Wake up to visibly firmer, plumper, and deeply hydrated skin with Abib's innovative overnight jelly mask. This unique formula combines potent PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), often derived from salmon, known for its skin-regenerating properties, with Collagen to support elasticity and firmness while you sleep. The refreshing jelly texture melts into the skin, delivering intensive moisture without feeling heavy, making it a luxurious final step in your nighttime routine, especially beneficial after exposure to sun or drying air-conditioned environments in Mauritius.
At-a-Glance (30s) (who it's for, what to expect)
- Who it's for: Ideal for those noticing early signs of aging (loss of firmness, fine lines) or experiencing dryness and dehydration. Suitable for most skin types looking for overnight repair and plumping, though very oily types might use a thinner layer.
- What it does: Works overnight to deeply hydrate, improve skin elasticity, promote a firmer appearance, and soothe tired skin.
- Texture & Scent: Refreshing, lightweight jelly texture that absorbs without stickiness. Typically minimal or no strong fragrance (check Allergens section).
- Key Ingredients: PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide), Collagen, Hydrating agents (specifics in Ingredient section).
- Expected Results: Skin feels intensely hydrated, plump, and looks smoother and more refreshed by morning. Firming effects are cumulative with consistent use.
Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)
Use this as the very last step in your PM routine, 2-3 times per week or as needed:
- Cleanse: Wash face thoroughly.
- Hydrate/Treat (Optional): Apply your usual toner or serum if desired.
- Apply Mask: Scoop a nickel-sized amount (see "How to Use") and smooth evenly over face and neck.
- Sleep: Let it absorb and work overnight. Rinse off in the morning.
Note: Already own a similar step (like another sleeping mask)? Finish that first (substitute, don’t stack unnecessarily).
PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)
Integrate this mask as the final step on nights you use it:
- Cleanse: Start with an oil cleanser if wearing makeup/sunscreen, followed by a water-based cleanser.
- Tone (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner to prep skin.
- Treat (Optional): Apply targeted serums (e.g., hydrating, brightening). Allow a minute to absorb.
- Moisturise (Optional): Apply your regular night cream, especially if skin is very dry. Let it absorb slightly.
- Apply Abib PDRN Mask: Take an appropriate amount and gently spread over face and neck. Pat lightly.
- Sleep: Leave on overnight.
Texture Rule Reminder: Always apply products from thinnest to thickest consistency. This mask is the final, sealing layer.
How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (AM/PM amounts) (amount, frequency, and tips)
Night Use (PM Only):
- Amount: Use a nickel-sized amount (approx. 1-1.5 ml) for the face and neck. Adjust based on your skin's needs – less if oily, slightly more if very dry.
- Apply to: Clean face and neck, as the very last step of your evening skincare routine. Avoid the immediate eye area unless specified as eye-safe.
- Method: Gently smooth the jelly mask over your skin. Pat lightly to aid absorption. No need to rub vigorously.
- Wait times: Apply after your regular moisturizer has slightly absorbed (wait 1-2 minutes). Let the mask form a light layer before lying down (wait 5-10 minutes if possible).
- Frequency: Start with 2-3 times per week. Can be used more often if skin is very dry or needs extra repair, or less often (once a week) as a maintenance boost.
Dosage Quick Reference:
- Sleeping Pack: Nickel-size; 2-3×/week (or more if needed) as last PM step.
If-This / Then-That:
- Very oily T-zone? Apply a thinner layer, focusing more on drier areas like cheeks if needed.
- Very dry/AC environment? Use generously after a hydrating serum and cream to lock everything in. Can be used nightly if needed.
- Sensitive/reactive? Patch test first. Use only 1-2 times per week initially. Apply over a calming serum.
- Using Retinoids or Strong Acids? Use this mask on your "off nights" from strong actives, or apply it *after* your retinoid/acid has fully absorbed (wait 20-30 mins) if your skin tolerates it, to provide extra hydration and reduce irritation.
Watchouts: Stickiness usually subsides as it dries. If skin feels overly congested in the morning, try using less product or less frequently.
Safety: For external use only. Avoid applying to broken or irritated skin. Stop use immediately if a burning sensation or rash occurs.
Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)
Use this sleeping mask 2-3 times per week as the final step in your PM routine. Here's an example schedule incorporating other actives:
- Monday PM: Active Night (e.g., Retinol or AHA/BHA Exfoliant) - Follow with a simple moisturizer.
- Tuesday PM: Recovery Night - Use gentle hydrating/soothing products, finish with Abib PDRN Collagen Mask.
- Wednesday PM: Hydration Night - Focus on hydrating serums/essences, finish with your regular moisturizer.
- Thursday PM: Active Night (alternate active if using multiple, e.g., Exfoliant if Monday was Retinol).
- Friday PM: Recovery Night - Gentle routine + Abib PDRN Collagen Mask.
- Saturday PM: Free Night / Simple Hydration.
- Sunday PM: Optional - Gentle routine + Abib PDRN Collagen Mask (if needed for extra boost).
Rules:
- Use this mask primarily on nights *without* strong exfoliating acids or retinoids to focus on repair and hydration, OR apply it 20-30 minutes *after* actives if your skin is well-acclimated and needs extra moisture.
- Listen to your skin: If it feels irritated, skip actives and use this mask for soothing and recovery.
Mauritius Note: In very humid weather, you might use a slightly thinner layer or reduce frequency if your skin feels sufficiently hydrated without it.
Safety: If irritation occurs, reduce frequency and ensure you're not over-using other actives.
What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate → 8+ weeks)
- Immediate (First Use): Skin feels instantly hydrated, cooler, and appears plumper and dewier upon waking. Surface dryness or tightness is relieved.
- 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use (2-3 times/week), skin texture may feel smoother and more supple. Overall hydration levels improve, potentially reducing the appearance of fine dehydration lines. Skin looks more rested and radiant.
- 4-8+ Weeks: Cumulative benefits become more noticeable. Skin may appear firmer and more elastic due to the effects of PDRN and Collagen support. The barrier feels stronger and more resilient. Long-term hydration helps maintain a healthy glow. (Note: Significant firming takes consistent use over months).
Individual results vary. Consistency and pairing with daily sun protection are key for optimal outcomes.
Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)
- Why use a Sleeping Mask instead of just a heavy night cream? Sleeping masks like this one often have unique textures (like jelly) designed to form a breathable film that seals in moisture and actives more effectively overnight without feeling overly greasy or transferring easily onto pillows, compared to some traditional heavy creams. They deliver a concentrated boost of hydration and repair while you sleep.
- Why this instead of DIY collagen masks (e.g., egg whites)? While DIY masks like egg whites provide temporary tightening, they don't contain ingredients like PDRN or specific collagen peptides formulated to support skin regeneration and hydration at a deeper level. This mask offers targeted, science-backed ingredients for overnight repair and firming benefits.
Compatibility Guide (what to pair it with)
Works Well With:
- Hydrating Toners & Serums: (e.g., Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Beta-Glucan) - Apply before the mask to maximize hydration.
- Niacinamide: Can be used in a serum underneath for brightening and barrier support.
- Gentle Peptides: Peptide serums can be applied before the mask to enhance firming effects.
- Soothing Ingredients: (e.g., Centella Asiatica, Panthenol) - Excellent to use under the mask, especially if skin is irritated.
Use With Caution (Listen to Your Skin):
- Retinoids (Retinol, Retinal): Apply retinoid first, wait 20-30 minutes for it to absorb, then apply this mask over it if needed for extra hydration and to buffer potential irritation. Start by using them on alternate nights.
- Exfoliating Acids (AHA, BHA): Similar to retinoids, apply acids first, wait, then apply the mask if needed. Using this mask on "off nights" from acids is often preferred to focus on recovery.
- Vitamin C (L-Ascorbic Acid): Usually used in the AM. If using a Vitamin C serum at night, apply it first, wait, then apply the mask.
Avoid Layering Directly With:
- Heavy Facial Oils (applied *after*): This mask is designed as the final occlusive step. Applying a heavy oil on top might be redundant or feel too heavy. Use oils *before* this mask if desired.
Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)
- Dry Skin: Excellent. Provides deep, lasting hydration and helps combat dryness and flakiness overnight.
- Dehydrated Skin: Excellent. Helps replenish water content and seals in moisture effectively.
