Is this $75 collagen mask actually worth the hype? 10 women share their verdict.

There's nothing a girl wants more than an effortless, radiant glow.

You know that fresh, well-rested look — the kind that makes it seem like you've never touched coffee or spent hours doom-scrolling through TikTok at 2am? Yeah, that. But let's be honest, a 12-step skincare routine? Not exactly realistic.

Skincare that works while you sleep, though? Now that's the dream. And luckily, Dr LeWinn's new Collagen Surge range is here to make it happen — no extra effort required.

During the day, the Collagen Surge Plumping Gel does the heavy lifting, helping to deeply hydrate and support skin elasticity. But it's their Ultra R4 Collagen Surge Overnight Sleep Mask ($75) that's really caught our well-trained beauty eye (we're Leigh Campbell devotees, duh).

This isn't your average overnight mask. With an innovative dual-delivery system, it's packed with collagen peptides to visibly plump and smooth skin, Dawnergy (which acts like a cellular alarm clock) to boost morning radiance and Synchrolife to work with your skin's natural circadian rhythm.

It even includes DreamScentz technology — a scientifically tested sleep fragrance designed to help improve the quality of your beauty sleep.

The idea of waking up to revitalised, glowing skin (regardless of how many episodes of Real Housewives you binged the night before) sounds pretty dreamy.

But does it actually work? We rounded up 27 women aged 35-44 from our You Beauty Panel to trial it for four weeks.

The results? Let's just say the numbers don't lie — 96 per cent reported more hydrated skin, 77 per cent noticed increased radiance and 70 per cent said they'd purchase it again.

Now, for their reviews — here's what happened when real women put it to the test...

"After having a baby and finishing up breastfeeding, this was my reintroduction to a nightly skincare routine. I found it had an immediate glowy and plumping effect. My skin looks fresher and more radiant around my eyes, mouth and chin. I will continue using this product as I can see the great results and it's worked well over my other serums." — Claire, 37.

"Really good! It's a nice consistency to apply to my face, it smells nice and my skin looked brighter, clearer and more hydrated using this product. It soaks into the skin really nicely. Overall, I'd say this product has definitely improved my skin's appearance and texture." — Amy, 36.

"Delightful! It was so juicy and felt so luxurious to apply." — Stephanie L, 37.

"My overall experience was really nice — I liked using it, it was easy to apply and it made my skin glowy!" — Dani, 35.

"The two-part formula is shimmery on one side and clear on the other. The mixture glides onto the skin smoothly and made my skin instantly more radiant and hydrated (a big win as most products leave my dehydrated skin feeling tight and dry). The scent is subtle and calming which is lovely before bedtime. I don't see a difference in fine lines yet but I will continue using it in the hope it just needs more time!" — Alyssa, 36.

"Dr LeWinn's Collagen Surge Overnight Sleep Mask is a game-changer for my dry, dull skin. It feels luxurious and hydrating, sinking in quickly without feeling heavy. In the morning my skin looks plump, smooth and refreshed. A great overnight treatment for anyone looking to boost skin hydration and radiance. Highly recommend!" — Annie, 42.

"I have really enjoyed using this product. It has slotted nicely into my routine. I have been using it as per instructions (three times per week) but it is the kind of product I would just generally like to have on hand for when my skin feels dry or dehydrated.

"As this is the last step in your routine you can just pop it in at the end and not have to alter anything else when feeling dry. My skin felt a little tacky after application but not uncomfortable. I found I woke up to skin that looked refreshed and felt softer. I still have more than half a bottle left after four weeks of use, so that's a plus too." — Rochelle, 37.

"Great! My skin felt hydrated, radiant and firmer." — Louise, 35.

"I enjoyed it. It was hydrating and I felt like I was glowing in the morning." — Stephanie M, 38.

"Loved this product." — Kirsty, 38.
