5 Korean Sheet Masks Going Viral in the US Right Now

5 Korean Sheet Masks Going Viral in the US Right Now

Sometimes my skin just needs a little more than my usual skincare routine, and that's when I reach for a sheet mask. Korean sheet masks have so many different formulas now — collagen, PDRN, rice, hyaluronic acid — that picking one can honestly be harder than it sounds. Some give you a quick hit of hydration, some are all about that glass-skin glow everyone keeps talking about, and some are chasing collagen or PDRN specifically. It's a lot to sort through, so I narrowed it down to five that stood out to me if you're after that fresh, hydrated, glowing look.

medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask


If you've been anywhere near TikTok, you've seen the pink medicube packaging everywhere — there's no escaping it at this point. What makes this one interesting is that it combines two of the biggest K-beauty trends right now, PDRN and collagen, in one product. The gel texture sets it apart from your typical sheet mask too; it feels more like a treatment than a quick fix. I'd save this one for a proper self-care night when you want something a bit more indulgent than the usual routine.

MEDIHEAL Collagen Essential Mask



MEDIHEAL has been around forever, but its masks are still everywhere in the US, and honestly, I get why. This is the one I reach for when my skin's feeling dry or just looking tired — nothing fancy about it, you put it on, relax for 15 to 20 minutes, and your skin feels noticeably more plump and hydrated by the time you take it off. It's also seeing a bit of a resurgence lately as an easy, budget-friendly way to get that dewy look without much effort.

ANUA Rice 70 Glow Collagen Mask



ANUA is one of those Korean brands American shoppers seem to know almost instantly now. If bright, glowy skin is what you're after, this one's worth a look — it pairs rice ingredients with collagen for a mask that leans into hydration and a healthy glow rather than anything too active or complicated. Rice-based skincare has always had a following in Korea, and I think it works especially well if you don't want to overthink your routine. Sometimes you just want to slap on a mask while watching TV and wake up looking a little more refreshed, and this is that mask.

ANUA PDRN Hyaluronic Acid Capsule 100 Serum Mask




If PDRN interests you but you don't want another heavy, multi-step product, this one's a good middle ground. ANUA pairs PDRN with hyaluronic acid here, keeping the focus squarely on hydration and that bouncy, dewy look. PDRN has become one of the biggest buzzwords in K-beauty over here lately, so I wouldn't bet against seeing a lot more of it on shelves soon. This is the one I reach for when my skin's feeling dehydrated and needs a bit of extra attention.

Biodance Bio-Collagen Real Deep Mask



No list of viral Korean masks is complete without Biodance — it's probably the most recognizable hydrogel mask in the US right now. What sets it apart from a regular sheet mask is the hydrogel texture, designed to stay on longer than a typical mask, and it's one of those products that really shows you why K-beauty has so much staying power. If you're into viral TikTok beauty finds, chances are this one's already on your radar.

So, Which One Should You Try?

You really don't need all five. If you want the PDRN-plus-collagen trend everyone's chasing, go with medicube. If you want something affordable and no-fuss, start with MEDIHEAL. If you're mainly after glowing, hydrated skin, ANUA Rice 70 is a fun pick. And if you want the viral hydrogel mask everyone already knows, Biodance is the easiest place to start.

The nice thing about sheet masks is you don't need to overhaul your whole routine for them — adding one in once or twice a week is usually enough to make things feel a little more special.

Korean sheet masks have come a long way from the basic ones we all started with. Now there's collagen, PDRN, hyaluronic acid, rice, hydrogel textures, masks designed to stay on longer — there's a lot more going on than there used to be. If you're looking for something new to add to your K-beauty list, these five are worth checking out.

My pick? I'd probably reach for the medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Gel Mask next.