- Normal Skin: Very good. Use 2-3 times a week for maintenance hydration and firming benefits.
- Combination Skin: Good. Apply normally, perhaps slightly less on the T-zone if prone to congestion. Jelly texture is generally well-tolerated.
- Oily Skin: Use with caution. The jelly texture might be suitable, but monitor for any feeling of heaviness or morning congestion. Apply a thinner layer or use less frequently (e.g., once a week).
- Acne-Prone Skin: Use with caution. While PDRN can be healing, ensure other ingredients are non-comedogenic for your skin. Patch test advised. Might be beneficial for hydration if using drying acne treatments, applied on non-active areas.
- Sensitive Skin: Generally suitable due to Abib's focus on gentle formulas, but patch testing is always recommended, especially if sensitive to marine-derived ingredients (PDRN) or specific preservatives.
- Mature Skin: Excellent. Addresses key concerns like dryness, loss of firmness, and elasticity.
Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)
- Loss of Firmness & Elasticity: Contains Collagen and PDRN to support skin's structure and promote a firmer appearance over time.
- Dryness & Dehydration: Jelly texture provides intense overnight hydration, locking in moisture and relieving tightness.
- Fine Lines (especially dehydration lines): Plumps skin with moisture, making fine lines appear less prominent.
- Dullness & Tired Skin: Revitalizes and refreshes the complexion overnight for a brighter, more rested look.
- Skin Repair & Regeneration: PDRN is known to support skin's natural repair processes.
Product Identity & Provenance (official details)
- Official Full Name: Abib PDRN Collagen Overnight Mask Firming Jelly
- Brand: Abib
- Origin: Made in South Korea
- Authenticity: Sourced directly from authorized distributors in South Korea. 100% genuine guaranteed.
- Shelf Life & PAO: Typically 30-36 months unopened from manufacture date (제조). Period After Opening (PAO) is usually 12 months (check packaging for exact symbol).
- Packaging: Jar (typically 80ml).
Conscious & Permissible Formulation (Halal, Vegan, Animal Testing)
- Halal Status: Halal-Friendly*. PDRN is often derived from salmon DNA, which is permissible if sourced correctly. Collagen source is unspecified; if plant/synthetic/fish-derived, it is permissible. Formula check needed for alcohol denat./ethanol.

*Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available ingredient data (PDRN typically fish-derived; Collagen source not specified, assumed non-vegan; no other haram/animal ingredients detected). / *Brand-stated; not certified by an independent body.
Regulatory & Claims Basis (K-Beauty Truth Box) (official classification)
- MFDS Classification: Likely classified as a standard Cosmetic in South Korea. May potentially qualify for Functional Cosmetic status for Wrinkle Improvement if specific concentrations of approved ingredients like Adenosine are present (requires INCI check). PDRN itself is not a listed functional ingredient for cosmetics by MFDS but is used in medical devices and pharmaceuticals for regeneration.
- Clinical Evidence: Specific clinical trial data for this exact product's firming efficacy is not readily available in public domain. Claims likely based on ingredient rationale (known functions of PDRN, Collagen). Brand claim—no public dataset available for independent verification.
- Medical Disclaimer: This product is a cosmetic, intended for skincare appearance. It is not a medical treatment for any skin disease. For persistent skin concerns, please consult a dermatologist.
Complete Ingredient Transparency (key actives + full INCI)
Note: Full INCI list should be obtained from packaging or official brand source for verification. Based on product name and description, key components likely include:
Key Actives & Functions (Expected):
- Sodium DNA (PDRN): Polydeoxyribonucleotide, often salmon-derived. Supports skin regeneration, wound healing, and may stimulate collagen production.
- Hydrolyzed Collagen / Collagen Extract: Provides surface hydration and film-forming benefits, contributing to a plump appearance. Smaller hydrolyzed molecules may offer some deeper benefits.
- Glycerin / Hyaluronic Acid / Betaine: Humectants to draw and retain moisture in the skin.
- Niacinamide (Potentially): Often included in firming/brightening products for its barrier-strengthening and tone-evening benefits.
- Adenosine (Potentially): MFDS-approved ingredient for wrinkle improvement, often found in anti-aging K-beauty products.
