Martha Stewart's top-rated collagen face mask has dropped to its lowest price on Amazon at £14.99. The Mario Badescu Super Collagen Mask, a favourite of the 85-year-old lifestyle expert, is designed to smooth and brighten the skin, making it a popular choice for those with mature complexions.
Martha Stewart's Skincare Pick
In 2023, Stewart revealed 15 products she "can't live without" to the editors at MarthaStewart.com, and the Super Collagen Mask was among her top picks. She noted that she has been getting facials from Mario Badescu in New York for years, highlighting her long-standing trust in the brand.
The mask is formulated for combination, dry, and sensitive skin, with ingredients like soothing oatmeal to help reduce redness and irritation. It is said to tighten and firm the skin, cleanse pores, and avoid an overly dry feeling—benefits that appeal to mature skin, which tends to become drier and more prone to dehydration and dullness.
Shopper Reviews and Alternatives
The product has attracted thousands of ratings on Amazon. One reviewer wrote: "Good mask and excellent value for money. It smooths the skin and gives a fresher appearance." Another added: "A gentle clay mask that will not leave your skin red and depleted, it has a hydrating quality that makes it nice on the skin. Better than a harsh charcoal mask, and cleans clogged pores. Also good value, it will last a month or more if used once a week."
A mature shopper shared: "I love this product. It seems to tighten up my wrinkles, and give me a younger look." Another said: "First off, I’m 50 with years of religiously studied and tailored skincare routines and my personal esthetician background experience. I have used this mask once a week so far and decided to add maybe a quarter of a pea-sized spot of this into my skincare cream for the daytime and have watched my forehead creases that bother me become less prominent and softer."
However, not all feedback was glowing. A three-star reviewer noted: "It definitely did help clean my skin and keep the moisture in, but I don't think this is something that I would use often, just for the fear of clogging my pores when I have to wash off the mask afterwards. It also doesn't really have an extra plasticky piece to seal in the moisture, so I've been noticing that the mask has started to dry out in the jar."
For those seeking alternatives, the No7 Good Intent Bouncy Jelly Mask (£14.95 at Boots) offers a comforting, pillowy softness, while the BYOMA Bio-Collagen Radiance Facial Mask (£16.99 at Cult Beauty) uses Tri-Ceramides to boost the skin barrier without causing breakouts.
