Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your combination skin, as Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid provide essential hydration and plumping effects beneficial for overall skin health. However, the formula lacks targeted ingredients to effectively manage your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The mask provides excellent nourishing and hydrating benefits due to high concentrations of Hyaluronic Acid and Collagen Extract, which support skin barrier function.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your combination skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- You can use this creamy mask as part of your PM routine once a week. Start 3×/week if your skin tolerates it well.
- Apply the creamy mask after cleansing and toning, but always before your moisturizer .
- Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask over your face while avoiding any harsh rubbing. Let it sit ⏱ for the recommended time before rinsing.
- Apply the creamy mask on clean and dry skin for the best results against blemishes.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a patch test before your very first use.
People Say
★4.2Overall rating based on 3.5k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, users frequently praise this mask for delivering a "glass skin" effect and locking in moisture overnight, making it a popular choice for dry or dull skin types seeking a morning glow. Users also report an improvement in skin texture and that the mask helps seal in their existing skincare routine. However, those with acne-prone or sensitive skin often report breakouts or irritation, and many users find the application process sticky and the quantity small for the price.
