Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate benefits for your combination skin, as Centella Asiatica Leaf Water and Glycerin provide anti-inflammatory and humectant actions, respectively, which are supportive for acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The formulation provides excellent moisturizing due to sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, which hydrate and plump the skin, though it lacks targeted ingredients for direct acne treatment.
- The safety profile is good, with no risks of irritation for your acne-prone skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like Centella Asiatica Leaf Water and Panthenol.
How to apply
- You can use this creamy mask as part of your PM routine once a week. Start 3×/week if your skin tolerates it well.
- Apply the creamy mask after cleansing and toning, but always before your moisturizer .
- Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask over your face while avoiding any harsh rubbing. Let it sit ⏱ for the recommended time before rinsing.
- Apply the creamy mask on clean and dry skin for the best results against blemishes.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a patch test before your very first use.
People Say
★4.6Overall rating based on 1000+ reviewsThis 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.

Questions and answers
How well does SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Sleeping Pack work for acne-prone skin?
This mask works reasonably well for acne-prone skin, as it provides moderate soothing and hydration without causing irritation, though it lacks direct blemish-fighting ingredients. To work best for this skin type, a product of this type needs direct acne-fighting ingredients like niacinamide or retinol alongside soothing and hydrating components.
Which ingredients make this sleeping mask a good fit for acne-prone skin?
Centella Asiatica leaf water, glycerin, sodium hyaluronate, and panthenol make this sleeping mask a good fit for acne-prone skin by helping calm breakouts and keep skin hydrated. However, because it lacks targeted ingredients for direct acne treatment like niacinamide and retinol, acne-prone skin needs a nourishing mask that includes those active components to properly care for blemishes.
What does Centella Asiatica do for acne-prone skin?
Centella asiatica helps calm acne-prone skin by reducing redness and soothing inflammation while supporting healing. It may also help manage breakouts by addressing factors like acne blemishes and irritation.
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 sleeping mask go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?
This nourishing mask goes as the last step in your evening routine to lock in moisture, since it works well for acne-prone skin while lacking targeted ingredients for direct acne treatment. Products of this type for acne-prone skin need soothing and calming ingredients along with blemish-clearing actives to give the best results.
Can I use this sleeping mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this sleeping mask with retinol by applying your retinol treatment first and following with the mask to keep your skin calm and moisturized. This type of skin needs a product that includes targeted acne-fighting ingredients alongside soothing and hydrating components like centella and ceramides.
How often should I use this sleeping mask?
This nourishing mask works as an occasional step, though an acne-prone skin type needs targeted ingredients for direct breakout treatment alongside calming and hydrating components.
Can this sleeping mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?
This sleeping mask is unlikely to cause irritation or breakouts on acne-prone skin, thanks to its soothing components and lack of harsh ingredients. However, because it lacks targeted ingredients for direct acne treatment, this skin type needs products with acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide for better results.
Is this sleeping mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
