Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin, as Vitis Vinifera Fruit Water and Centella Asiatica Extract provide hydration and antioxidant benefits without being overly occlusive. Glycerin and grape seed oil further hydrate and nourish your skin, supporting overall skin health.
  • While the product offers excellent moisturizing, it lacks specialized ingredients to directly control oily shine, which is your main goal.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

How to apply

  • Use this creamy mask PM once a week to start, then increase frequency if your skin feels good.
  • Apply this creamy mask after cleansing and toner, but before your moisturizer.
  • Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask gently over your face, avoiding any harsh rubbing.
  • Put the creamy mask on clean and completely dry skin for the best results against oily shine.
  • Make sure to avoid the sensitive eye area and do a quick patch test before using it the first time.

People Say

★4.8Overall rating based on 100+ reviews

This mask is widely praised as a "rescue" treatment for dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin, effectively soothing redness and restoring moisture without causing irritation. Users frequently report waking up to softer, plumper, and "glowing" skin when using it as an overnight treatment, though a minority find the floral scent too strong or the texture difficult to absorb.

Questions and answers

How well does Caudalie Vinosource-Hydra Moisturizing Mask work for oily skin?

This mask works reasonably well for oily skin by providing light hydration and soothing benefits without clogging pores or causing irritation, but it lacks the mattifying ingredients needed to control excess shine. Oily skin works best with nourishing masks that include clay or other oil-absorbing ingredients to reduce shine while keeping skin balanced.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

Grape fruit water and centella asiatica extract make this mask a good fit for oily skin because they hydrate and calm without feeling heavy. Oily skin also needs ingredients that help control shine and reduce excess oil.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What do Grape Polyphenols do for oily skin?

Grape polyphenols help protect oily skin from everyday damage and excess oil buildup. They also soothe the skin and help keep pores clear so your face feels fresh and balanced throughout the day.

What does Centella Asiatica Extract do for oily skin?

Centella Asiatica Extract helps calm redness and keeps oily skin feeling balanced by soothing irritation and supporting moisture levels. It is unlikely to feel heavy, and products of this type for oily skin need ingredients that control excess shine while maintaining hydration.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Molecules, 2023

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

This mask fits into a weekly routine as an occasional nourishing step, though other products may suit oily skin better because this formula lacks ingredients to control oily shine. An ideal product of this type for oily skin needs balancing ingredients that absorb excess oil and mattify the skin.

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

You can use this mask along with hyaluronic acid by applying your hyaluronic acid product first on damp skin, followed by the mask to lock in the hydration. This combination helps keep your skin soft and comfortable, as the ingredients work together to boost moisture without feeling too heavy.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

How often should I use this mask?

You can use this nourishing mask once or twice a week as an extra step in your routine to keep your skin hydrated and calm. Because your skin is oily, this type of product works best when it also includes ingredients that help control shine and balance oil.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021

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

This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for oily skin, as it has a very safe formula with soothing ingredients and no harsh additives. However, because it lacks specialized ingredients to control shine, oily skin often needs oil-absorbing minerals or lightweight, clarifying ingredients like clay or salicylic acid to stay clear.

Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum).
