Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • High suitability for your oily skin is provided by niacinamide for seboregulation and glycerin for humectant action, though it does not specifically target your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
  • The formula offers excellent hydration due to high concentrations of glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, and panthenol, which support overall skin health.
  • 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 components like Centella Asiatica Extract and Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract.

How to apply

  • Use your sheet mask PM routine about 1-3 times a week to help with breakouts. Start slowly to see how your oily skin feels before using it more often.
  • Put on your sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before applying your final moisturizer. This helps your skin absorb all the good ingredients easily.
  • Unfold the sheet mask and smooth it gently over your face without rubbing. Leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes ⏱ and gently pat any leftover essence into your skin.
  • Apply the sheet mask directly onto clean and dry skin for the best results against blemishes. There is no need to wash your face again after removing the mask.
  • Avoid getting the product into your eyes and always do a quick patch test before your very first use.

It is also frequently praised for its generous amount of essence and a non-sticky finish that absorbs well.
