Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate cleansing for normal skin, with bentonite and bromelain decongesting pores and exfoliating, while glycerin and beta-glucan provide hydration and barrier support.
  • The formula lacks specialized ingredients to target redness and irritation, which are your primary concerns.
  • The product is safe for your sensitive skin, as it contains soothing agents like Beta-Glucan and Allantoin and avoids harsh or prohibited ingredients.

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.

Questions and answers

How well does the Perricone MD Chlorophyll Detox Mask work for sensitive skin?

This mask is an average fit for sensitive skin because it lacks specific ingredients to calm redness and irritation, though it is safe to use and includes soothing agents like beta-glucan and allantoin. A cleansing mask for sensitive skin needs ingredients that directly target redness and irritation while keeping the skin calm and hydrated.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021

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

This mask contains beta-glucan and allantoin, which help soothe sensitive skin and support skin recovery. Products that fit this skin type best need calming ingredients that actively target redness and irritation.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021

What does Chlorophyll do for sensitive skin?

Chlorophyll helps calm sensitive skin and reduce redness by soothing irritation. Because it has a very gentle profile, it is unlikely to cause a reaction.

What do Microcapsules do for sensitive skin?

Microcapsules protect delicate ingredients and release them slowly, which helps keep sensitive skin calm and smooth with less irritation. This advanced delivery approach improves how active ingredients work while keeping the product gentle enough for daily use.

Colloids and Surfaces. B, Biointerfaces, 2022Journal of Controlled Release, 2018

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

This cleansing mask fits into a weekly routine as a nourishing mask step, though it is only an average fit for sensitive skin because it lacks specialized ingredients to target redness and irritation. To better care for sensitive skin, a product of this type needs calming agents and soothing botanical extracts to reduce redness and strengthen the skin barrier.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021

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

You can use this mask in your routine, but a cleansing mask of this type needs extra soothing and hydrating ingredients to keep sensitive skin calm and comfortable when combined with retinol.

How often should I use this mask?

This cleansing mask is suitable for sensitive skin, but because it lacks ingredients to target redness, this skin type needs formulas with extra soothing and calming agents.

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 helps clear out pores while including soothing ingredients like beta-glucan and allantoin. However, since it lacks specialized ingredients to calm redness and irritation, a product for this skin needs soothing plant extracts and barrier-supporting ingredients to keep sensitive skin calm and clear.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021

Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
