Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your combination skin as Centella Asiatica Extract and Glycerin provide anti-inflammatory and humectant actions, respectively, which hydrate and soothe your acne and blemishes.
- The formula lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas, and while it offers general hydration and soothing benefits, these are mostly supportive and not targeted for your specific concerns.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your combination skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your PM routine. Start using your sheet mask 3 times a week, and build up to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply your sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer. Relax with it on for ten to fifteen minutes.
- Take the sheet mask out and gently smooth it over your face so it fits well. Pat any leftover essence into your skin without rubbing.
- Put the sheet mask on clean and dry skin for the best comfort. This helps your pores take in all the good ingredients.
- Avoid getting the product too close to your sensitive eye area. Do a small patch test before your very first use to stay safe.

Questions and answers
How well does SKIN1004 Watergel Sheet Ampoule Mask work for acne-prone skin?
This mask is an average fit for acne-prone skin because its centella extract and glycerin help soothe and hydrate breakouts, though it lacks strong oil control for oily areas. A product of this type needs effective hydrating and acne-fighting ingredients like Niacinamide and Ceramide Np, along with calming agents, to properly balance combination and acne-prone skin.
Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for acne-prone skin?
Centella Asiatica Extract and glycerin help soothe blemishes and hydrate acne-prone skin, while having a very low risk of irritation. To work best for this skin, a mask of this type needs effective oil control ingredients and targeted acne-fighting components like niacinamide and ceramides.
Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
What does Centella Asiatica Extract do for acne-prone skin?
Centella asiatica extract helps calm angry skin, reduces redness, and supports healing for breakouts. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may improve overall skin clarity when used consistently.
Molecules, 2023Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2020
What does Hyaluronic Acid do for acne-prone skin?
Hyaluronic acid helps acne-prone skin by soothing irritation, calming redness, and keeping the skin balanced without clogging pores. When combined with targeted ingredients like zinc oxide, it may also help reduce breakouts.
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?
This nourishing mask fits into a weekly routine for acne-prone skin, used after cleansing and before toning and moisturizing. It helps hydrate and soothe blemishes with Centella Asiatica Extract and glycerin, though this skin type also needs ingredients for oil control.
Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask in the same routine as retinol by applying the mask first to calm and hydrate your skin, followed by your retinol treatment once the mask essence absorbs. This approach helps soothe potential dryness from retinol, though acne-prone skin also needs targeted oil-control ingredients to work best.
How often should I use this mask?
You can use this mask weekly as a supportive step in your routine for acne-prone skin, as it helps calm and hydrate with Centella Asiatica Extract and glycerin. To truly manage acne and balance oily areas, this skin needs targeted oil control ingredients and active treatments.
Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Molecules, 2023
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?
This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts because it is free of harsh ingredients, though it may leave a sticky residue. A product for this skin needs strong oil control ingredients alongside soothing extracts to truly manage breakouts.
Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Molecules, 2023
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
