You can use Mask property of the layer to achieve this.

CAShapeLayer *maskLayer = [CAShapeLayer layer];
maskLayer.frame = self.imageView.bounds ;
UIBezierPath *roundedPath = [UIBezierPath bezierPathWithOvalInRect:maskLayer.frame];
maskLayer.fillColor = [[UIColor whiteColor] CGColor];
maskLayer.backgroundColor = [[UIColor clearColor] CGColor];
maskLayer.path = [roundedPath CGPath];

// Add mask
self.imageView.layer.mask = maskLayer;
