If dark spots and hyperpigmentation are preventing you from achieving your brightest, most glowy complexion, you need the Abib Dark Spot Collagen Wrapping Mask in your routine.

Slather it on 2-3 times a week to get your glow back.

Just because your PDRN is vegan, it doesn’t mean it’s any less effective. Add the mixsoon PDRN Collagen Gel Cleanser to your cleansing routine to let its Rice-based PDRN and low molecular Collagen work their magic, fortifying the skin barrier and enhancing skin elasticity with every wash. The soft gel turns into a creamy foam when lathered up but unlike cleansers of a similar texture, it maintains a healthy level of hydration rather than stripping the skin.
