Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate benefits for your oily shine and combination skin, as rice ferment filtrate and sake ferment filtrate help absorb excess oil and refine pores.
- The formula is highly suitable for your combination skin, with rice ferment filtrate and glycerin providing humectant action, while rice bran oil and squalane offer emollient benefits.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like rice ferment filtrate and glycerin.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your creamy mask 3x a week and work up to daily use if your skin tolerates it.
- Apply your creamy mask after cleansing and toning, but before your moisturizer to lock in benefits. This step fits nicely right in the middle of your daily routine.
- Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask gently over your face, avoiding any unnecessary heavy rubbing. Let it sit for a few minutes ⏱ so your skin can drink it in.
- Apply the creamy mask on clean and dry skin to help manage oily shine effectively. This ensures the product works best for your combination skin type.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a simple patch test before your very first use to make sure your skin is happy.
