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.

Works for oily skin; other nourishing masks fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide excellent hydration and plumping without exacerbating oiliness. Saccharomyces ferment filtrate and camellia sinensis leaf extract offer general soothing benefits, though they do not specifically target excess oil.
- The formula is safe for your oily skin, with soothing ingredients like Rosa Damascena Oil and Avena Sativa Kernel Extract minimizing irritation risk.
- While the product provides good moisturization and is safe for your skin type, it lacks specialized ingredients to manage oily shine effectively.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask work for oily skin?

Fresh Black Tea Instant Perfecting Mask works reasonably well for oily skin, offering hydration and calming benefits without clogging pores or making skin greasy. However, because it lacks specialized ingredients to manage oily shine, an oily skin type needs a mask that includes ingredients to control excess oil and keep the complexion clear.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate make this mask a good fit for oily skin by providing hydration without adding oiliness, while soothing extracts help keep skin calm. Oily skin works best with products that use lightweight hydrators and ingredients to manage shine.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Black Tea Extract do for oily skin?

Black tea extract helps calm oily skin and keeps it feeling smooth by reducing inflammation and balancing skin oil. It is unlikely to cause irritation and supports overall skin health with its antioxidant properties.

### What does Rice Ferment Filtrate do for oily skin?

Rice Ferment Filtrate helps keep oily skin balanced by providing lightweight moisture and supporting a smooth, calm look. It works to reduce excess shine and keeps pores clear while maintaining your skin's hydration.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35587098/)

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

This mask works for oily skin as an occasional extra step, providing hydration and soothing benefits without adding heavy oiliness. However, because it lacks specialized ingredients to manage oily shine effectively, an oily skin routine needs purifying or oil-balancing ingredients like clay, charcoal, or salicylic acid.

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

You can use this mask alongside retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment as an extra layer of moisture to help keep skin calm and soft. Because this mask lacks specialized ingredients to manage oily shine effectively, oily skin needs a product that includes clay or oil-absorbing minerals to target excess oil and shine.

### How often should I use this mask?

This nourishing mask works for your oily skin with moderate suitability, providing hydration without adding extra oiliness. To manage oily shine effectively, an oily skin type needs specialized ingredients that target excess sebum.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/)

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

This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on oily skin, as its hydrating ingredients like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate add moisture without increasing oiliness. However, because it lacks specialized ingredients to manage oily shine effectively, oily skin needs lightweight formulas with oil-controlling ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

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