The Science of Sleep Masks: 

Skin repair doesn’t happen during the day—it happens while you sleep. As the body rests, the skin goes into its most active renewal phase. Cell turnover increases, hydration levels fluctuate, and the barrier becomes more permeable, allowing actives to penetrate deeper.

That’s where sleep masks come in. Unlike standard night creams, these masks are designed to seal in moisture, deliver potent actives slowly, and support overnight repair without clogging pores. Lightweight yet intensive, they’re a modern answer to many persistent skincare concerns—pigmentation, fine lines, dryness, uneven tone, and inflammation.

Whether you're looking to target signs of aging, brighten dull skin, or replenish hydration, sleep masks offer results by morning—without disrupting your skin's natural rhythms.

Why Use a Sleep Mask?

A sleep mask is not the same as a moisturizer. It’s a treatment—formulated with a higher concentration of active ingredients, balanced with calming agents and moisture-retainers. Designed for overnight wear, it provides long-acting support as your skin enters its peak regenerative cycle.

Unique Benefits:

• Deeper absorption of ingredients due to relaxed barrier at night
• Prolonged exposure to actives through slow-release formulations
• No sun exposure during use, reducing risk of sensitivity
• Multi-functional formulas to address more than one concern at a time

If you're dealing with pigmentation, early aging, dehydration, or post-acne marks, integrating a well-formulated sleep mask can deliver visible improvements in skin tone, texture, and resilience.

Best selling Peltos products:

1. Retinol Sleep Mask – Overnight Anti-Aging Power

One of the most effective and dermatologist-recommended ingredients in skincare, retinol supports collagen production, smooths fine lines, and fades age-related pigmentation. But daytime use often comes with irritation or sun sensitivity.

That’s why retinol sleep masks are ideal. Formulated with encapsulated or time-release retinol, these masks reduce the risk of peeling while maximizing results.

Key Ingredients You’ll Find:

• Encapsulated Retinol (0.3–0.5%) – Stimulates cell turnover and collagen
• Peptides – Promote skin firming and elasticity
• Panthenol and Niacinamide – Counterbalance retinol's drying effects
• Ceramides – Strengthen skin barrier and reduce irritation

Best For:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Loss of firmness
• Rough, uneven skin texture
• Dullness and early signs of aging

A good retinol sleep mask leaves your skin smoother, firmer, and more even-toned, without the dryness or redness often seen with daily retinol use.

2. Niacinamide Sleep Mask – Brighten and Strengthen

Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, has gained a cult following for its multi-targeted benefits: from reducing acne marks and blotchiness to calming inflammation and minimizing pore visibility.

Niacinamide sleep masks deliver all these benefits in a low-irritation format, ideal for nightly skin restoration.

Why Niacinamide at Night?

At night, skin is better able to:

• Balance oil production
• Repair post-acne pigmentation
• Boost ceramide levels
• Reduce redness from acne or rosacea

Ingredients to Look For:

• Niacinamide (5%) – Regulates sebum, improves tone
• Beta-glucan or Madecassoside – Soothes and hydrates
• Licorice Root Extract – Fades dark spots naturally
• Glycerin and Aloe Vera – Prevent overnight dehydration

Best For:

• Acne-prone skin
• Post-inflammatory pigmentation (PIH)
• Red, blotchy, or uneven skin tone
• Enlarged pores and oily skin

Consistent use improves clarity and brightness without the harshness of acids or peels.

3. Detan Sleep Mask – Pigmentation and Sun Damage Correction

In regions with high UV exposure, pigmentation from tanning and photoaging is one of the most common skin complaints. A detan sleep mask targets both surface-level tan and deeper pigmentation caused by sun exposure, pollution, and hormonal changes.

