REJURAN's clinical reputation in Korea is real. The brand built its name on injectable polynucleotide treatments that dermatologists use for skin recovery and elasticity, and the in-clinic REJURAN Healer treatment has a serious following among Korean derm patients who want bio-regenerative effects without traditional fillers. The REJURAN Ampoule Infused Lifting Mask is the at-home, non-clinical version of that brand promise, and at this price tier, I wanted to test whether the promise holds up when you take the patented technology out of the syringe and put it into a sheet mask.
Quick verdict in two sentences: this is a premium-tier hydrogel mask that delivers genuine immediate plumping and a noticeable firming feel that lasts a few days per use, with cumulative results over weeks of weekly application. The price is high per mask, the format is more involved than a regular sheet mask, and casual users may not see enough difference to justify the cost. Serious skincare users with mature skin will probably love it.
What It Claims
REJURAN positions this as an at-home lifting and firming hydrogel mask infused with their patented c-PDRN complex and a Waterfalling Complex of humectants. The pitch is targeted lifting action, pore tightening, elasticity improvement, and wrinkle smoothing through a generous 28g ampoule essence per mask, applied in two pieces (upper and lower face). They emphasize the in-clinic heritage of the c-PDRN technology to position this as the at-home extension of professional treatment.
In plain English: it is a hydrogel mask soaked in a more concentrated essence than the average sheet mask, with the brand's signature PDRN-derived hero ingredient. The marketing leans heavily on the clinical brand association, which is partly justified and partly aspirational.
Key Ingredients
- c-PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide complex): The brand's signature ingredient. PDRN is a fragment-based molecule derived from salmon DNA that signals skin cells to repair and regenerate. In injectable form it has strong clinical evidence for skin recovery and elasticity. In topical form the effects are gentler but supportive of barrier function and elasticity. The molecular size of PDRN is too large to deeply penetrate intact skin, so topical results are more surface-level than the injectable version.
- Adenosine: A wrinkle-smoothing active recognized by Korean regulators for anti-aging claims. Improves the appearance of fine lines through cellular signaling and supports the firming effect.
- Niacinamide: The brightening and barrier-supporting workhorse, present in supporting amounts. Adds a tone-evening benefit alongside the primary firming goal.
- Hydrolyzed DNA, sodium hyaluronate, panthenol: The humectant trio that delivers immediate plumping and longer-term hydration. The hydrolyzed DNA contributes to the firming sensation and helps with the gel adhesion.
- Irish moss powder and carob gum: Natural thickeners that contribute to the hydrogel texture and help the mask cling to the face during the 20-minute wear time.
- Allantoin and betaine: Supporting calming ingredients that smooth and soften the skin during the wear time.
My Honest Take After Testing
The flaw to lead with: the price per mask is significant. Four masks per box at this tier means each application is a meaningful spend. If you are mask-snacking through five sheet masks a week from cheaper brands, this is not for you. This is a special-occasion or weekly-treat product, and treating it like a daily mask will burn through your budget quickly. I caught myself rationing them, which is not how I want to use a skincare product.
Second flaw: the two-piece hydrogel format is fussy. You separate the upper and lower face pieces, position them carefully, and let them sit for at least twenty minutes. The hydrogel can slip if you talk or move much. Lying down with no distractions is the correct mode, which is fine for me but might be unrealistic for users who like to mask while doing other things.
Now the strengths. The immediate plumping is the most noticeable I have experienced from any at-home mask. After the first use, my cheeks looked visibly firmer and my under-eye area looked smoother and more reflective for about two days. The hydrogel itself is dense and saturated, so you actually feel like you are doing something premium when you apply it. The leftover essence is enough to massage into your neck and chest, and I always did this because wasting that much expensive essence felt wrong.
Over four weeks of weekly use (one mask per week), I noticed the firming effect compounding slightly. Not a face-lift, but a real "my skin looks more lifted in photos" effect. The cumulative benefit is subtle but visible if you take a side-by-side photo at the start and the end of a four-week stretch.
One honest detail about the c-PDRN: the topical version cannot match the clinical injectable version. The molecules are too large to penetrate deeply enough for the regenerative effects you get from in-clinic Healer treatments. The mask delivers a surface-level version of the brand promise, not the full clinical experience. Calibrate expectations accordingly.
Who Should Buy and Who Should Skip
- Mature skin wanting at-home firming treatments: Buy.
- Special-occasion prep (events, photos, weddings): Buy. Use the night before for maximum effect.
- Skincare maximalists with budget: Buy.
- Budget shoppers: Skip. The SKIN1004 Tone Brightening Glow Mask is far more affordable per use.
- Daily-mask users: Skip. This is not the format for that habit.
- Existing REJURAN Healer in-clinic patients: Buy. The mask serves as an at-home maintenance step between clinical sessions.
- Anyone with a salmon DNA allergy: Skip. PDRN is salmon-derived.
Common Complaints
- Expensive per mask. Real. The price reflects the brand and the c-PDRN positioning.
- Hydrogel slips on the face. Common feedback. Stay still and lie down for the full duration.
- Results are subtle rather than dramatic. Honest assessment. At-home PDRN is not equivalent to clinical injections.
- Sticky residue at the end. Some users find the leftover essence too sticky. I rather like the residual film, but it is a sensory preference issue.
How It Compares
Against the SKIN1004 Tone Brightening Glow Mask, SKIN1004 is the daily-driver brightening sheet at a fraction of the price. REJURAN is the firming-and-lifting splurge for special use.
Against the Anua Heartleaf 70 Soothing Collagen Mask, Anua is calming-focused while REJURAN is firming-focused. Different jobs, both well-executed at their price tiers.
For ongoing daily firming support, layering the TIRTIR Ceramic Cream with the REJURAN mask once a week creates a sustained firming routine without the cost of multiple premium masks.

Final Verdict
This is a premium at-home lifting mask that earns its price for special-occasion firming and steady weekly use. The cost-per-mask is the main hurdle and the format is fussier than a regular sheet, but the results are genuine. Pair with daily brightening from the Anua Niacinamide TXA Toner and a barrier-strong moisturizer like the TIRTIR Ceramic Cream to maximize the firming carryover between mask uses.
