I Take Beauty Sleep Seriously—8 Overnight Masks that Give Me Better Skin By Morning

Size: 1.3 oz | Skin Types: All | Key Ingredients: Thermal spring water, vitamin B5, shea butter, glycerin, copper, zinc, manganese

Size: 1.7 oz | Skin Types: All, especially acne-prone skin | Key Ingredients: Mandelic acid, kojic acid, arnica, maple sap, sodium PCA

If you have acne-prone skin and you're wary of using overnight masks, I get it. I'm not particularly acne-prone, but I've experienced clogged pores and breakouts after testing certain formulas. Rest assured that this one will do everything an overnight mask is supposed to do without exacerbating acne. It contains mandelic and kojic acids, which exfoliate the skin and keep pores clear. It also contains arnica to soothe redness and inflammation. Meanwhile, hydrating ingredients plump, soothe, and level up the skin overnight.

Customer review: "I literally use this every night!! It's sooo hydrating and gentle!! I have sensitive skin and this helps soo much!! literally glowy hydrated skin overnight! I apply over my moisturizer!"

Size: 3.4 oz | Skin Types: All, especially dry skin | Key Ingredients: Squalane, glacial glyco-proteins

This is an incredible no-frills overnight mask for dry skin types because it's fragrance-free and contains 10% squalane and glacial glyco-proteins to lock in moisture and strengthen the natural skin barrier up to 72 hours. It's similar to the brand's Ultra Facial Moisturizing Cream ($39), which happens to be one of my favorite moisturizers. 

Customer review: "I don’t normally write reviews but this stuff is amazing! I hope they never change the formula! I was having an intense reaction to retinol and my skin barrier was peeling immensely, this product (along with others) in ONE day it was virtually restored. Amazing product!"

Size: 2.02 oz | Skin Types: All, especially sensitive skin | Key Ingredients: Centella asiatica, ectoin, allantoin, niacinamide

If you have sensitive, redness-prone skin, I can't recommend this Korean overnight mask enough (I'm serious, don't walk, run!). It has a hypoallergenic formula that features superstar soothing ingredients like centella asiatica, ectoin, allantoin, and niacinamide to extinguish redness and irritation fast.

Customer review: "I have dry dehydrated skin and sometimes it really acts up feeling red, itchy, and tight. This Cica overnight mask is the perfect cure. I put it on like an hour before bed to give it time to soak in and my skin feels soooo much better the next morning— plump and no more redness!"

Size: 2.37 oz | Skin Types: All, especially dull or discolored skin | Key Ingredients: Yuja, vitamin C, niacinamide

Whether it's dullness, dark spots, or discoloration you're dealing with, this K-beauty mask is your fix. It has a cooling, jelly-like texture, and it features melting capsules that burst on contact with the skin, delivering brightening ingredients like Korean yuja, vitamin C, and niacinamide.

Customer review: "Just tried the Hanyul Yuja Brightening Sleeping Mask, and I totally get the hype now. It’s got that fresh, citrusy scent that instantly makes your nighttime routine feel like a spa moment—nothing overpowering, just the right amount of calming. The texture is a lightweight gel-cream that melts into the skin without any stickiness, which I love because I hate when sleeping masks feel heavy or greasy. After using it for a week, I woke up with skin that looked noticeably more even-toned and hydrated. The star ingredient is Yuja (Korean citron), packed with vitamin C and antioxidants, which explains the subtle glow I noticed in the morning. It also contains niacinamide, which is a win for brightening and smoothing out texture over time. I have combo skin, and this didn’t break me out or clog my pores, which is always a concern with overnight masks."

Size: 3.4 oz | Skin Types: All, especially mature skin| Key Ingredients: Black tea ferment, belle de nuit extract, peptides

The brand describes this as a "corset" for your face, meaning it treats fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of elasticity for a tight, firm-looking complexion. It's thanks to high-tech ingredients like a proprietary black tea ferment complex, belle de nuit extract, peptides, and more. Use it to sculpt and redefine your facial contours as you sleep.

Customer review: "I absolutely love this mask. I have incredibly sensitive skin that is irritated by almost every cream, so I mostly stick to Aveeno, Drunk Elephant, and Fresh. As I've aged (in my mid-40s now), my skin has needed a heavier moisturizer, especially in the winter. I still use Fresh's Rose moisturizer in the Summer, but in the colder months, I've added this as my evening hydration, and when I wake up my skin is supple like it was in my 20's. It's like magic. It also smells so good I have to remind myself not to eat it. Yes, it is a little pricey, but it's as hydrating as the $400 creams like La Mer, Augustinus Bader, Sisley and La Prairie (trust me, I've tried them all) without irritating, so I don't mind. I highly recommend it."

Size: 1.7 oz | Skin Types: All, especially textured skin | Key Ingredients: Niacinamide, beta-glucan, blueberry seed oil

If you have rough skin texture and enlarged pores, or you just want your makeup to look flawless on your skin by morning, I recommend Farmacy's 10% Niacinamide Night Mask. It's clinically proven to refine rough texture and minimize enlarged pores, while hydrating and strengthening the skin. I like to use it before big events like parties or weddings because I know it will give my skin (and subsequently my makeup look) an overnight glow-up.

Customer review: "I have seen results immediately and with consistent use, my pores have shrunk while looking more hydrated. I use it daily, even during spa day times. Gentle, yet effective product. Will buy again and continue to use."

Size: 2.53 oz | Skin Types: All | Key Ingredients: Hyaluronic acid, Scottish heather, lady's mantle

Belif's Aqua Bomb Sleeping Mask is one of my top picks for super plump, supple-looking skin. I love its jelly-pudding texture because it feels so nice and cooling on my skin and instantly makes it look smoother and plumper. I also love its skin-drenching formula that's rich in hyaluronic acid, Scottish heather (an anti-inflammatory herb), and lady's mantle (a moisturizing herb) to douse the skin in plumping moisture.

Customer review: "Anything from this brand is incredible and worth every cent. This didn’t fail me either. I use a prescription retinol and put this over top. It has stopped my face from peeling nonstop and gives me the best glow every single time."
