Our verdict

Closer than the star ratings suggest. The Color-Changing Jelly Mask Set gives you eight masks in two types, four salmon DNA PDRN pink and four kojic acid turmeric gold, and scores 4.8/5, but from only 159 reviews. The Pink Vitamin Coated Sheet Mask is ten sheets at 4.6/5 from around 1,100 reviewers, so the lower number is the better evidenced one. Both target brightening, glow and firmness for dry, combination and normal skin, and both sit in the same price tier. The tie-breaker is tolerance: the sheet mask is flagged as gentle enough for regular use on most skin types, while the jelly set is not, so reactive skin should patch test that one first. Buy the sheet mask if you want something you can reach for often without thinking about it. Buy the jelly set if you enjoy the ritual and want two formulas to alternate between.