These masks work by:

• Inhibiting melanin production
• Lifting dull, dead skin cells
• Calming inflammation that triggers pigmentation

Ingredients to Look For: 

• Alpha-Arbutin or Kojic Acid – Tyrosinase inhibitors to prevent melanin overproduction
• Enzyme Exfoliants (like pumpkin or papaya) – Gently remove dead cells
• Vitamin C Derivatives – Brighten without causing stinging
• Licorice Extract and Niacinamide – Lighten pigmentation without irritation

Best For:

• Suntan and sunspots
• Uneven tone due to melasma or post-acne marks
• Dull, lifeless skin
• All skin types (including sensitive) when free from alcohol/fragrance

Unlike bleaching agents, detan sleep masks preserve your skin’s natural tone while improving radiance and uniformity.

4. Collagen Sleep Mask – Firmness and Elasticity Booster

Collagen is the protein responsible for skin’s structure, elasticity, and bounce. With age and environmental stress, collagen degrades—leading to sagging, thinning, and dull skin. A collagen sleep mask helps replenish and stimulate the skin’s own collagen matrix.

Most masks use hydrolyzed collagen, which is better absorbed into the skin surface, paired with amino acids and vitamin C to support endogenous production.

Key Ingredients:

• Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen – Plumps and firms skin
• Tripeptides and Hexapeptides – Signal skin to build more collagen
• Vitamin C (SAP or MAP) – Necessary cofactor for collagen synthesis
• Seaweed or Algae Extracts – Rich in minerals and antioxidants

Best For:

• Sagging around the jawline or under eyes
• Skin thinning or loss of volume
• Post-weight loss skin laxity
• General skin fatigue and aging

With consistent use, collagen sleep masks help restore firmness and skin density, supporting a more youthful appearance.

5. Hyaluronic Acid Sleep Mask – Deep Hydration, All Skin Types

Dehydration is the root cause of many skin problems—dullness, tightness, rough texture, and fine lines. Hyaluronic acid sleep masks are designed to flood the skin with hydration at multiple levels—surface and deep layers.

Unlike regular moisturizers, these masks contain multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid, ensuring hydration reaches the epidermis and deeper dermis.

Key Ingredients:

• Low + High Molecular Weight Hyaluronic Acid – Hydration across layers
• Panthenol (B5) – Strengthens the skin’s water barrier
• Trehalose and Sodium PCA – Humectants that retain moisture
• Aloe, Cucumber, or Green Tea – Calms the skin and prevents overnight irritation

Best For:

• Dry, flaky, or tight skin
• Dehydration from travel, air conditioning, or over-exfoliation
• All skin types, especially sensitive or inflamed skin
• Skin prep before big events (for plump, dewy look)

These masks work overnight to leave the skin soft, bouncy, and luminous—like a drink of water for the face.

6. Rejuvenating Sleep Mask – Multi-Functional Repair Formula

Sometimes the skin is just… tired. Whether it’s due to stress, lack of sleep, or post-treatment sensitivity, a rejuvenating sleep mask is your best ally for overall skin reset.

These formulas combine barrier-repairing ceramides, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and probiotics to deliver a calm, radiant complexion by morning.

What Makes It Different:

• Unlike targeted masks, rejuvenating formulas focus on:
• Strengthening the microbiome
• Fighting free radicals from pollution and stress
• Reducing redness and inflammation
• Improving overnight glow

Ingredients to Look For:

• Vitamin E and Squalane – Antioxidant and emollient combo
• Centella Asiatica (Cica) – Repairs and soothes inflamed skin
• Probiotics or Ferments – Restore skin’s microbiome balance
• Chamomile, Calendula, or Green Tea – Herbal calmers for sensitive skin

Best For:

• Tired, stressed, or dull skin
• Redness or inflammation
• Post-exfoliation or post-procedure recovery
• Anyone seeking a weekly skin reset

This mask is perfect for all skin types and works well in rotation with targeted treatments.

How to Use a Sleep Mask Effectively

• Apply at night, after your serum or moisturizer. If skin is oily, you can skip moisturizer.
• Use once a week, or nightly if skin tolerates it.
• Always use broad-spectrum sunscreen the next day, especially after retinol or detan masks.
• Don’t layer with strong actives like AHAs, BHAs, or other retinoids unless advised by a dermatologist.
