Instead of a quick 10- to 15-minute treatment, this Korean skin care formula is designed to be the last step of your nighttime routine. As it dries, it forms a thin film that helps seal in your serums and moisturizers while you sleep.

Our BestReviews executive editor tested it and noticed a key difference compared to typical peel-off formulas. "Unlike other peel off masks, it’s actually comfortable to sleep in because it completely dries and doesn’t feel like it’s cracking," she said. "It’s also unlike sheet masks, which can slide off, getting skin care all over your pillows. The biggest benefit of this mask is that it locks in your other products and delivers great hydration by morning. You’ll wake up with really soft, hydrated skin."

Peel-off masks have long been popular in Korean skin care for their ability to help remove buildup while delivering targeted ingredients like collagen or hydrating formulas. Here are a few other peel-off masks worth considering if you’re curious about the trend.
