Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • This formulation is highly suitable for your normal skin, as Centella Asiatica Leaf Water and Glycerin work to repair the skin barrier and provide humectant benefits, respectively.
  • It offers excellent nourishing and soothing benefits due to Centella Asiatica Leaf Water and Sodium Hyaluronate, which hydrate and calm the skin.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your normal skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like Centella Asiatica Leaf Water and Panthenol.

How to apply

  • Use your creamy mask PM routine once a week to start, then increase frequency if your normal skin feels good. Always remember to wear SPF during the day to protect your skin.
  • Apply the creamy mask after cleansing and toning, and before your usual moisturizer. This helps lock in all the good ingredients for your skin.
  • Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask over your face while avoiding the eye area. Do not rub it in harshly.
  • Apply the creamy mask on dry skin since your skin is not sensitive and can handle active ingredients well. Let it sit for the recommended time before rinsing or patting in.
  • Always do a patch test before your first use to check for any allergic reactions. Avoid mixing this mask with strong acids in the exact same routine.

People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 1000+ reviews

This sleeping pack is widely praised as a lightweight, gel-based overnight mask that delivers deep hydration without feeling heavy or greasy, making it ideal for oily, combination, and sensitive skin types. While it excels at soothing redness and creating a "glass skin" glow by morning, users with very dry skin often find it insufficiently occlusive for winter months.
