I'm a big fan of Clinique's Moisture Surge products. They manage to pack a huge amount of hydrating power, and are always my first port of call for dealing with sunburned or otherwise parched skin. The latest product in the lineup is Moisture Surge Overnight Mask, which has the familiar gel-cream texture, and aims to provide a dewy glow in the morning by hydrating the skin overnight.
I've tried it a few times now, and it definitely does what it says on the tin - applied after cleansing at night, it absorbs quickly and leaves the skin feeling plumped up and hydrated come the morning. But I'm not really sure what makes this product a mask - the instructions say to massage it in until it's fully absorbed, and there's no film or residue to wash off in the morning. So it's really more of an intensive hydrating cream, not a mask. And whilst it's perfectly nice, I'm not sure it really does a lot more than the Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief cream I already own and love.
If you prefer a squeezy tube format, or don't already own one of the Moisture Surge gel-creams, you'll enjoy the hydration that this product brings to your skin. If you already have a Moisture Surge product, though, I doubt you'll find a lot of difference in this one.
Find it at Clinique counters and concessions, and online at the Clinique website, where it'll cost you £28.

I must agree with you when you say you're not quite sure what makes it a mask - I have always felt the same about the Origins Intensive Overnight Drink Up Mask. It's a really lovely product, but surely more of a moisturiser!? I suppose it's because it takes longer to sink in than a standard cream would, even though you have to rub it right in.
