Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate benefits for your redness and irritation due to Centella Asiatica Extract and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, which help soothe sensitive skin. The combination of Sodium Hyaluronate and Ceramide NP provides excellent hydration and barrier support, making it suitable for your normal skin type.
  • The presence of Beta-Glucan and Allantoin further enhances the soothing and hydrating effects, contributing to overall skin comfort.
  • The product is safe for your sensitive skin as it contains no harsh ingredients and includes soothing components like Centella Asiatica Extract and Beta-Glucan.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start by using the sheet mask 3 times a week and increase if your skin feels good.
  • Apply the sheet mask right after cleansing and toning, but always before your daily moisturizer or SPF.
  • Unfold the sheet mask and gently press it onto your face, avoiding any harsh rubbing. Leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes.
  • For sensitive skin, apply the sheet mask on completely dry skin to ensure better comfort and tolerance.
  • Always avoid the delicate eye area and do a quick patch test before your very first use.

Questions and answers

How well does the Etude House 0.2mm Therapy Air Mask work for sensitive skin?

This mask works well enough for sensitive skin, though other products fit it better. To truly thrive, sensitive skin needs a product formulated with high concentrations of soothing and effective ingredients that reduce redness and irritation while avoiding any risk of irritation.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Molecules, 2023

Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for sensitive skin?

This mask works for sensitive skin because it contains Centella Asiatica Extract and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, which help calm redness and irritation. Additionally, Sodium Hyaluronate and Ceramide NP provide hydration and support the skin barrier, while Beta-Glucan and Allantoin contribute to overall skin comfort.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016

What does Hyaluronic Acid do for sensitive skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps calm and hydrate sensitive skin while supporting the skin barrier to keep it soft and comfortable. Clinical studies show it improves surface moisture and reduces dryness, roughness, and redness without irritation.

Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2018

What does Tea Tree Oil do for sensitive skin?

Tea tree oil helps calm redness and swelling, but it is also known to cause skin irritation and allergic reactions in some people. Sensitive skin needs soothing and protective ingredients like niacinamide or ceramides to strengthen the skin barrier without the risk of contact allergy.

The British Journal of Dermatology, 2002

Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This nourishing mask fits into a sensitive skin routine as a weekly step after your cleanser and enzyme powder, and before your treatment and moisturizer. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may help calm redness, though this skin type generally does better with products specifically tailored to soothe delicate barriers.

Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this mask in your weekly routine, keeping it separate from your retinol nights to help keep your skin calm and hydrated. Sensitive skin needs nourishing masks with soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica Extract and barrier-supporting components like Ceramide NP to prevent irritation.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016

How often should I use this mask?

You can use this nourishing mask once a week as part of your routine. Sensitive skin needs gentle hydrating and calming ingredients like centella asiatica extract, sodium hyaluronate, and ceramides to stay comfortable and calm.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016

Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?

This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for sensitive skin because it contains no harsh ingredients and includes calming components like centella asiatica extract and beta-glucan. However, sensitive skin prone to breakouts often benefits more from products that are oil-free and non-comedogenic while still providing lightweight hydration.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021

Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It contains fragrance (limonene and citral) and drying alcohol (ethanol).
