Mask & Relax: 5 Top Skincare Face Masks for 2025

Kicking back and masking offers a slew of benefits, from self-care to skin improvement. Aside from giving you an excuse for five to 20 minutes (on average) of relaxation, they provide a concentrated dose of active ingredients that can target various concerns. Whether you struggle with dehydrated skin, clogged pores, fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, blemishes or a combination of a few, we have a targeted face mask (or two) just for you.

While each is powerful as-is, Perricone MD Director of Education, Rosalba Martone, shares practical tips to maximize their instant and long-lasting benefits for an always soft, hydrated and healthy complexion.

TO REPLENISH & CONDITION DEHYDRATED SKIN WITH AN INSTANT BOOST OF ESSENTIAL MOISTURE, TRY:

High Potency Hyaluronic Intensive Hydrating Mask 

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “This mask is amazing to use after sun or wind exposure to infuse hydration and radiance into dull, dehydrated skin. An absolute summer staple!” 

For a surge of instant and long-lasting hydration, this rich and nourishing cream mask is the immediate replenishment your skin will drink up. An exclusive technology with 4 forms and 2 natural building blocks of hyaluronic acid (HA) makes it unique as it features a mix of molecular weights of HA so it can be effectively absorbed into different layers of the skin. Working in tandem with DMAE to firm skin over time and shea butter for extra moisturization, you’ll notice firmer, smoother-looking skin with continued use.

TO PURIFY & REFINE THE APPEARANCE OF PORES, LINES & WRINKLES, TRY:

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “Use this mask all over your face for a detox or as a spot treatment for areas that are prone to breakouts, excess oil or congestion.”

This intensely purifying mask is fuelled by nutrient-dense chlorophyll microcapsules that burst upon application. In doing so, they help draw out and absorb toxins, dirt and oil to rebalance oil-prone skin and minimize the appearance of pores, fine lines and wrinkles. Meanwhile, papaya enzyme gently exfoliates surface cells to visibly smooth and brighten as a copper complex delivers powerful skin-strengthening hydration to visibly improve skin firmness and elasticity.

TO DELIVER POWERFUL COOLING HYDRATION WHILE VISIBLY SMOOTHING & FIRMING, TRY:

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “Bring this mask slightly up under the eyes to instantly reinvigorate skin and brighten tired-looking eyes.”

Cooling hydration is the name of this luxurious mask’s game, but it does so much more. Beyond the moisture, it smooths and firms. To do so, it’s formulated with peptides to combat visible collagen depletion, phospholipids for enhanced delivery and barrier protection and omegas 3, 6 and 9 to plump and protect skin’s moisture barrier. Plus, it uses a proprietary liquid crystal delivery system for faster and effective absorption.

TO REDUCE THE LOOK OF DULLNESS, UNEVEN TEXTURE, DISCOLORATION & LOSS OF FIRMNESS, TRY:

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “Use this mask once a day for 6 consecutive days prior to a special occasion for instant dramatic results. When removing the mask, don't rinse the excess product off, instead, massage the remainder into the skin.” 

Powered by a concentrated dose of proven and potent Cold Plasma Plus+ sciences, this innovative 2-piece sheet mask promotes the most visible signs of healthy, youthful-looking skin faster than ever before. Brightening Vitamin C Ester, rejuvenating copper tripeptide and restorative phospholipids work together to reduce dullness, uneven texture, uneven tone, discoloration and loss of firmness. It leaves skin feeling immediately renewed and rejuvenated.

TO INSTANTLY DETOXIFY, SOOTHE & BALANCE BLEMISH-PRONE SKIN, TRY:

Rosalba’s Recommendation: “This mask is not only amazing for when you get an acne flare up, but it also helps prevent these flare-ups when used 1x per week for maintenance. It's also an incredible mask for those without acne but who are prone to excess oil or clogged pores to keep their skin clear and shine-free without stripping it dry.”

Maximum-strength salicylic acid, bentonite clay, lactobacillus ferment and willowherb extract unite in this clarifying clay mask as breakout-prone skin’s worst nightmare. It gently exfoliates, unclogs pores, removes impurities, absorbs excess oil and fights acne-causing bacteria all while soothing skin and reducing redness. The result is visibly calmer, more refined skin after each use and clear, balanced and radiant skin over time.
