This Overnight Mask Makes My Skin Look Like It Did When I Was 18

So last September your girl turned 30 (shoutout all my Virgo bbs!), and as much as I genuinely love and cherish getting older, I won’t lie: A part of me still longs for the baby-smooth, bouncy, clear skin I had when I was younger. You see, since I hit my mid-20s, I’ve struggled with annoying texture, stubborn dry spots, and larger-looking pores—not to mention some fine lines and wrinkles around my eyes—so I’m always on the hunt for solutions that can help smooth, hydrate, and tighten up my skin. The latest addition to my skin-saving lineup? Borghese’s Overnight Mask with AHA & BHA.

Where do I even begin? At the risk of sounding hyperbolic, I love everything about this mask, from the featherlight creamy texture to how gentle and soothing it is—plus, of course, how amazing it makes my skin look. I discovered it by accident while researching overnight masks, and never in a million years did I expect to be so impressed. In fact, it was the first time I have ever used an exfoliating mask, and I was a little worried it might be too harsh on my sensitive face.

Thankfully, it turned out to be the exact opposite. Powered by a 6 percent blend of alpha hydroxy acid (AHA), and 0.4 percent beta hydroxy acids (BHA), and fruit acid, the weightless formula effortlessly unclogs congested pores and eradicates excess dead skin that can lead to dry spots. It also contains hyaluronic acid and essential fatty acids, in the form of grape-seed and meadowfoam-seed oils. Together, they help to deeply hydrate skin and fade the look of fine lines and wrinkles—and I notice my skin looks notably less red after I use it, too.

The first time I gave it a go, a few weeks back, I was seriously floored the morning afterward. And not because I’d had one too many glasses of wine (lol), but because my skin looked and felt baby-smooth, super-soft, and just…incredibly youthful and healthy. Hell, my pores looked nonexistent! Since then, I’ve been using it twice a week to keep my skin calm, happy, and clear—and honestly, I can’t imagine not having it in my rotation now.

Needless to say, if you’re in the same boat as yours truly and could use a product that helps smooth and clear your skin while you snooze, look no further than this absolute *gem* of a mask from Borghese. It’s derm-tested, fab for all skin types, and it’ll even last you ages, because a little goes a long way! I rest my case.
