Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate nourishing effects for your oily skin due to carrot seed oil and beta-carotene, which hydrate and improve skin texture, but lacks sufficient ingredients for strong seboregulation to address oily shine.
  • Caprylic Capric Triglyceride provides emollient action, offering general skincare benefits that are mostly supportive rather than directly targeting your oily skin concerns.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your sheet mask 3 times a week and increase if your skin likes it.
  • Apply your sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer.
  • Place the sheet mask smoothly over your face and gently press it down without rubbing.
  • Put the mask on clean and slightly dry skin for the best results and comfort.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a simple patch test before using it for the first time.

Questions and answers

Why does Lovi advise caution with SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Daily Mask for oily skin?

Lovi advises caution because this nourishing mask offers only moderate hydration for oily skin and lacks enough ingredients to control oily shine. A product of this type for oily skin needs ingredients that help balance oil production and provide light texture without adding excess oil.

Life, 2023Experimental Dermatology, 2011

Which ingredients make this mask a poor fit for oily skin?

This mask is a poor fit because it lacks enough ingredients that control excess oil and shine. To work well for oily skin, a product of this type needs ingredients that help balance oil production and keep the skin clear without clogging pores.

What does Carrot Seed Oil do for oily skin?

Carrot seed oil helps calm oily skin while offering antioxidant protection and mild sun defense. It is unlikely to feel heavy, though certain types of botanical oils may carry a risk of irritation when exposed to sunlight. Oily skin works best with lightweight formulas that balance moisture without clogging pores.

Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2019Journal of Pharmacopuncture, 2021

What does Beta-Carotene do for oily skin?

Beta-carotene helps oily skin by acting as a surface antioxidant that protects against environmental damage. It is unlikely to feel heavy, making it a suitable addition to your routine to keep skin calm.

Experimental Dermatology, 2011

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

This mask offers moderate hydration for oily skin, but an oily routine needs ingredients that control shine and balance oil production.

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

You should use caution when using this nourishing mask with retinol on oily skin, applying it after your retinol treatment has fully absorbed. Because this mask lacks ingredients that help control oil and shine, oily skin needs products that balance oil production while keeping pores clear.

How often should I use this mask?

This mask may not be the best fit for your oily skin because it lacks ingredients to control shine, so a product of this type needs balancing ingredients like clay or salicylic acid to help manage excess oil. If you still choose to use it, limit application to once a week to avoid weighing down your skin.

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

This mask is a poor match for oily skin because it lacks strong ingredients to control oil, so an oily skin type needs oil-balancing ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to help keep pores clear. While it is unlikely to cause purging since it does not speed up cell turnover, its rich oils and emulsifiers may feel too heavy and could lead to clogged pores.

Life, 2023Experimental Dermatology, 2011

Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.

What the research says

  • Topical beta-carotene provided protection for the human skin of healthy volunteers against IR radiation by acting as a superficial antioxidant, though dermal carotenoid degradation was significantly higher for standard infrared radiator than for water filter infrared irradiation.

    Experimental Dermatology, 2011
  • Pre-treatment with beta-carotene at 1.5 microM modulated UVA-induced gene regulation in HaCaT human keratinocytes through multiple mechanisms not restricted to singlet oxygen quenching, reducing the effect for 143 genes and enhancing it for 180 out of 568 UVA-regulated genes.

    The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2005
  • Alginate hydrogel dressings co-loaded with cinnamon-mediated silver nanoparticles, beta-carotene nanocarriers, and Centella asiatica extract demonstrated antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli over a 24-h period while mitigating silver-induced cytotoxicity and oxidative stress in human keratinocyte cells.

    Gels, 2025
  • A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.

    Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
  • The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.

    Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020
  • Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.
