Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin, as niacinamide helps regulate sebum and glycerin provides hydration, though it lacks stronger mattifying ingredients for optimal oil control.

  • The formula is safe for your oily skin, with no harsh ingredients or irritation risks.

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.

Questions and answers

How well does Eve Lom White Brightening Mask work for oily skin?

This mask works moderately well for oily skin, as niacinamide helps regulate oil while glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide hydration, though it lacks stronger mattifying ingredients for optimal shine control. An oily skin type needs products with stronger mattifying ingredients and oil-absorbing minerals to better manage excess shine and keep pores clear.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

Niacinamide helps regulate sebum while glycerin provides hydration, and ascorbyl glucoside along with licorice root extract supports brightening to address oily shine. To work best for oily skin, a mask of this type needs stronger mattifying ingredients for optimal oil control.

Journal of Periodontology, 2009International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2024

What does Niacinamide do for oily skin?

Niacinamide helps balance oily skin by significantly reducing excess oil production and shine. It is well tolerated and may improve skin texture without clogging pores.

Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2006Antioxidants, 2021

What does Ascorbyl Glucoside do for oily skin?

Ascorbyl Glucoside helps brighten skin and fade dark spots, making it a good fit for oily skin when you want a more even complexion. It is unlikely to feel heavy or greasy, but oily skin also benefits from lightweight hydrators and gentle exfoliants to keep pores clear.

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2024

Where does it go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This nourishing mask fits into your weekly routine after a cleanser and enzyme powder, followed by a hydrating toner, treatment, and moisturizer. It is safe for oily skin and helps brighten tone, though this skin type needs stronger mattifying ingredients for optimal oil control.

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

You can safely use this nourishing mask alongside retinol, applying the mask after your retinol treatment to help lock in hydration and soothe the skin. This mask offers moderate suitability for your oily skin, but oily skin requires stronger mattifying ingredients for optimal oil control.

How often should I use it?

This mask works well as part of a weekly routine for your oily skin, though other products may fit it better. To properly care for oily skin, this type of product needs ingredients that control oil and shine along with lightweight hydration.

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

This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on oily skin, as it has a safe profile with no harsh ingredients or irritation risks. Niacinamide helps regulate sebum while glycerin provides light hydration, though oily skin of this type needs stronger mattifying ingredients for optimal oil control.

Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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