Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your combination skin, this product leverages niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate to provide excellent hydration and support your skin's barrier function, while also offering moderate benefits for your acne and blemishes through the anti-inflammatory and sebum-regulating properties of niacinamide and Centella Asiatica Extract.
  • Panthenol and Allantoin further enhance the soothing and moisturizing effects, contributing to overall skin comfort and balance.
  • The formulation is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh or prohibited ingredients.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your PM routine. Start using your sheet mask 3 times a week, and build up to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply your sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer. Relax with it on for ten to fifteen minutes.
  • Take the sheet mask out and gently smooth it over your face so it fits well. Pat any leftover essence into your skin without rubbing.
  • Put the sheet mask on clean and dry skin for the best comfort. This helps your pores take in all the good ingredients.
  • Avoid getting the product too close to your sensitive eye area. Do a small patch test before your very first use to stay safe.

People Say

★4.8Overall rating based on 1.6k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, this mask is highly regarded for its exceptional ability to provide immediate and deep hydration, leaving skin feeling plump and refreshed. It is also frequently praised for its generous amount of essence and a non-sticky finish that absorbs well. While it excels at moisturizing and soothing, some users noted that its brightening or texture-improving effects were less pronounced, and a few experienced minor issues with fit or eye irritation.
