Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for oily skin, as Lactobacillus Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate and Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil provide nourishing and firming effects to enhance barrier resilience. Glycerin and Bisabolol offer general hydration and soothing benefits, which are supportive but not directly targeted at reducing oily shine.
- While the formula is safe for your oily skin with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients, it lacks sufficient seboregulating components to strongly address your main concern of oily shine.
- The product is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use this creamy mask PM once a week to start, then increase frequency if your skin feels good.
- Apply this creamy mask after cleansing and toner, but before your moisturizer.
- Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask gently over your face, avoiding any harsh rubbing.
- Put the creamy mask on clean and completely dry skin for the best results against oily shine.
- Make sure to avoid the sensitive eye area and do a quick patch test before using it the first time.

Questions and answers
How well does Yunjac Firming & Nourishing Mask work for oily skin?
This mask works reasonably well for oily skin, though other products fit it better because it lacks ingredients to control oily shine. A product of this type needs ingredients that target oily shine while keeping the skin clear and balanced without adding extra oil.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2014
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for oily skin?
Lactobacillus Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate and Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil make this mask a fit by providing nourishing and firming effects that help build barrier strength, while glycerin and bisabolol offer general hydration and soothing benefits. A product of this type needs ingredients that control oily shine and regulate oil to best suit oily skin.
Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2014Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
What does Sea Buckthorn Oil do for oily skin?
Sea buckthorn oil helps balance oily skin while keeping it hydrated and protected without feeling heavy. Because this type of oil can sometimes be too rich for oily skin, formulations of this type need lightweight ingredients and non-greasy textures to keep pores clear and skin smooth.
What does Lactobacillus Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate do for oily skin?
Lactobacillus Ginseng Root Ferment Filtrate helps balance oily skin by improving the skin barrier and keeping it calm and hydrated. Because it is a fermented ingredient, it supports a healthy skin surface and is unlikely to cause irritation. An oily skin type needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that keep the skin clear and calm without feeling heavy.
Scientific Reports, 2023Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2023
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This mask works well for oily skin, though other products fit this skin type better. Oily skin needs a nourishing mask of this type to include ingredients that help balance oil production while keeping the skin calm.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can safely use this nourishing mask with retinol, applying the mask after your retinol treatment as the last step in your routine to lock in moisture. The formula is safe for your oily skin and helps soothe and hydrate, though oily skin ultimately needs oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine.
How often should I use this mask?
This nourishing mask works safely on oily skin, though it lacks the oil-controlling ingredients needed to tackle shine directly. A product of this type needs balancing ingredients like niacinamide or clay to help regulate excess oil.
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This mask is unlikely to cause irritation on oily skin, but it may leave a heavy residue since it is not specifically designed to control excess oil and shine. Oily skin works best with lightweight formulas containing oil-absorbing minerals or clarifying acids to keep pores clear.
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum, hexyl cinnamal, limonene, and linalool).
