Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate exfoliation for your oily skin due to Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract and Saccharum Officinarum Extract, which help smooth texture and provide humectant action with Glycerin.
- While the formula is safe for oily skin and offers general hydration and exfoliation, it lacks targeted ingredients like salicylic acid to effectively address your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The product is safe for your oily skin, with no risks of irritation from harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use your cleansing mask PM as part of your weekly routine. Start 1×/week and increase carefully if your oily skin tolerates it well.
- Apply this step after your enzyme powder and before your hydrating toner. Follow the standard weekly order to keep your skin balanced.
- Spread an even layer of the cleansing mask across your face while avoiding the eye area. Let it sit for the recommended time without rubbing .
- Apply the mask on clean and dry skin for the best purifying effect on your breakouts. Clean skin allows the formula to target blemishes directly.
- Always do a patch test before your first use to check for sensitivity. Avoid combining this mask with strong acids or retinoids in the same routine .

Questions and answers
How well does the Vichy Double Glow Peel Mask work for oily acne-prone skin?
The Vichy Double Glow Peel Mask works reasonably well for oily skin by helping smooth texture and providing gentle hydration, but it lacks targeted ingredients like salicylic acid for your acne. This skin type needs clarifying ingredients like BHA and blue tansy that clear breakouts while remaining safe and non-irritating.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2011Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Which ingredients make this exfoliating mask a good fit for oily acne-prone skin?
Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract and Saccharum Officinarum Extract make this mask a good fit by providing moderate exfoliation that helps smooth texture, alongside glycerin for hydration. However, because it lacks targeted ingredients like salicylic acid for breakouts, an oily acne-prone skin type needs a product with effective clarifying ingredients like BHA and blue tansy to clear pores and soothe acne.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2011Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
What does Alpha Hydroxy Acid do for oily acne-prone skin?
Alpha hydroxy acid helps clear blemishes and soothe oily, acne-prone skin by gently removing dead skin cells and calming inflammation. Using this ingredient may also help improve skin texture and reduce breakouts when added to your regular routine.
What does Volcanic Rock do for oily acne-prone skin?
Volcanic rock works as a gentle physical scrub that helps clear away dead skin cells and excess oil from your face. Using it may help keep pores clear and reduce breakouts when used a couple of times a week.
Where does this exfoliating mask go in a skincare routine for oily acne-prone skin?
This exfoliating mask is used once a week as part of a weekly cleansing routine, following your makeup remover and cleanser. While it safely smooths texture, oily and acne-prone skin also needs targeted ingredients like salicylic acid to effectively clear blemishes and breakouts.
Can I use this exfoliating mask with retinol, and in what order?
How often should I use this exfoliating mask?
Start by using this exfoliating mask once a week, and if your skin handles it well and shows good results, you can carefully use it more often. This product works for your oily skin, though it lacks targeted acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid, which this skin type needs alongside exfoliating acids to clear breakouts.
Can this exfoliating mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily acne-prone skin?
This exfoliating mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on oily skin, and it is safe to use without risks of irritation from harsh ingredients. However, because it lacks targeted ingredients like salicylic acid, this skin type needs a product that includes salicylic acid to effectively clear breakouts and blemishes.
Is this exfoliating mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It contains fragrance (parfum) and drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
