Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin due to glycerin and hyaluronic acid, but these humectants may worsen oily shine on your T-zone.
- While the formulation is safe for your combination skin with no harsh ingredients, it lacks specific oil-control properties.
How to apply
- You can use this sheet mask PM or AM to control oily shine. Start 3 times a week and increase if your skin likes it.
- Apply this sheet mask after cleansing and toning, and before putting on your moisturizer.
- Unfold the sheet mask and gently press it onto your face, smoothing it out without rubbing. Leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes before removing.
- Put the sheet mask on clean skin to help your face absorb the essence better. Pat any remaining liquid gently into your skin.
- Avoid getting the product too close to your eyes. Do a quick patch test before your very first use.
People Say
★4.6Overall rating based on 10.0k+ reviewsThis overnight mask is widely praised for its ability to dissolve dead skin cells and deeply hydrate, leaving lips baby soft and plump by morning. While the rich, glossy texture and sweet berry scent are major hits, some users find it acts more as a temporary barrier than a long-term cure for chronic dryness. This summary is based on a very large amount of data and should definitely be taken into account.

Questions and answers
Why does Lovi advise caution with the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask for combination skin?
This mask is a poor match for combination skin because its hydrating ingredients like glycerin may worsen oily shine on your T-zone. A nourishing mask for this skin type needs soothing ingredients that manage oily shine without irritation, along with oil-control properties.
Which ingredients make this mask a poor fit for combination skin?
Glycerin and hyaluronic acid make this mask a poor fit for your combination skin because these humectants may worsen oily shine on your T-zone. A product of this type needs soothing ingredients that manage oily shine, target both hydration and oil control, and include components like vitamin C and niacinamide.
What does Water do for combination skin?
Water helps keep combination skin hydrated, though a product of this type needs additional barrier-protecting ingredients like ceramides or petrolatum to lock in that moisture and support overall skin health.
What does Butylene Glycol do for combination skin?
Butylene glycol helps boost the absorption of other ingredients into combination skin while keeping the skin feeling soft. It may also help draw moisture into dry areas, though formulations need the right balance of soothing lipids and water-attracting ingredients to properly care for combination skin.
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for combination skin?
This mask is a poor match for your combination skin because its humectants may worsen oily shine on your T-zone. To properly care for combination skin, a product of this type needs oil-control ingredients and lightweight balancing properties.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask with your retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help lock in moisture. While the formula is safe and gentle for your skin, it lacks oil-control properties, so combination skin needs a lightweight, oil-balancing moisturizer to keep the T-zone clear.
How often should I use this mask?
This mask offers moderate moisture, but its ingredients may worsen oily shine on your combination skin. A product for this skin type needs balancing oil-control properties to keep areas like your T-zone matte and clear.
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?
This mask is unlikely to cause purging since it does not contain exfoliating acids, but it may make oily areas look shinier and feel heavy. Combination skin needs lightweight, oil-controlling ingredients to keep pores clear and balance moisture without extra shine.
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
What the research says
A 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.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.
