Face masks

Rated by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

A carefully chosen face mask treats your skin to an intensive burst of nutrients and hydration for a visible radiance boost, and draws out excess oil and impurities for a deep cleanse that leaves skin feeling fresh and balanced. It is used in the weekly routine. These formulas most often rely on hyaluronic acid, which supports cell health and skin hydration, glycerin, which attracts moisture, and niacinamide, which reduces the progression of skin aging and hyperpigmentation in clinical trials while being well tolerated.
