Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your normal skin as pumpkin fruit extract offers moderate exfoliation to aid in skin cell turnover and address pigmentation, while vitamin E tocopheryl acetate provides antioxidant activity.
- The formulation is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients.
- This mask provides moderate exfoliation, which is beneficial for smoothing texture and improving pigmentation.
How to apply
- Use this cleansing mask once a week to start, and increase frequency only if your skin feels fine.
- Apply the cleansing mask in your weekly routine after the cleanser and enzyme powder, but before the hydrating toner.
- Spread an even layer over your face while carefully avoiding the delicate eye area.
- Apply the cleansing mask to clean and dry skin for the best and most comfortable results.
- Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid combining it with strong acids.
People Say
★4.9Overall rating based on 2.2k+ reviewsThis mask is widely celebrated for its "pumpkin spice" scent and self-warming, spa-like application that leaves skin feeling notably softer and hydrated. While many users with dullness and congestion report a glowing complexion and cleaner pores, those with highly sensitive skin occasionally experience irritation or find the fragrance too strong. This summary is based on a very large amount of data and should definitely be taken into account.

What does Pumpkin Enzyme do for skin with dark spots?
Pumpkin Enzyme helps exfoliate the top layer of skin to make dark spots less noticeable over time. It gently removes dead skin cells to reveal smoother and brighter skin underneath.
What does Glycerin do for skin with dark spots?
Glycerin helps keep dry skin hydrated and supports a healthy skin barrier, which makes skin feel soft and smooth. While it does not directly fade dark spots on its own, it is often added to spot-fading products to keep the skin comfortable while other ingredients work.
