It’s no secret that overnight face masks are a great way to target prevalent skin concerns. With the right overnight treatment, you can increase your skin’s moisture, heal your skin barrier, target blemishes, even skin tone and texture, or calm down stressed out skin—all without having to lift a finger. Just get your beauty sleep!
Whether you’ve been fighting breakouts, are looking to smooth fine lines, or are on the lookout for a moisturizing night cream, we’ve got all the beauty products worthy of adding to your skincare routine. Scroll on for our top editor picks and Ipster faves from past Glam Bags.
1. The Skin Reset:
LANEIGE Cica Sleeping Mask
If you have sensitive skin, this overnight treatment is for you! Often, sensitive skin is no stranger to dryness or a compromised barrier. Try this face mask that is rich in cica for intense moisture, and to reduce redness. You’ll be amazed at how your skin looks when you wake up—hello hydrated and repaired skin. If you love this product, you might be drawn to the LANEIGE Water Sleeping Mask, too.
2. The Post-Sun Treatment:
COSRX Propolis Honey Overnight Mask
This overnight gel mask instantly refreshes skin. If you’ve recently spent too much time in the sun and have a sunburn, this is such an amazing mask to provide relief. Propolis extract from honey is a natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory ingredient that can soothe stressed out skin, replenish depleted moisture, and combat redness. This product is actually a three-in-one that, in addition to an overnight mask, can be used as a cream or a wash-off mask.
3. The Drugstore Favorite:
OLAY Overnight Gel Face Mask
This product is rich in niacinamide, vitamin E, and vitamin b5. It’s a night mask with a gel-like texture that helps even your skin tone overtime while helping to retain moisture. You’ll notice yourself waking up with that healthy, dewy, and glowing skin that is so sought after. You won’t regret scooping up this must-have budget friendly product during your next visit to the drugstore.
4. The Multitasking Exfoliating Mask:
COCOKIND Resurfacing Sleep Mask
What doesn’t this face mask do? Not only is it packed with antioxidants, it gently exfoliates and improves skin texture. It uses plant-derived bakuchiol (like a gentle retinol) to help improve skin tone and texture. Overtime, it can also help the appearance of dark spots, fine lines, and wrinkles. Beta-glucan intensely hydrates and calms inflammation so you can wake up looking more refreshed than ever.
5. The Trusted Collagen Protector:
PCA SKIN Hyaluronic Acid Overnight Face Mask
This face mask uses a botanical blend, niacinamide, sodium hyaluronate, and panthenol to soothe and hydrate skin overnight. It helps boost collagen with the help of peptides and plumps the skin full of hyaluronic acid. You’ll wake up with supple and bouncy yet firm skin.
6. The Hydro Boost:
NEUTROGENA Hydro Boost Hydrating Overnight Mask
You’ll have to scour the shelves of your local drugstore for this popular mask, as it’s hard to keep on the shelves before selling out. It’s a must try mask that’s often recommended by dermatologists. Made with hyaluronic acid and glycerin, the mask feels like a cold gel once spread across skin, with a cooling effect. Reach for this mask when your skin is sun-stressed, or when you’re healing irritated blemishes, or in need of a skin reset.
7. The K-Beauty Favorite:
JEJU:EN Sleeping Mask Aloe Gel & Hylauronic Acid
When your bank account says an international beach vacation is out of the budget, fake one with an aloe vera gel overnight face mask full of tropical island ingredients. Sprinkle some of the Jeju Island mineral waters on your skin and you’ll be dreaming of sunsets, beachside margaritas, and super moisturized skin. Ipsters say this K-beauty sleep mask leaves their face “so fresh!” and makes their skin feel “extra hydrated” in the morning.
8. The Antioxidant Treatment:
GLOW RECIPE Watermelon Glow Sleeping Mask
Millennial pink gets a fruity update with a hyaluronic acid punch in this ultra-popular face mask. Made with real pieces of watermelon and watermelon extract, the active ingredients in this summery mask help reduce the appearance of pores and smooth out sensitive skin. Nix dry skin and say hello to glowing skin in just a few wears. Ipsters loved it, writing "Love this sleep mask, makes my face feel so fresh and soft!" And Ipster @phranne wrote in a five-star review: "WOW. At first I thought it felt weird and dried fast (comfortably). Like a gel that disappears into your skin. The next morning my skin feels like a baby's bottom, and looks fresher. Recommend!"
