Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration for your normal skin, as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide humectant benefits, though these ingredients do not specifically target your main goal of pigmentation.
- Silk extract contributes emollient properties, supporting overall skin comfort and smoothness.
- The product is safe for your normal skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using the sheet mask 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply the sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer or SPF.
- Place the sheet mask smoothly over your face and gently press it to help the ingredients soak in.
- For the best results, put the sheet mask on clean and slightly damp skin.
- Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use.

Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for skin with dark spots?
This mask works for skin with dark spots because glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide moderate hydration to keep skin comfortable and soft. However, a product of this type needs effective soothing ingredients and targeted components for pigmentation to be a truly great fit for this skin type.

What does Hadasei-3 Complex do for skin with dark spots?

This routine is unlikely to cause irritation due to the gentle ingredients, though fading dark spots effectively requires adding targeted brightening ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide.
