Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin, as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide humectant action to hydrate without exacerbating oiliness. However, the formula lacks sufficient specialized ingredients for optimal oil control, which is your main goal.
- The presence of Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract offers soothing benefits, contributing to a comfortable experience for your oily skin.
- The product is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of calming components.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your sheet mask 3 times a week and increase if your skin likes it.
- Apply your sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer.
- Place the sheet mask smoothly over your face and gently press it down without rubbing.
- Put the mask on clean and slightly dry skin for the best results and comfort.
- Avoid the eye area and do a simple patch test before using it for the first time.

Questions and answers
How well does Some By Mi Glow Luminous Ampoule Mask work for oily skin?
This mask works moderately well for oily skin, as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate hydrate without making skin greasy, while allantoin and aloe help calm it. However, it lacks ingredients that actively control shine, so oily skin generally needs a product with targeted oil control and balancing ingredients.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Clinical Pharmacology, 2018
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for oily skin?
Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate hydrate oily skin without adding excess oil, while allantoin, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, and aloe vera help calm it. To fit oily skin even better, a nourishing mask needs specialized ingredients that specifically control shine and excess oil.
What does Allantoin do for oily skin?
Allantoin helps calm oily skin and keeps it feeling soft and smooth by supporting skin healing and keeping irritation low. This ingredient works well for skin that gets easily bothered, helping it stay comfortable and balanced.
What does Trehalose do for oily skin?
Trehalose helps manage oily skin by reducing excess oil production and clearing breakouts. It is often included in specialized masks to help balance skin and improve clarity.
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This nourishing mask works as an occasional extra step, though oily skin of this type needs products with ingredients focused on oil control for the best fit.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can safely use this nourishing mask with your retinol routine, applying it after your treatment product to keep your skin calm and comfortable. This type of product works well for oily skin when it includes ingredients like niacinamide, clay, or salicylic acid to help control excess oil and shine.
How often should I use this mask?
This nourishing mask works well for your oily skin by hydrating it without making it greasy, though an oily skin routine needs oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine best. You can use it as a weekly treatment, as it is unlikely to cause irritation.
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on oily skin because it has a safe profile with calming components, though it lacks the specialized ingredients needed to actively control excess oil.

Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
