How this list is built: products are grouped by what they are formulated around and who they suit, drawn from public information. Order is not a ranking of quality and nothing here is paid placement. Formulas change — read the current ingredient list before you buy.
1
Any skin type that is dehydrated, and particularly useful the night before an event or after a flight. Sensitive skin usually tolerates it, though a patch test is still sensible. Oily skin can use it with little risk of congestion. It is a top-up rather than a solution — no weekly mask changes baseline skin.
2
Oily and breakout-prone skin wanting a calming twenty minutes, especially during a bad patch. It suits combination skin in summer. Dry skin will find it thin. It is genuinely not an acne treatment, and using it in place of an evidence-based active — a BHA, or something prescribed — is a poor trade.
3
Reactive or flushed skin, and anyone who has given up on masks because they will not stay put — this one holds well enough to move around in. Oily and combination skin do well with it. Very dry skin may prefer a richer variant from the same range. Not a fix for anything, as with all sheet masks.
4
Dry, tight or travel-worn skin that wants one strong hit of hydration. Normal and combination skin get on with it fine, and sensitive skin usually tolerates it. If you mask several times a week, the cost is hard to justify against a Korean drugstore mask that does most of the same job for a fraction of the money.
5
Skin that is chronically flushed or reactive and responds better to consistent gentle input than to occasional strong input. Oily and breakout-prone skin do well. Dry skin will need a cream over it every single time. If you dislike the ritual of daily masking, a good centella essence delivers the same ingredients with far less packaging.
