KOSÉ SEKKISEI Clear Whitening Mask, $35 for 80g

In the four years since its relaunch, this has become a staple for many women. Why they love it: It contains oriental plant extracts to refine the pores, brighten, and suppress excess sebum; it has firming black powder; its soft scent is soothing; and it peels off satisfyingly to remove blackheads, keratin plugs and dead cells. Skin is brighter, clearer and more translucent.
