Brand: NEOGEN
Category: [Face masks](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/best/face-masks)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with sensitive skin: redness, stinging, and reactions to new products. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for sensitive skin; other cleansing masks fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for normal skin as kaolin and charcoal powder provide mild absorption and purification, while glycerin offers some hydration. The inclusion of Canadian colloidal clay and charcoal powder effectively decongests pores, which is supportive for your redness and irritation.
- The formula contains soothing ingredients like Guaiazulene and Chamomilla Recutita Extract, which are beneficial for sensitive skin and help manage redness and irritation.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

## Questions and answers

### How well does NEOGEN Canadian Clay Pore Stick Mask work for sensitive skin?

This cleansing mask works reasonably well for sensitive skin, though other products fit it better. It contains soothing ingredients that help calm redness and irritation, but a cleansing mask for this skin needs gentle purifying ingredients alongside rich hydrating agents to maintain comfort without causing dryness.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for sensitive skin?

This mask works for sensitive skin because it contains calming ingredients like Guaiazulene and Chamomilla Recutita extract that help manage redness and irritation. A cleansing mask for this skin needs soothing plant extracts and gentle purifying agents that calm redness without causing irritation.

### What does Canadian Colloidal Clay do for sensitive skin?

Canadian Colloidal Clay helps draw out impurities while soothing sensitive skin and keeping it calm and soft. Clay masks of this type need gentle, hydrating ingredients to avoid drying out sensitive skin.

### What does Charcoal Powder do for sensitive skin?

Charcoal powder deep cleans by drawing out dirt and oil, but it can be too harsh for sensitive skin. Sensitive skin needs gentle, fragrance-free cleansers with soothing ingredients and mild synthetic detergents that do not strip away natural moisture or cause irritation.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29231284/)

### Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This cleansing mask is not part of the standard daily routine for sensitive skin, so a product of this type needs gentle clays and calming plant extracts to purify pores without causing irritation.

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

This cleansing mask is an average fit for your sensitive skin because it helps decongest pores while soothing irritation, though a mask of this type needs extra calming components and gentle hydrators to fully protect sensitive skin. It is unlikely to cause irritation when used in the same routine as retinol, but you should apply the mask first on a separate night or rinse it thoroughly before your retinol step to keep your skin calm.

### How often should I use this mask?

This cleansing mask works for sensitive skin, though other products fit it better and a product of this type needs gentle clays and soothing ingredients to calm redness without drying. It is best used as a weekly step in your routine.

### Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?

This cleansing mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on sensitive skin due to its safe ingredients and gentle purifying clays. However, because it only offers an average fit, sensitive skin needs a product of this type that balances deep pore purification with extra hydration and barrier-strengthening ingredients to prevent dryness.

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

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (citronellol, geraniol, limonene, and linalool).
