Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration for your oily skin, as glycerin and panthenol provide essential moisture and support barrier function without feeling heavy. While beneficial for overall hydration, the formula lacks specific ingredients to actively manage excess oil or shine.
- The product is safe for your oily skin, with no harsh ingredients that could cause irritation.
- It provides a good moisturizing effect suitable for oily skin, but does not offer targeted solutions for oil control.
How to apply
- Use this creamy mask PM once a week to start, then increase frequency if your skin feels good.
- Apply this creamy mask after cleansing and toner, but before your moisturizer.
- Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask gently over your face, avoiding any harsh rubbing.
- Put the creamy mask on clean and completely dry skin for the best results against oily shine.
- Make sure to avoid the sensitive eye area and do a quick patch test before using it the first time.

What the research says
A panthenol-enriched mask significantly decreased erythema and hyperpigmentation, increased sebum and stratum corneum moisture, and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to a saline dressing in 60 subjects undergoing facial laser treatment.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025Topical dexpanthenol acts as a moisturizer, improves stratum corneum hydration, accelerates wound healing and epidermal regeneration, reduces erythema, and improves symptoms of skin irritation compared to vehicle or no pretreatment.
American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002A new topical panthenol-containing emollient significantly improved transepidermal water loss reduction, stratum corneum hydration, and intercellular lipid lamellae length compared with control in healthy subjects without negatively impacting bacterial viability.
The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.