9. The Pore Tightening Mask:
BRTC Vitalizer Sleeping Mask & Pore Tightening Sleeping Mask Set
Gone are the days of chalky vitamins in weird flavors. Now you can sneak vitamins into your skincare routine with the help of this pore-tightening mask. It’s packing all your favorite ingredients like coffee, green tea, and grape extracts, so it’s no surprise that this bomb beauty product has Ipsters raving. “This was a great way to hydrate my skin,” and “my skin feels so amazing after just one night” are just some of the glowing reviews.
10. The Softening Mask:
SOROCI Lycomato Super Restorative Sleeping Mask
We love a mask that can multitask as hard as we can. While you’re catching up on those Z’s, this mask is hard at work, hydrating and softening your skin. If you’ve got oily skin, snag one of these, as the shea butter and lycopene double team to deliver maximum moisture with minimal greasiness. It’s so lightweight and effective, you can even use it as a daytime moisturizer for super soft skin. As one Ipster wrote, "I love a mask I don’t have to stay awake with. Lol....Not greasy and skin was smooth in the morning."
11. The Vitamin C Mask:
SOO'AE Donkey Milk Sleeping Mask
Just when you thought you’d tried all the milk substitutes, along comes donkey milk to blow oat, macadamia, and almond milks out of the water. It might sound weird, but over 65k Ipsters can't be wrong about this dull skin-fighting product: “I’ve never used a mask that leaves my skin so soft!” and “Perfect for winter burn face!” Trust us, you’ll want to try this Vitamin C-packed overnight mask. It’s super absorbent, so your sheets stay clean while your skin benefits from the added nutrients and plant extracts specially formulated to target acne and psoriasis.
12. The Perfect Makeup Prep:
BRTC Jasmine Waterful Sleeping Mask
Let the sweet scent of jasmine lull you to sleep while the flower complex gives your skin a mini makeover. Slather on this Korean night cream before bed for an extra burst of moisture and glowiness, and you’ll be waking up feeling refreshed and hydrated. The scented formula is safe enough for all skin tones, including sensitive skin. Ipsters wrote that it’s “so soothing and smells so good!”
13. The Cult-Followed:
BELIF Aqua Bomb Sleeping Mask
BELIF Aqua Bomb is one of our holy grail K-beauty moisturizers, so of course, we’re snapping up their ultraluxe sleeping mask. It’s a blue jelly mask that looks like melted Jell-O (seriously!) but goes on oh-so-smoothly. Winter woes will have you turning to this mineral oil and dye-free formula packed with lady’s mantle. Apply onto your skin after your favorite nighttime moisturizer and be ready for glowing skin come morning.
14. The Nourishing Glow Treatment:
PIXI BY PETRA Nourishing Sleep Mask
If you can’t let go of your nighttime serums, then this hyaluronic acid-fueled lightweight mask is the perfect addition to your skincare lineup. It’s fortified with rose geranium oil for toning your skin, while the macadamia seed oil softens your dry, acne-prone skin. Apply a thin layer over your favorite serum to seal in its properties and reap the skin-brightening benefits the next day!
15. The Skip-The-Caffeine Mask:
MUDMASKY Sleep Repair Renewal Nourishing Mask
Whether you’re plane-hopping for vacation fun or your work schedule has your passport getting a workout, your skin needs a stabilizing salve that keeps under eye circles and dark spots at bay. This pH-balanced face mask was made for all skin types looking for a burst of energy, but especially those with acne-prone skin. Don’t let dry airplane air or humid temps ruin another vacation selfie by adding this wonderous mask to your skincare routine.
16. The Sleepover Mask:
SOO'AE Unicorn Glow Sleeping Mask
You might not have the shimmery glitter mane of a unicorn, but there’s no reason you can’t have glowing unicorn skin. Apply this shimmery purple hydrating mask to your face after your favorite cleanser and let the glycerin replenish the moisture in your skin. Bonus: it’s also the best face mask for appeasing your inner 6-year-old. Bring this along to your next sleepover to have some fun.
