This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with oily acne-prone skin: shine, breakouts, blemishes, and enlarged pores. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

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

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate hydration and soothing benefits for your oily skin, with ingredients like Centella Asiatica Extract and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate providing supportive, but not targeted, effects for acne and blemishes.
- The presence of Melaleuca Alternifolia Tree Oil and Citrus Nobilis Oil offers some seboregulation, but the formula lacks sufficient potent ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily skin.
- The product is safe for your oily skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica Extract and Madecassoside.

## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, users with dry and sensitive skin frequently praise these masks for their ability to provide deep hydration and soothe irritation without feeling heavy, thanks to the ultra-thin sheet. While most users report a glowing and moisturized complexion, those with oily skin sometimes find certain essence types (like the emulsion versions) slightly sticky or tacky upon drying.

## 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.

## Questions and answers

### How well does the Etude House 0.2mm Therapy Air Mask work for oily acne-prone skin?

This mask works reasonably well for your oily acne-prone skin, offering moderate hydration and soothing benefits alongside some oil control. However, because it lacks sufficient potent ingredients for optimal oil control and blemish targeting, an ideal product of this type needs strong soothing agents, effective blemish-fighting components, and powerful mattifying ingredients to keep excess shine and breakouts fully under control.
Sources: [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/), [Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37446936/)

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

Sodium Hyaluronate, Tree, Honey, Collagen, Camellia Sinensis, Centella Asiatica Extract, and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate offer moderate hydration and soothing benefits for oily skin. To truly suit this skin type, a product of this type needs effective soothing ingredients for breakouts without irritation, oil-controlling or mattifying properties, and ingredients that target inflammation and promote skin healing.
Sources: [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/), [Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32310680/)

### What does Hyaluronic Acid do for oily acne-prone skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps calm oily acne-prone skin by reducing sebum production and lipid synthesis in sebaceous glands. It also supports skin barrier function and improves hydration while helping deliver treatments without causing irritation.
Sources: [The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28163068/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35796638/)

### What does Tea Tree Oil do for oily acne-prone skin?

Tea tree oil helps target blemishes and calm redness on oily, acne-prone skin by fighting blemish-causing bacteria and reducing inflammation. It may significantly improve pimples and overall skin clarity, though it can have a slower start and a safe profile when used correctly.
Sources: [Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17314442/), [The Medical Journal of Australia, 1990](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2145499/)

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

This mask works as an extra nourishing step for oily acne-prone skin, though this skin type needs targeted oil control and blemish-fighting ingredients for a better fit.

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

You can use this mask alongside your retinol routine, applying it after your treatment step in the evening. Because this skin needs stronger oil control and targeted blemish-fighting ingredients, an effective routine for this type also requires potent acne-clearing actives like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.

### How often should I use this mask?

This nourishing mask works for your oily acne-prone skin, though other products fit it better because your skin needs targeted acne ingredients and stronger oil control.

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

This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on oily acne-prone skin, as it is free of harsh ingredients and includes calming Centella Asiatica Extract and Madecassoside. However, because it lacks strong oil-controlling ingredients, oily skin of this type needs a mask with targeted blemish-fighting and sebum-regulating ingredients.
Sources: [Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32310680/), [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/)

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

It contains fragrance (limonene and citral) and drying alcohol (ethanol).
