELLE beauty director
Pros
- Comes with enough serum to also apply décolletage and hands
Cons
- Mask may be too short for some faces
Gel masks have become the It girls of the sheet mask world. Because of their texture, they’re ultra-cooling and adhere like a second skin, preventing them from sliding around like fabric sheet masks. This new one by Mediheal comes in two parts for easy application and infuses the skin with collagen for plumping, shea butter for moisture, and glutathione for its brightening effects.
Key ingredients: Collagen, shea butter, glutathione
Size: 4 masks
Amazon rating: 4.2/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer says: “The collagen mask was easy to use and quick to apply to my face. I think the mask did a pretty good job at hydrating my skin and tightening my pores. After following the instructions and leaving it on for 30 minutes, I feel like my skin felt a lot firmer.”
Pros
- Soothing formula
- Can be kept on for hours
Cons
- Sells out often
It’s kind of Peach & Lily’s thing to give us shortcuts to glass skin, and the brand does it exceptionally well. The Glass Skin Ginseng Collagen Mask, in particular, is a gem, with its 55,000 PPM of vegan collagen and a dose of antioxidant-rich ginseng extract, which brightens the skin and prevents signs of aging from appearing in the first place. When you’re prepping for big events, this mask is a must.
Key ingredients: Collagen, peptides, ginseng extract, niacinamide, lipids, cica, hyaluronic acid
Size: 1 mask
Peach & Lily rating: 4.8/5 stars
A Peach & Lily reviewer says: “I love this mask. I slept with it on like some reviewers recommended, and I felt the added benefit. The next day, I had lunch with my father, and he complimented me on my complexion, which he has never done before. I’m so pleased with this product that I will always have one in the house, and I definitely recommend!”
Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask
Pros
- Eliminates excess sebum
Cons
- Some may dislike jar packaging
Although most clay masks are not suitable for dry skin, this one actually “combats dryness and aging skin,” Akram reports. The formula brightens and plumps, and the infusion of oatmeal calms the skin.
Key ingredients: Collagen, oatmeal, red algae extract, kaolin clay
Size: 2 oz.
Amazon rating: 4.4/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer says: “This mask is the only one that didn’t irritate my skin among all the products I have tried. After only one use, bumps on my cheek got so much better, and my dull skin and fine lines disappeared. I am so happy about the results, and I recommend this product to anyone.”
Knesko Gold Repair Collagen Multi Masking Kit
Pros
- Contains a significant amount of serum
Cons
- Does not include the same quantity of each mask
Gild yourself with this mask set and emerge with a blinding glow. The kit includes two face masks, two eye masks, a neck mask, a décolleté mask, and a lip mask, all of which are soaked in a serum chock-full of wrinkle-combatting ingredients, like collagen and hyaluronic acid.
Key ingredients: Collagen, hyaluronic acid, elastin
Size: 7 masks
Knesko rating: 4.3/5 stars
A Knesko reviewer says: “Recently had a friend come to visit, and we wanted to have a quiet evening of meditation, spa music, best friend time, and facials. I purchased these masks for face, neck, lips, eyes, and decolletage. When our relaxing time was up, we went to the magnifying mirror and unmasked. And for the first time, I had a gasp-worthy moment. As did my friend. We are both 54 years old and each had a glimpse of our 30-year-old selves—plumper, hydrated skin with a more even tone. Dark spots decreased and a far more glowing appearance.”
Medicube Collagen Overnight Wrapping Mask
Pros
- Peels off for easy cleanup

Pros

Cons
- Shape of the mask may not fit everyone perfectly
Korean-founded brand Rael has created a collagen sheet mask that works for everyone concerned about fine lines and wrinkles—even those with sensitive skin. Because the serum features amino acids and hydrolyzed collagen, it’s a pro at restoring elasticity and volume in the face.
Key ingredients: Collagen, amino acids
Size: 5 masks
Amazon rating: 4.7/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer says: “I have tried every collagen-based face mask in the book, and Rael definitely delivers. I enjoyed [it] because of the generous amount of essence they provided. The serum used smelled pleasant and absorbed into the skin so well I felt like I was having a mini spa facial at home! After using a few masks, I noticed the hydrolyzed collagen drastically improved the sagginess in my skin. I love how they are so simple to use!”
Pros
- Pleasant scent
Cons
- Can be slippery
The Lapcos collagen sheet mask, powered by collagen and peptides, only takes about 10 minutes to give your skin a much-needed boost. After a quick self-care session involving this treatment, your skin will look smoother, plumper, and revitalized.

Size: 5 masks
Amazon rating: 4.5/5 stars
An Amazon reviewer says: “I have dry, aged skin from years of working and having fun outside and multiple military deployments to the Middle East. I’m also going through early menopause and am sensitive to just about anything I put on my face. It’s kind of a wreck. I washed my skin, toned with witch hazel, and put on a collagen mask for 20 minutes. No rinse afterwards. My skin was noticeably more plump, [it] softened my wrinkles, and [it] made my skin softer.”

What is collagen?
According to Akram, collagen is “the primary building block in our bodies found in the middle layer of our skin (dermis).” She also explains that up to 30 percent of the protein in our bodies is collagen since it appears in other places, including our muscles, bones, and other organs.
Who can use collagen face masks?
Collagen face masks are best suited for those of us whose collagen production has slowed down. “Anyone with skin concerns related to aging, such as fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity, can use them. I would not recommend using collagen until you are an adult, as anyone younger has very sufficient collagen production,” says Dr. Westbay.
