Best Medical-Grade Face Masks & Peels in Canada

Most masks are used one to three times a week. Hydrating masks can be used more often, while clay and exfoliating masks should be limited to avoid over-drying or irritation.

An at-home peel uses gentle concentrations of acids or enzymes to exfoliate and resurface the skin, offering milder, gradual results compared with a professional in-clinic peel.

Hydrating masks with hyaluronic acid, ceramides and humectants, like PCA Hyaluronic Acid Overnight Mask or Alumier Aqua Infusion, are ideal for dry, dehydrated skin.

Clay and charcoal masks absorb excess oil and decongest pores, making them ideal for oily and breakout-prone skin. Use once or twice weekly to avoid over-drying.

Apply masks after cleansing. Use treatment and clay masks before serums; leave overnight and hydrating masks as the final sealing step at night.

Space them out. Both resurface, so using them on the same night can irritate skin. Alternate nights and always follow with SPF during the day.

NeoGenesis Enzyme Cream Mask uses pineapple and fig enzymes in a creamy clay base to exfoliate without scrubbing, and the brand recommends it for sensitive, redness-prone and blemish-prone skin. Fresh Face Rejuvenating Peat Mask blends peat with botanical antioxidants and vitamins for gentle natural exfoliation on aging or blemish-prone skin. Use either once or twice a week after cleansing, before serums. Available at WeDoSkin, an Authorized Canadian Retailer.
