Best Overall

Oily skin and pop-up acne are the ultimate inconvenience, so Boscia's peel-off mask takes care of affected complexions quickly. Made from activated charcoal, calcium montmorillonite clay, vitamin C, and honeysuckle extract, the luminizing treatment should be applied in thick, generous doses. 

Avoiding the eye area, brows, hairline, and lips, let the opaque layer set for 30 minutes before gently peeling it off, and follow it up with a quick, warm rinse to wash off any residue.

Doesn't Disco Kitten just sound fun? Add on the fact that this was formulated using diamond powder, and we're absolutely sold on this peel-off mask. Twenty minutes is all you need to pamper your skin with powerful ingredients like pearl powder, which gently exfoliates skin to brighten the complexion. 

The star ingredient, diamond powder, boosts elasticity and removes impurities to illuminate lackluster skin. It also features a complex of lily, jasmine, orange flower, elder flower, and magnolia to replenish moisture in the skin and improve overall softness.

GlamGlow's new My Little Pony peel-off mask is an Insta-selfie waiting to happen. The fun colored putty has us reminiscing about our childhood days when lines and wrinkles weren't an issue, and we're here for it! Apply a generous layer of product evenly over cleansed skin and let it set for 20 to 30 minutes. Once the treatment has dried completely, peel off from the edges and rinse off any excess with warm water. 

The collective efforts of a Vizitight complex featuring marine algae plasma, Lunarlift technology, and the brand's patented Teaoxi Complex result in a youthful, firmer complexion.

Now 36% Off

First Aid Beauty's doing things a little differently. Rather than sticking to the usual method (apply, dry, then rinse), this clay mask peels right off after 20 minutes of wear. Red clay melts into skin and dissolves impurities, while rosemary leaf oil unclogs infected pores. The brand's patented FAB Antioxidant Booster is made from licorice root, feverfew, and white tea, and it takes care of free radicals, which helps with acne to leave you with a glowing complexion.
