Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin, as Saccharomyces Xylinum Black Tea Ferment and Sodium Hyaluronate provide excellent hydration and elasticity, but ingredients like Shea Butter and Jojoba Seed Oil may not be ideal for managing excess sebum.
- While the formula offers general hydration and soothing benefits, it does not directly target your oily shine concerns.
- The product is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
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.

Questions and answers
How well does Pyunkang Yul Black Tea Revitalizing Mask Pack work for oily skin?
This nourishing mask offers moderate suitability for oily skin, as it provides good hydration and soothing benefits without clogging pores, though heavy oils like shea butter may not help manage excess shine. Oily skin typically needs oil-controlling and mattifying ingredients to deliver optimal results.
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for oily skin?
Fermented black tea and sodium hyaluronate make this mask a good fit for oily skin by providing hydration and elasticity. To truly suit oily skin, this type of product needs ingredients that control excess sebum and offer a mattifying finish.
What does Fermented Black Tea do for oily skin?
Fermented Black Tea helps calm oily skin by fighting reactive oxygen species and protecting against cellular damage. It is unlikely to feel heavy and may help reduce daily oxidative stress on the skin.
What does Collagen do for oily skin?
Collagen helps keep oily skin hydrated and balanced without adding heaviness. It improves overall skin condition and helps maintain moisture levels, but an oily skin routine also needs ingredients that control excess oil and clear pores.

Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This nourishing mask works as an occasional treatment step in your routine, though it is only an average fit for oily skin because ingredients like shea butter and jojoba seed oil may not help manage excess shine. Oily skin of this type needs lightweight hydrators and oil-balancing ingredients that provide moisture without heavy oils.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask with retinol, applying the mask after your retinol treatment as an extra layer of hydration. The formula is safe and unlikely to cause irritation, though oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydration and ingredients that help manage excess shine rather than heavy oils.
How often should I use this mask?
You can use this nourishing mask weekly as part of your routine. This product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and oil-balancing ingredients for your oily skin.
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This mask is unlikely to cause irritation on oily skin, but ingredients like shea butter and jojoba seed oil may not be ideal for managing excess shine. Oily skin needs lightweight hydrating ingredients and oil-balancing extracts that help keep pores clear without adding heavy oils.
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