Full INCI List: (Please refer to product packaging for the most accurate and complete list). Example structure: Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Sodium DNA, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Niacinamide, Betaine, Carbomer, Tromethamine, Adenosine, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, etc.
Preservative System: Typically uses standard cosmetic preservatives like phenoxyethanol, ethylhexylglycerin, or caprylyl glycol.
Alcohol Clarifier: Check list for Alcohol Denat. or Ethanol (drying alcohols). Fatty alcohols (like Cetyl, Stearyl, Cetearyl Alcohol) are moisturizing emollients and generally beneficial.
Allergens & Fragrance Disclosure (scent profile and potential irritants)
- Fragrance Status: Abib often focuses on gentle formulas, sometimes omitting artificial fragrance or using minimal essential oils. Check INCI for "Fragrance (Parfum)" or specific essential oil names (e.g., Lavandula Angustifolia Oil).
- Scent Profile: Likely subtle, fresh, or potentially unscented. User reviews often describe Abib products as having clean or minimal scents. Intensity: Low (Estimate 1-2/5).
- EU Allergens: Check INCI for the 26 declarable fragrance allergens (Linalool, Limonene, Geraniol, etc.) if fragrance or essential oils are present. If full INCI is unavailable: None declared by brand; cannot fully verify—patch test advised.
- Other Potential Irritants: Monitor list for high concentrations of certain botanical extracts if known sensitivity exists.
Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)
General Safety:
- For external use only.
- Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
- Discontinue use immediately if signs of irritation (persistent redness, itching, burning) or rash appear, and consult a doctor if symptoms persist.
- Keep out of reach of children.
Who Should Use With Caution:
- Individuals with known allergies to fish/marine products (due to PDRN) or specific ingredients listed.
- Those with highly sensitive or reactive skin should always patch test first.
Patch Test Protocol:
- Apply a small (pea-sized) amount of the mask to a discreet area of clean skin, such as the jawline, behind the ear, or inner elbow.
- Leave on for the recommended duration (overnight in this case, though an initial 30-minute test can check for immediate reaction).
- Rinse off (if applicable for shorter test). Monitor the area for 24-48 hours.
- Check again at 72 hours for any delayed reaction.
- If no redness, itching, swelling, or blistering occurs, the product is likely safe for you to use on the face.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: PDRN and Collagen topically are generally considered low-risk, but consult your doctor before introducing new active skincare products during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to limited specific data.
Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)
- Texture: Lightweight, bouncy jelly or gel-cream.
- Feel on Skin: Cooling and hydrating upon application. Absorbs relatively quickly, leaving a smooth, slightly plump, non-sticky finish once settled.
- Appearance: Likely translucent or slightly opaque jelly.
- pH: Expected to be in the skin-friendly range of pH 5.0 - 6.5 (typical for Abib).
- Oil Content: Likely low oil or oil-free, relying on humectants and film-formers for moisture.
- Comedogenicity Potential: Designed to be suitable for overnight use, likely formulated to be non-comedogenic, but individual responses vary. Check INCI for potentially clogging ingredients if highly acne-prone.
- Fungal Acne (Malassezia Folliculitis) Safety: Check INCI for common triggers (esters, fatty acids, polysorbates, ferments). Jelly texture might be suitable, but verification needed. Individual responses vary; patch test advised if prone to FA.
Troubleshooting Guide (common issues and solutions)
-
Issue: Feels sticky after application.
- Solution: You might be using too much product. Try applying a thinner layer. Ensure skin is slightly damp before application to help spreadability. Wait 5-10 minutes for it to fully absorb before bed.
-
Issue: Waking up with skin feeling greasy or congested.
- Solution: Reduce the amount used or decrease frequency (e.g., use 1-2 times per week instead of 3). Ensure you are cleansing thoroughly in the morning. If persists, it might be too occlusive for your skin type.
-
Issue: Mild tingling upon application.
- Solution: This can sometimes happen with active ingredients or changes in pH. If it's brief and mild, it might be normal. If persistent or uncomfortable, discontinue use. Ensure your skin barrier isn't compromised from other products.
-
Issue: Not seeing significant firming results after a few weeks.
