A Pumpkin Mask Can Save Your Dull, Dry Skin—and These Are 9 of the Best Ones

Best overall pumpkin mask

Averse to harsh chemcials in your skincare? Us too. Andalou Naturals prides itself on using fruit stem cell science that relies on natural botanicals instead. This mask is no exception—it's laden with pumpkin, honey and vitamin C to brighten, protect and speed up collagen production.

WHAT WE LIKE: We love a good power couple, and the pumpkin and honey found within this formula fit the bill here, working together in this mixture to gently exfoliate while also nourishing and plumping the skin. The addition of aloe vera also strengthens your delicate protective barrier.

Best-smelling pumpkin mask

This mask is something of a triple threat. It uses pumpkin enzymes to chemically exfoliate, additional alpha hydroxy acid to peel away impurities and aluminum oxide crystals to physically exfoliate your face and give your skin a polished finish.

WHAT WE LIKE: There's a reason this pick is a universal cult favorite. For starters? The smell. A favorite of Assigning Commerce Editor Nicole Briese, this mask is a treat to apply thanks to its delectable pumpkin pie scent. Don't let its sweet smell fool you, however: This stuff works, making your face tingle as it sloughs away dry, flaky skin to leave behind a brighter complexion and clearer pores.

Most exfoliating pumpkin mask

With ingredients that are regularly found in your favorite festive beverages, like pumpkin, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, this yummy formula works to gently exfoliate and nourish your skin in a way that’s effective, yet far less harsh than a chemical peel.

WHAT WE LIKE: We love a good tingling sensation. What better way to know when a product's powerful pumpkin enzymes are actually working their magic? This mask delivers in spades. It also contains 1 to 3 percent glycolic acid and vitamins C and E in an effort to help fight signs of aging, like fine lines and wrinkles. All in all, Amazon customers say that it's not only a cheaper alternative to the Peter Thomas Roth option above, they find that it works even better. Wrote one happy buyer, "For a fraction of the price of these high dollar brands, my skin feels and looks amazing after using this!"

Most hydrating pumpkin mask

Bliss’ whipped and creamy pumpkin mask contains all of the usual exfoliating suspects, but also has prebiotics, which are meant to balance the good and bad bacteria on your face. And as gross as it may sound, that's actually a good thing (trust).

WHAT WE LIKE: Those with dry flakes and patches will be particularly impressed with this one, which has sodium hyaluronate that the company claims will actually bind moisture to your skin. It also has shea butter added in for good measure, which will not only hydrate, but soften and promote elasticity, according to Bliss.

Best cruelty-free pumpkin mask

Model Off Duty’s formula is made with potent pumpkin enzymes and a bit of neem (aka Indian lilac), which is said to act as a healing agent for the skin.

WHAT WE LIKE: Unlike thick clays that take lots of muscle to remove, this light and creamy mixture rinses off in a flash. It's cruelty-free (we see you, animal lovers), clean and sustainable too, making it one purchase you'll feel good about all the way around.

Best pumpkin mask for sensitive skin

If your skin flares up at the drop of a hat, you'll want to look to this ultra-gentle pumpkin mask, which has anti-irritant and anti-inflammatory properties.

WHAT WE LIKE: Coupling all-natural, vegan and cruelty-free ingredients, including kaolin clay and minerals, with detoxifying pumpkin seed oil, this mask aims to unearth your skin from behind any run-of-the-mill dirt, grime and flakes. Customers with even the most sensitive of skin rave that it didn't cause them problems, and it comes with a free applicator brush that will be far more sanitary to use than your hands.

Most convenient pumpkin mask

Multaskers, rejoice! This mask, which is comprised on 96 percent natural ingredients including exfoliating pumpkin enzyme and vitamin C-rich cranberry fruit powder, can be used as you shower.

WHAT WE LIKE: In as little as five minutes, this vegan, whipped mousse mask will be ready to rinse off, saving you precious time. It's designed to be left on your skin while you scrub down the rest of your body and washed off with the rest of your products. The result? "Next-level radiant-looking skin straight of the shower."

Best pumpkin mask alternative

If you’ve got mask fatigue, this apply-it-and-dry-it scrub is ideal. With its pumpkin seed, sweet almond oil and reportedly firming willow extract, it’s got all the benefits of a pumpkin enzyme mask (it can also be used as one, since you can leave it on as long as you like), but it can also be washed off in a hurry.

WHAT WE LIKE: This fan-favorite formula is gentle enough for the skin on your face and potent enough for the skin on your body—you can even use it on leathery elbows! We also love that it's cruelty-free.

Best value pumpkin mask

This popular find doesn't actually have a whole lot of pumpkin in it—it's made of exfoliating jojoba beads and detoxifying kaolin clay to scrub out impurities, with salicylic acid to help fight acne—but shoppers say it smells just like a pumpkin pie.

WHAT WE LIKE: The warming nature of this option lets you know when it’s time to stop massaging it into your skin and let it get to work. It’s a soothing sensation that’ll both perk you right up in the morning and help you wind down before bed. You also can't beat the value for the price.
