The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for the Netherlands.

Brand: [Éminence](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/brands/eminence)
Category: [Face masks](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/best/face-masks)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with oily skin: shine, enlarged pores, blackheads, and blemishes. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for oily skin; the nourishing masks alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation for your oily skin due to salicylic and lactic acids, but the presence of shea butter and calendula officinalis oil may provide too much nourishment and potentially clog pores.
- While glycerin and aloe barbadensis juice offer hydration, the formula lacks sufficient oil-controlling ingredients to effectively manage oily shine.
- The product is safe for your skin, with soothing ingredients like chamomile oil and calendula oil minimizing irritation risk.

## Questions and answers

### Why is Éminence Calm Skin Arnica Masque a weak match for oily skin?

This mask is a weak match for oily skin because heavy ingredients like shea butter and oils may add too much nourishment and potentially clog pores. It also lacks enough oil-controlling ingredients to properly manage oily shine, so an oily skin type needs a balancing formula with lightweight hydrators and ingredients that help clear excess oil without clogging pores.

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

Shea butter and calendula officinalis oil make this mask a weak match for oily skin because they may provide too much nourishment and potentially clog pores. Oily skin needs a product of this type with oil-controlling ingredients that manage shine while providing hydration without adding excess oil.

### What does Arnica Montana do for oily skin?

Arnica Montana helps calm redness and irritation that often come with oily skin. It may soothe the skin without clogging pores, keeping your face feeling comfortable throughout the day.

### What does Shea Butter do for oily skin?

Shea butter may feel too heavy for oily skin and is unlikely to be the best fit without careful testing. This skin type needs light, non-greasy moisturizers and ingredients that balance oil production without clogging pores.

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

This nourishing mask is a weak match for oily skin because heavy ingredients like shea butter and calendula oil may clog pores and lack oil control, meaning oily skin needs a lightweight, clay- or acid-based formula that clears shine without heavy oils.

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

This mask is a weak fit for your oily skin because heavy ingredients like shea butter may clog pores, and to care for oily skin it needs oil-controlling ingredients and lightweight hydration instead. If you use it with retinol, apply the mask first and follow with your retinol treatment on separate nights to minimize potential irritation from combining active ingredients.

### How often should I use this mask?

This mask is a weak match for oily skin, so it needs to focus on oil-controlling ingredients and lighter hydration rather than heavy butters that may clog pores.

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

This mask may potentially clog pores and cause breakouts on oily skin because it contains heavy rich ingredients like shea butter and oils. Oily skin works best with lightweight, oil-controlling ingredients and gentle exfoliators to keep pores clear without adding extra weight.

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

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (benzyl alcohol). Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
