what's the difference between products labelled as sleeping/night masks and the night/overnight moisturizers/creams? at least, function/effect wise. i know most sleeping masks tend to recommend washing off in the morning, but in general, what's the difference between the two?

It feels like the sleeping masks absorb more quickly. Functionally I find that my skin looks a better in the morning with the overnight masks.

Just be careful you don't end up getting whatever you're using in or around your eyes by the morning, or you'll end up with puffy eyes.

I agree with the masks being more effective and I've actually traded using crèmes for masks especially since a lot of night creams are really heavy on my skin and cause breakouts.


Basically it's just personal preference as both pretty much give the same end results.

I really like the fresh rose mask, it is a daytime one that you leave on for 5-10 minutes. So I do it in the morning. I got a ton of samples. Now I need to get a full size.

I am have dry skin, so my challenges are different.

If you have a Sephora nearby get samples of all the masks that sound appealing and try them out!

The Fresh Rose mask is the one I have as well. Also the Rose Mask sample is the birthday gift at Sephora this year. I'll have 2 sample sizes since Fresh gave me one when I bought the full size.


I use different sheet masks at night that you don't rinse off so your skin can absorb all the goodies while you sleep.

I have a mini of the LaNeige moisturizing water sleep mask. It is just ok. I have the origins drink up mask, this is great.

I also have been using the belief brightening mask. I have done a bunch of things to brighten, and my skin is looking more even. So something worked, but I don't know what. :P

Yeah that can get confusing when you're trying products and you see the improvement but you can't really directly know for sure which product made what changes. I try to test the product for a week before pairing it with my routine to try to get a feel for the product especially since I easily breakout. So if I get a breakout, I know eactly which product it came from. They've come out with so many masks and there are a few I want to try but the Fresh Rose Mask will always be a staple, I love it!


I tried the Black Tea line and it was a bit too strong for my skin, so I can revisit that later when my skin matures more as I hear a lot of great things about the Black Tea line. They've also expanded the Rose line a lot and have a new moisturizer that I want to check out. I'm thinking that could be my night cream since it doesn't have SPF.

I prefer my Monsia night repair cream and once my face has absorbed it I apply Vit E oil particularly to my neck, forehead & around my eyes. Vit E oil holds in the moisture.
