The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for France.

Brand: [Avène](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/brands/avene)
Category: [Face masks](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/best/face-masks)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with oily skin: shine, enlarged pores, blackheads, and blemishes. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for oily skin; the nourishing masks alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing for your oily skin due to caprylic capric triglyceride and Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil, which hydrate and nourish without exacerbating oiliness.
- While it provides general skincare benefits, the formula lacks sufficient ingredients for effective seboregulation, meaning it won't directly address your oily shine concerns.

## What the research says

- Balneotherapy with thermal water altered specific skin microbiota at genus and species levels in healthy female volunteers compared to tap water, which produced no significant microbiome changes. ([Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36983902/))
- Malaysian thermal spring water as an adjunct to standard acne therapy improved skin hydration, reduced dryness and stinging, enhanced overall tolerability, and improved the acne disability index in patients with mild to moderate acne. ([The Medical Journal of Malaysia, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38553920/))
- A 2% Sphingomonas xenophaga ferment extract cream applied twice daily for 4 weeks significantly decreased facial vascular disorder scores compared to vehicle in 86 Caucasian female subjects, alongside dose-dependent inhibition of pre-kallikrein activity in vitro. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40545753/))
- Safflower oil body-human epidermal growth factor microgel emulsions mixed with xanthan gum enhance transdermal absorption, regulate inflammation, accelerate angiogenesis, and promote re-epithelialization and remodeling in full-layer skin wounds in rats. ([International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36126813/))
- A topical serum containing vitamin C, vitamin E, and raspberry leaf cell culture extract improved skin color, elasticity, radiance, smoothness, scaliness, and wrinkles compared to the untreated contralateral side in fifty female volunteers. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31975502/))

- Topical application of an emollient emulsion containing 15.0% caprylic/capric triglyceride doubled the amount of urocanic acid isomers and increased skin hydration with reduced transepidermal water loss in healthy subjects, though it did not prevent ultraviolet-induced urocanic acid isomerization. ([Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/))

## Why other nourishing masks fit oily skin better

- A moisturizing cream containing 2% l-carnitine and 5% EGCG significantly reduced sebum levels and improved skin hydration in ninety subjects with seborrhea over 4 weeks, showing greater anti-sebum efficacy in the combination group compared to the l-carnitine group alone. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37194909/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is Avène Soothing Radiance Mask a weak match for oily skin?

Avène Soothing Radiance Mask is a weak match for your oily skin because its formula lacks sufficient ingredients for effective oil control and shine management. A nourishing mask for oily skin needs ingredients that help regulate oil production and provide mattifying benefits without clogging pores.
Sources: [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/)

### Which ingredients make this mask a poor fit for oily skin?

This mask is a weak match for oily skin because it lacks oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine. To work well for oily skin, a product of this type needs mattifying agents and ingredients that balance oil production while keeping pores clear.
Sources: [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/)

### What does Avene Thermal Spring Water do for oily skin?

Avène Thermal Spring Water helps calm oily skin that is undergoing acne treatments by reducing discomfort, stinging, and dryness. It is well tolerated and may improve skin hydration while supporting standard acne care.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17348993/), [The Medical Journal of Malaysia, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38553920/)

### What does Safflower Seed Oil do for oily skin?

Safflower seed oil is a poor fit for oily skin because it tends to clog pores and feel heavy. A product for oily skin needs lightweight, balancing ingredients that control excess shine without trapping oil.

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

This nourishing mask is a weak match for oily skin because it lacks ingredients that control shine, so oily skin types need ingredients that balance oil and regulate shine instead. When you do use a mask, place it in your weekly routine after cleansing and exfoliating and before toning and moisturizing.

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

You can use this mask alongside retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help keep your skin comfortable and hydrated. This type of routine benefits from ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide to support the skin barrier while managing oil.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22648223/)

### How often should I use this mask?

This mask is a weak fit for oily skin because it lacks ingredients that balance oil production, leaving your shine unchecked. To keep oily skin balanced and clear, a mask of this type needs oil-absorbing minerals, purifying clays, or ingredients that help control excess sebum.

### Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

Yes, this mask may clog pores and cause breakouts for oily skin, as reviewers note and the formula contains heavier oils and mineral oil that can leave a greasy residue. Oily skin of this type needs a mask with lightweight, oil-controlling ingredients like salicylic acid or clay to help balance shine without heavy oils.
Sources: [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/)

### Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum).