- Solution: Firming effects from collagen support take time (often 8+ weeks of consistent use). Ensure you are using it regularly and complementing with daily sun protection (UV damage undermines firming efforts). Consider adding other firming ingredients like peptides or Vitamin C in your routine.
Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)
- Humid Conditions (Most of the year): The lightweight jelly texture is generally suitable for Mauritius' humidity. Apply a moderate layer. If you have oily/combination skin, you might find it sufficient as a standalone night moisturizer on very humid nights.
- Drier Conditions ('Winter' months or Air-Conditioned environments): Excellent for combating dryness caused by AC or slightly cooler, less humid air. Use a more generous layer or apply it over your regular night cream for an extra occlusive boost.
- Sun Exposure Recovery: Great for soothing and rehydrating skin after sun exposure (use in the PM after cleansing).
- General Tip: Listen to your skin daily. On very sticky nights, you might need less; on drier days or after sun, you might need more.

- Packaging Cues: Look for standard Abib packaging details: high-quality printing, correct logos, batch codes, and expiration dates (often printed on the bottom or side). Packaging typically includes both Korean and English text.
- Seals & Texture: Genuine products often come with safety seals. The jelly texture should match descriptions – bouncy, smooth, not separated or gritty.
- Verification Support: If you have any doubts, contact us on WhatsApp (+230 5 778 2336) with photos of the product and packaging, including batch codes, and we'll assist.
Evidence & Sources (the science behind the product)
- PDRN (Sodium DNA): Ingredient Rationale. Polydeoxyribonucleotide has been studied, particularly in pharmaceutical contexts (e.g., wound healing gels, ophthalmic solutions), for its ability to promote tissue repair and reduce inflammation. Studies suggest it works by providing building blocks for DNA synthesis and stimulating cell growth factors (like VEGF) and adenosine A2A receptors, which are involved in tissue regeneration and anti-inflammatory pathways. Cosmetic claims are based on extrapolating these known biological activities to skin rejuvenation. Brand claim—no public dataset available for independent verification of this specific product's PDRN efficacy.
- Collagen (Hydrolyzed/Extract): Ingredient Rationale. Topically applied collagen primarily acts as a humectant and film-former, providing surface hydration and smoothing. Hydrolyzed collagen (smaller peptides) may offer some limited penetration and signaling benefits, but robust evidence for significant dermal collagen synthesis from topical application is less conclusive than for ingredients like retinoids or Vitamin C.
- Overall Firming Claim: Primarily based on Ingredient Rationale (expected effects of PDRN, Collagen) and potentially Brand Testing (details not publicly disclosed). Independent clinical studies on this specific formulation are lacking in easily accessible databases.
Value, Cost-per-Use & Reorder Cadence (how long it lasts)
- Size: 80ml jar.
- Estimated Uses per Jar: Approx. 50-60 uses (assuming ~1.5ml per application).
- Duration at 3x/week use: Should last approximately 16-20 weeks (about 4-5 months).
- Duration at nightly use: Should last approximately 7-8 weeks (about 2 months).
- Cost-per-Use Estimate: (Divide product price by estimated uses). Provides good value considering the volume and typical frequency of use for a sleeping mask.
- Reorder Cue: Consider reordering when you have about 1/4 of the jar remaining, especially factoring in shipping times.

Frequently Asked Questions (your questions, answered)
- Is this mask suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?
- It has a jelly texture which is lighter than many creams. However, as an overnight mask, it is designed to be somewhat occlusive. Oily types should use a thinner layer or less frequently (1-2x/week) and monitor for congestion. PDRN itself can be beneficial for healing. Patch testing is recommended.
- What is PDRN and where does it come from?
- PDRN (Polydeoxyribonucleotide) are DNA fragments known for promoting tissue repair. In cosmetics, it's often derived from salmon milt (sperm DNA), processed for purity and safety. It's considered a permissible ingredient in Halal-conscious skincare if sourced from fish.
- Can I use this every night?
- You can, especially if your skin is very dry or recovering. However, most people find using a sleeping mask 2-3 times per week provides sufficient benefits without potential overuse or richness.
- Does it wash off easily in the morning?
- Yes, jelly-type sleeping masks typically rinse off cleanly with water or a gentle morning cleanser, leaving skin feeling soft and hydrated.
