Face Masks & Treatments
Boost Your Routine with Face Masks
Face masks are occasional treatment steps designed to deliver targeted benefits, whether that is extra hydration, soothing care, or help with excess oil and congestion. At ARC, this collection focuses on true mask formats such as wash-off, sheet, and overnight masks, while also including targeted treatments like pimple patches as an extension of masking for specific concerns.
Clay, Cream, Sheet, and Overnight — Which Mask Type to Choose
Different mask formats suit different needs. Clay masks are typically used to help absorb excess oil and clear the look of clogged pores, while cream masks focus more on hydration and comfort. Sheet masks are soaked in serum for a quick boost of moisture, and overnight masks are designed to be left on as the final step of your evening routine. Targeted formats like pimple patches act as a focused extension of masking, helping to protect and treat individual blemishes. COSRX is well known for both overnight masks, like the Ultimate Nourishing Rice Overnight Spa Mask, and targeted solutions like the Acne Pimple Master Patch.
How Often to Mask for Best Results
How often you use a mask depends on the type of formula and what your skin needs. Hydrating and overnight masks can often be used more regularly, while clay or exfoliating masks are usually better used less often depending on your skin type and tolerance. Targeted treatments like pimple patches can be used as needed when blemishes appear. The best approach is to follow product directions and choose based on your current skin concern, whether that is dryness, dullness, or congestion. Brands like COSRX, Some By Mi, and Fenty Skin offer a range of options across both full-face and targeted treatments.
