Works for dry skin; other nourishing masks fit it better.
This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with dry skin: flakiness, tightness, dehydration, fine lines, and wrinkles. For scores and recommendations based on your full skin profile, including your 12D face scan results and any goals or preferences you have, please use the Lovi app.
Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration for your dry skin, as glycerin and rice ferment filtrate provide humectant benefits to nourish and moisturize. Rice bran oil further supports skin barrier function, though it is not specialized for significant improvement of flakiness.
- The formula is safe for your dry skin, containing no harsh or prohibited ingredients that would cause irritation.
- This product provides general hydration benefits suitable for dry or flaky skin.
How to apply
- Use your sheet mask PM or AM whenever your skin feels dry. Start 3 times a week and increase if your skin likes it.
- Place the sheet mask on your face after cleansing and toner, and before moisturizer.
- Unfold the sheet mask and smooth it gently over your face without rubbing. Relax for ten minutes and let the essence soak in.
- Put the sheet mask on clean and slightly damp skin for the best hydration boost. Pat the remaining liquid softly into your skin.
- Avoid getting the essence too close to your eyes. Do a quick patch test before your very first use.
People Say
★4.5Overall rating based on 300+ reviewsThis sheet mask is widely praised by users with dry and combination skin for its ability to deeply hydrate and plump the skin, often leaving it feeling "freshly polished." While marketed for pore care, results on minimizing pores are mixed; many users report a temporary reduction in pore visibility due to the intense hydration, though some see no long-term change.

Questions and answers
How well does Keana Nadeshiko Rice Mask work for dry skin?
Keana Nadeshiko Rice Mask works moderately well for dry skin, offering basic moisture through glycerin and rice ferment filtrate along with rice bran oil to support the skin barrier. While it is safe and provides general hydration, a nourishing mask for dry skin needs more advanced hydrating ingredients, collagen, and barrier-repairing agents to significantly improve flakiness and maintain optimal moisture levels.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for dry skin?
Glycerin and rice ferment filtrate help this mask fit your dry skin by providing moderate hydration, while rice bran oil supports your skin barrier. To fit dry skin even better, a nourishing mask needs high concentrations of effective hydrating ingredients and barrier-repairing components like collagen, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011
What does Domestic Rice do for dry skin?
Domestic Rice helps dry skin by keeping it soft and improving hydration. It may also support the skin barrier to lock in moisture and reduce roughness.
Rinsho Byori. The Japanese Journal of Clinical Pathology, 2007Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2011
What does Rice Extract do for dry skin?
Rice extract helps nourish dry skin by boosting hydration and keeping it soft and smooth. It also helps lock in moisture and calm irritation, making the skin less rough and flaky.
Pharmaceutical Biology, 2012Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2011
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for dry skin?
This mask goes into the weekly routine for dry skin, where it is used after cleansing and before treatments and moisturizers. It helps nourish and moisturize dry skin with glycerin and rice ferment filtrate, though dry skin generally needs richer ingredients like ceramides or heavier oils to truly soften and lock in moisture.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this nourishing mask in your weekly routine alongside retinol treatments, applying the mask first to hydrate your skin before your treatment. This formula is unlikely to cause irritation on dry skin, but dry skin often needs richer barrier-repairing ingredients to fully address flakiness.
How often should I use this mask?
You can use this nourishing mask once a week as part of your weekly routine for dry skin. This product offers moderate hydration, but a product of this type needs richer oils and deeper barrier-repair ingredients to fully resolve dryness and flakiness.
Health Science Reports, 2021Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?
This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for dry skin, as its formula contains no harsh or heavy ingredients that typically block pores. It is generally safe for your dry skin and unlikely to cause irritation.
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (alcohol).
What the research says
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, 2017A rice bran oil nanoemulsion formulated using low energy methods showed low irritation potential in vitro and improved skin moisture while maintaining normal skin pH in human volunteers during in vivo assessments.
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011Topical gel and cream formulations containing niosomes entrapped with rice bran bioactive compounds improved skin hydration, lightening, thickness, roughness, and elasticity in 30 human volunteers over 28 days compared to baseline.

Why other nourishing masks fit dry skin better
Topical dexpanthenol formulated in lipophilic vehicles improved stratum corneum hydration and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control in humans.
Arzneimittel-Forschung, 2000Topical dexpanthenol acts as a moisturizer, improves stratum corneum hydration, accelerates wound healing and epidermal regeneration, reduces erythema, and improves symptoms of skin irritation compared to vehicle or no pretreatment.
