Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration and soothing benefits due to ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid and Raspberry Fruit Extract, which are supportive but not targeted for your acne, blemishes, and breakouts or oiliness.
- The presence of Hydrogenated Polyisobutene and Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil provide emollient action, potentially exacerbating oiliness for your oily skin.
- There are no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients, and the presence of soothing ingredients like Raspberry Fruit Extract and Blueberry Fruit Extract.
How to apply
- Use your sheet mask PM routine about 1-3 times a week to help with breakouts. Start slowly to see how your oily skin feels before using it more often.
- Put on your sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before applying your final moisturizer. This helps your skin absorb all the good ingredients easily.
- Unfold the sheet mask and smooth it gently over your face without rubbing. Leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes ⏱ and gently pat any leftover essence into your skin.
- Apply the sheet mask directly onto clean and dry skin for the best results against blemishes. There is no need to wash your face again after removing the mask.
- Avoid getting the product into your eyes and always 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 is Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask a weak match for oily acne-prone skin?
This mask is a weak match for oily acne-prone skin because heavy ingredients like hydrogenated polyisobutene and plant oils may make extra oiliness worse. While it has soothing fruit extracts and hydrating hyaluronic acid, it lacks ingredients that target breakouts. A nourishing mask for this skin needs ingredients like niacinamide and centella asiatica to calm acne and balance oil without clogging pores.
Which ingredients make this mask a poor fit for oily acne-prone skin?
Hydrogenated Polyisobutene and Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil make this mask a weak fit because their heavy softening action may increase oiliness for your oily skin. A better product for this skin needs ingredients like Niacinamide and Centella Asiatica that target acne and blemishes without adding excess oil.
What does Water do for oily acne-prone skin?
Water helps keep oily, acne-prone skin hydrated without making it greasy. Keeping skin hydrated is important because acne treatments can dry it out and irritate the skin barrier.
What does Butylene Glycol do for oily acne-prone skin?
Butylene glycol helps skincare sink into the skin more easily while keeping it feeling light. It aids in delivering other ingredients effectively without clogging pores.
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for oily acne-prone skin?
This nourishing mask is a weak match for oily acne-prone skin because heavy ingredients like hydrogenated polyisobutene and safflower seed oil may increase oiliness. Skincare for this skin type needs lightweight, oil-controlling ingredients and blemish-targeted treatments instead of heavy masks.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask alongside retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help lock in moisture. However, because this product is a weak match for oily acne-prone skin, a product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and soothing ingredients that balance oil without heavy oils that can clog pores.
How often should I use this mask?
This nourishing mask is a weak match for your oily acne-prone skin because heavy softening ingredients may increase oiliness and breakouts. Oily skin needs lightweight hydration and soothing plant extracts that calm blemishes without adding heavy oils.
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily acne-prone skin?
This mask may feel heavy and worsen oiliness on oily acne-prone skin because it contains heavy oils and softening ingredients. While it is unlikely to cause irritation or purging due to the absence of harsh ingredients, a product for this skin type needs lighter, oil-controlling ingredients and blemish-fighting agents.
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.

Topical hyaluronic acid filler serum combined with Botulinum toxin type A lengthened the duration of the toxin's effect in reducing wrinkles compared to Botulinum toxin type A alone.
Dermatologic Therapy, 2022Optimized transfersomes loaded with epigallocatechin-3-gallate and hyaluronic acid increased cell viability while reducing lipid peroxidation, intracellular ROS, and MMP expression in HaCaT cells, and exhibited higher skin permeation and deposition compared to plain EGCG.
Drug Delivery, 2017Application of an o/w emulsion containing 8% hydrogenated polyisobutene significantly elevated skin moisture, reduced TEWL by approximately 33% against a control formulation within 3 hours, and was 5-10% more effective than the CCT formulation.

Molecular Nutrition & Food Research, 2009A 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.

Why other nourishing masks fit oily acne-prone skin better
Co-delivery of paeonol and madecassoside via nanoemulsions improved transdermal delivery, promoted barrier repair proteins, inhibited inflammatory cytokine secretion in cellular and 3D models, and reduced transepidermal water loss and acne in human facial skin compared to free components.
Molecules, 2023Application of Galactomyces ferment filtrate skin care formula significantly reduced the net values and daily fluctuation of facial pore area, roughness, and redness in young Japanese women.
