Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate cleansing for your normal skin, as kaolin and bentone gel hectorite gel absorb excess oil and impurities, while glycerin provides humectant action.
  • The presence of peppermint oil and limonene may pose risks of worsening your skin sensitivity and redness.

How to apply

  • Use this cleansing mask once a week as part of your weekly routine, starting slowly to see how your skin reacts.
  • Apply this product after cleansing and enzyme powder, and before your hydrating toner and moisturizer.
  • Smooth an even layer of the cleansing mask over your face, making sure to gently avoid rubbing.
  • Put the mask on clean and dry skin to keep your sensitive face calm and comfortable.
  • Do a patch test before your first use and avoid getting the mask too close to your eyes.
