This overnight mask took over TikTok as the sheet mask you wear while you sleep, although dermatologists and the brand both say you can remove it after three to four hours, after the hydrogel turns from white to clear. Claire Chang, MD, a board-certified dermatologist at UnionDerm in New York City, says the ingredients (hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and galactomyces ferment filtrate) are great for “deep hydration” and to “help repair the skin, brighten, and calm.” Collagen also helps moisturize, says Ethan Wonuk Hwang, MD, a cosmetic physician at Cheongdam LeBelle Dermatologic Clinic in Seoul. Grab this when your skin’s dehydrated or getting rough.
