  • Put the mask on clean and slightly dry skin for the best results and comfort.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a simple patch test before using it for the first time.

People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 1.3k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, users consistently praise this mask for its ultra-thin 0.2mm sheet that adheres like a "second skin," allowing the rich emulsion-type essence to absorb deeply without feeling heavy.

Questions and answers

How well does Etude House Collagen Mask work for oily skin?

This product works fairly well for oily skin by offering soothing and calming benefits, though it does not control excess shine. Oily skin needs a product of this type with oil-controlling and mattifying ingredients that keep the skin balanced.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, 2007

Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for oily skin?

This mask fits oily skin with Melaleuca Alternifolia Tree Oil Leaf and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract for antimicrobial and antioxidant support, along with soothing Centella Asiatica Extract and Licorice Root Extract. A product of this type needs heartleaf extract and other soothing agents to provide hydration without clogging pores, alongside oil control or mattifying properties.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, 2007

What does Hydrolyzed Collagen do for oily skin?

Hydrolyzed collagen helps keep oily skin hydrated and balanced without feeling heavy or greasy. Because this type of skin tends to lose moisture while producing excess oil, it needs lightweight ingredients that provide hydration and support overall skin health.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2015Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2019

What does Hyaluronic Acid do for oily skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps oily skin by reducing extra oil and sebum production without causing irritation. Clinical studies show it successfully balances oil levels while keeping the skin comfortable.

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2017

Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This mask is a weekly extra step that fits into your routine after cleansing and before your toner, treatment, and moisturizer. Oily skin works best with products that balance oil and shine while keeping pores clear.

Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this mask in your routine, applying it after your retinol treatment to help soothe the skin. Using a mask with barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides and sodium hyaluronate is unlikely to cause irritation and may help keep your skin comfortable while using retinol. Oily skin works best with lightweight products that help control shine and balance oil production.

Cutis, 2006Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012

How often should I use this mask?

You can use this mask weekly to give your oily skin extra hydration and soothing benefits. Oily skin works best with products that control shine and balance oil while delivering lightweight moisture.

Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for oily skin, as it contains soothing extracts and has a safe profile with no harsh ingredients. However, because it works for this skin only on an average level and does not directly target oily shine, an oily skin type needs lightweight products with oil-controlling ingredients and mattifying benefits.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, 2007

Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
