P.CALM P.CALM Retinol Collagen Overnight Gel Mask
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-22
What is this product?
A low strength overnight gel mask whose headline actives, retinol at 0.001% and hydrolyzed collagen at 50,000ppb, are printed at real concentrations, making it a gentle entry point for nightly retinol use rather than a strong anti-aging treatment.
What makes it different?
The formula prints exact amounts for its two headline actives, retinol 0.001% at eighth position and hydrolyzed collagen 50,000ppb at ninth, which many masks do not do. Niacinamide sits fifth, giving it a firm supporting role behind water, glycerin and dipropylene glycol. The base is a gum and gel network, carob gum, irish moss, xanthan gum and agar, so it functions as a leave-on gel film for overnight use. The list omits fragrance, essential oils and drying alcohol, which favors sensitive skin, and the retinol level is low enough that beginners are unlikely to see irritation, though visible retinol results will be limited too.
