EltaMD Skin Recovery Night Mask is a pillow-proof leave-on mask that works on the skin barrier and redness overnight. It runs on Chronobiology Technology, a bush clover extract that works with the skin's own circadian rhythm, alongside AAComplex, EltaMD's patented blend of taurine, arginine and glycine. In EltaMD's testing, 86% agreed their skin felt hydrated after one use, and 87% said it looked less dull after seven days.
Product Details
Pillow-proof is the part that matters night to night. The cream absorbs rather than transferring to your pillowcase, which is the usual reason people give up on overnight masks. In EltaMD's testing over 14 days it reduced water loss through the skin and improved barrier function, and over 28 days it reduced visible redness. Sodium hyaluronate holds moisture and vitamin E works on free radicals. Fragrance-free, paraben-free, dye-free and noncomedogenic. Browse the rest of EltaMD moisturizers to see what pairs with it.
