Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate exfoliation for your normal skin due to Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract and Saccharum Officinarum Extract, which help smooth texture and provide humectant action.
- Glycerin and Pumice offer general skincare benefits like hydration and cleansing, which can be supportive for redness and irritation but are not specifically targeted to address these concerns.
- The formula is safe for your sensitive skin as it lacks prohibited or harsh ingredients, minimizing the risk of irritation.
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 Vichy Double Glow Peel Mask work for sensitive skin?
This mask works reasonably well for sensitive skin because it lacks harsh ingredients and minimizes the risk of irritation, though other products fit your skin better. To be a better fit for sensitive skin, a product of this type needs soothing and hydrating ingredients that target redness and irritation.
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for sensitive skin?
Glycerin and Pumice offer hydration and cleansing that can be supportive for redness and irritation, while the formula remains safe by lacking harsh ingredients. A product of this type needs soothing natural extracts and gentle exfoliants to manage redness and keep sensitive skin calm and comfortable.
What does Alpha Hydroxy Acid do for sensitive skin?
Alpha hydroxy acids help smooth and brighten sensitive skin when you choose gentler forms like polyhydroxy acids or carefully formulated derivatives that are less likely to cause irritation. They improve hydration and soften lines while keeping the skin calm.
What does Volcanic Rock do for sensitive skin?
Volcanic Rock is usually too harsh for sensitive skin because it acts as a very strong scrub that can cause redness and irritation. Sensitive skin needs very gentle, smooth cleansers or soft washcloths instead of sharp exfoliating minerals to keep the skin calm and comfortable.
Where does it go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?
This cleansing mask is used once a week as part of your weekly routine, right after cleansing. Because it provides moderate exfoliation, a product for this skin needs gentle soothing ingredients and hydrating agents to smooth texture while keeping redness and irritation calm.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask in your routine, but avoid using it on the same nights you apply retinol to prevent irritation. Instead, use this exfoliating mask on a separate weekly night, following up with a gentle moisturizer.
How often should I use it?
Start by using this mask once a week, and if your skin tolerates it well and you see good results, you can carefully use it more often. A product of this type for sensitive skin needs soothing ingredients like Centella asiatica or gentle hydrators to keep redness and irritation calm.
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, as it lacks heavy or harsh ingredients that typically trigger irritation. Because it gently exfoliates and smooths texture, a mild tingling sensation may occasionally happen. Sensitive skin often needs soothing and hydrating ingredients like thermal water and glycerin to keep the skin calm and comfortable.
Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It contains fragrance (parfum) and drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
