Overview

  • The $48 Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap sold out within hours of its July 29 launch, prompting customers to join an active waitlist.
  • SKIMS markets the wrap as using “signature sculpting fabric” and “collagen yarns” to lift and contour the jawline overnight.
  • Board-certified surgeons and dermatologists say the garment functions like post-surgical compression gear and delivers only a fleeting lift that disappears once removed.
  • Medical specialists dismiss “collagen yarns” as marketing jargon since collagen embedded in fabric cannot penetrate the skin.
  • Excessive or prolonged wear may impair circulation, cause facial swelling, irritate skin and provoke jaw discomfort.
