Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate firming and lifting benefits for your normal skin due to acetyl hexapeptide-8 and dipalmitoyl hydroxyproline, which support visible anti-aging effects without overwhelming your skin.
  • Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide essential hydration for normal skin, while Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate offers soothing properties, though targeted ingredients for redness and irritation are absent.
  • The product is safe for your normal skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and contains soothing components.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start applying this creamy mask 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply this creamy mask after cleansing and toner, but before your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently spread a thin layer of the creamy mask onto your face, avoiding any rubbing to protect your delicate skin.
  • Since your skin is sensitive, apply this creamy mask on completely dry skin for better comfort and tolerance.
  • Do a patch test before your first use and always avoid the immediate eye area.

People Say

★4.4Overall rating based on 300+ reviews

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

This nourishing mask goes into your weekly routine step after cleansing and an enzyme powder.
