Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin, as grape seed oil and grape fruit water provide some emollient action, but the formula lacks sufficient seboregulating ingredients to optimally address your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
  • The product provides excellent moisturizing due to glycerin and grape seed oil, which hydrate and nourish your skin, but these benefits are not directly relevant to your primary concerns.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing Centella Asiatica Extract and Vitis Vinifera Fruit Water.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using the creamy mask 3 times a week and slowly move to daily use.
  • Apply the creamy mask after your cleanser and toner, but right before your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently smooth a thin layer of the creamy mask over your face. Avoid any harsh rubbing motions.
  • Apply the creamy mask evenly on clean and dry skin for the best results against blemishes. Let it sit comfortably without rushing the process.
  • Always avoid the delicate eye area. Do a quick patch test before your very first application to check for safety.

People Say

★4.8Overall rating based on 100+ reviews

This mask is widely praised as a "rescue" treatment for dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin, effectively soothing redness and restoring moisture without causing irritation. Users frequently report waking up to softer, plumper, and "glowing" skin when using it as an overnight treatment, though a minority find the floral scent too strong or the texture difficult to absorb.

Questions and answers

How well does Vinosource-Hydra Moisturizing Mask work for oily acne-prone skin?

This mask works moderately well for oily acne-prone skin, providing nice moisture and soothing comfort with ingredients like glycerin and Centella Asiatica extract, but it lacks enough oil-controlling ingredients to manage breakouts. A nourishing mask for this skin type needs oil-balancing and blemish-clearing ingredients like niacinamide or ceramides to keep skin clear.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for oily acne-prone skin?

Centella Asiatica Extract and Vitis Vinifera Fruit Water make this mask a good fit for oily acne-prone skin because they soothe skin without causing irritation. However, a nourishing mask for this skin needs oil-controlling and mattifying ingredients, along with soothing agents that target blemishes and breakouts.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What do Grape Polyphenols do for oily acne-prone skin?

Grape polyphenols help oily acne-prone skin by reducing excess oil production and calming inflammation. Because they are powerful antioxidants, they also protect the skin from everyday damage and help keep pores clear.

Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2019International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2022

What does Centella Asiatica Extract do for oily acne-prone skin?

Centella Asiatica Extract helps calm red spots and supports skin healing in oily, acne-prone skin. It may also help balance moisture and reduce breakouts by soothing irritated areas.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Molecules, 2023

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

This mask works for your oily acne-prone skin, though other products fit it better because it lacks enough oil-controlling ingredients to manage breakouts. To properly care for oily, acne-prone skin, this type of product needs oil-balancing and blemish-clearing ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide.

Can I use this mask with hyaluronic acid, and in what order?

You can use this mask along with hyaluronic acid by applying your hyaluronic acid product first on damp skin, followed by the mask to lock in hydration. This approach is very safe and unlikely to cause irritation for your oily skin, though an oily acne-prone skin type needs oil-balancing and blemish-clearing ingredients to properly manage breakouts.

How often should I use this mask?

You can use this mask weekly as part of your routine for oily acne-prone skin. Because your skin needs oil-controlling ingredients to manage breakouts, this nourishing mask works best alongside targeted treatments that help clear pores.

Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily acne-prone skin?

This mask is unlikely to cause irritation on oily skin, but it provides only an average fit because it lacks enough oil-controlling ingredients to manage breakouts. Oily acne-prone skin needs lightweight, balancing ingredients that regulate excess oil and help clear blemishes.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Molecules, 2023

Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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