This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with acne-prone skin: breakouts, blackheads, and post-acne marks. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A poor match for acne-prone skin; the cleansing masks alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation and pore-clearing benefits for your acne, blemishes, and breakouts due to the presence of volcanic ash and lactic acid in concentrations that provide mild pore refinement and skin renewal.
- The formula is suitable for combination skin, with volcanic ash and kaolin helping to manage excess sebum, but it lacks sufficient humectants like glycerin for optimal hydration.

## What the research says

- Vectorization of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid with clay enabled its penetration into deeper skin layers and led to a significant clinical reduction in fine lines in the crow's feet area compared to placebo after 28 days. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38591218/))
- Twice-weekly use of a clay mask over 4 weeks in 75 adults with oily or combination skin improved acne-related outcomes, sebum content, skin evenness, hydration, and reduced dryness and irritation. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38009030/))
- Clay jojoba oil facial masks reduced total skin lesions by a mean of 54% after 6 weeks in 133 participants with acne-prone, lesioned skin and mild acne compared to baseline. ([Forschende Komplementarmedizin, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22585103/))
- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- A functional cosmetic cream containing bioactive materials from Streptomyces sp. T65 embedded in SBA-15 decreased skin roughness by 4.670% and increased skin brightness by 0.472% after 4 weeks of application, while demonstrating antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-aging, and whitening activities. ([Antioxidants, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32224894/))
- Film-forming formulations containing porous silica achieved skin permeation rates comparable to immediate release formulations while confirming prolonged drug availability and causing no skin irritation in healthy volunteers. ([European Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28546105/))
- Topical treatment with silica mud and microalgae extracts from the Blue Lagoon improved skin barrier function by inducing epidermal gene expression and reducing transepidermal water loss in healthy humans, while preventing skin aging markers in vitro. ([Experimental Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18312388/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask 2X for acne-prone skin?

Lovi advises caution because this clay mask may dry out acne-prone skin while lacking enough hydrating ingredients to keep it balanced. A product of this type needs acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid or zinc oxide for oil control, along with plenty of hydrating agents like glycerin to care for dry areas.

### Which ingredients make this mask a poor fit for acne-prone skin?

This mask receives a caution for acne-prone skin because it lacks enough hydrating ingredients like glycerin to balance the drying effects of its clays and exfoliants. A product for this skin needs ingredients like salicylic acid and zinc oxide for oil control alongside soothing hydrators to keep skin calm.

### What do Super Volcanic Clusters do for acne-prone skin?

Super Volcanic Clusters help soak up excess oil and clear out deep dirt in acne-prone skin, making breakouts less likely. This ingredient is unlikely to irritate dry areas when used as directed.

### What does Volcanic Ash do for acne-prone skin?

Volcanic Ash helps absorb excess oil and clear out pores, which is great for keeping acne-prone skin clean and balanced. It may also help remove dead skin cells gently, though sensitive skin types should use it carefully to avoid dryness.

### Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?

This cleansing mask is used once a week as part of a weekly evening routine, positioned after a makeup remover and cleanser, and before a hydrating toner, treatment, and moisturizer. Acne-prone skin needs a product of this type that also includes plenty of hydrating ingredients to keep the skin comfortable.

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

It is best to use this mask on a different night than your retinol to avoid making dry skin overly sensitive. A product of this type needs soothing ingredients and extra moisture to help keep acne-prone skin comfortable.

### How often should I use this mask?

This mask is a poor match for acne-prone skin, but when used, it should be limited to once a week. Because this skin needs gentle care, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients and extra moisture to prevent dryness and irritation.
