Amorepacific has been a trusted name in skincare for decades, and its sheet mask is one of the best you’ll ever try. Infused with white peony and the brand’s signature green tea, it’s an antioxidant-rich treat for your skin (plus, it comes in two pieces, so you always have a perfect fit).
The gorgeous teal color is an instant draw, but it’s this mask’s acne-fighting and pore-unclogging powers that will win you over. With 10% AHA and 0.5% BHA, it’s powerful against breakouts and excess oil, but hydrating ingredients ensure it won’t dry out or irritate skin.

Belif Aqua Bomb Sleeping Mask
Now 40% Off
Belif's Aqua Bomb moisturizer is a best-seller and fan favorite, so it makes sense that a sleeping mask version—richer and even more intensely hydrating—would make this list.
Mix up one of these fun single-use masks any time you’re in the mood for an instant, at-home facial. Modeled after the rubber masks at Korean spas, the texture starts off a little more like marshmallow fluff than rubber, then dries for that satisfying peel-off factor.

Innisfree ingeniously combined the powers of clay masks and peel-off masks into one mega pore-unclogging formula. Made with actual volcanic lava, it sops up excess sebum, minimizes the appearance of pores, and reveals a glowing, even-looking complexion after each use.
