Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Low suitability for oily skin as Hydrogenated Polyisobutene and Carthamus Tinctorius Seed Oil provide emollient action that may exacerbate oiliness, while glycerin and hyaluronic acid offer hydration irrelevant to your oily shine concern.
- The formula's primary function is lip care, offering moderate moisturizing benefits that do not align with your specific facial skin needs.
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.
People Say
★4.6Overall rating based on 10.0k+ reviewsThis overnight mask is widely praised for its ability to dissolve dead skin cells and deeply hydrate, leaving lips baby soft and plump by morning. While the rich, glossy texture and sweet berry scent are major hits, some users find it acts more as a temporary barrier than a long-term cure for chronic dryness. This summary is based on a very large amount of data and should definitely be taken into account.

Questions and answers
Why does Lovi advise caution with Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask for oily skin?
Lovi advises caution because its heavy oils may increase oily shine and its hydration does not match your facial skin needs. A product for this skin needs soothing and nourishing ingredients, calming extracts, and lighter textures that promote a balanced complexion without clogging pores.
Which ingredients make this mask a poor fit for oily skin?
Hydrogenated polyisobutene and safflower seed oil make this mask a poor fit because they provide heavy softening action that may worsen oily shine, while the glycerin and hyaluronic acid add hydration your skin does not need. To work well for oily skin, a product of this type needs calming extracts, brightening agents, and lightweight, non-clogging ingredients that help control shine.
What does Water do for oily skin?
Water helps keep oily skin hydrated without adding grease or clogging pores. Keeping oily skin properly hydrated may also help balance oil production and reduce unwanted shine.
What does Butylene Glycol do for oily skin?
Butylene glycol helps deliver active ingredients deeper into the skin and is unlikely to clog pores, making it useful for keeping oily skin balanced and smooth. It helps other ingredients penetrate effectively while maintaining a lightweight feel.
Journal of Controlled Release, 2022European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2008
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This mask is not a good fit for oily skin because its heavy oils may make your shine worse, and this type of skin needs lightweight hydrators and oil-balancing ingredients instead.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
Exercise caution using this nourishing mask on oily skin, as heavy ingredients like hydrogenated polyisobutene and safflower seed oil may make extra shine worse. An oily skin type needs lightweight, oil-free hydration and barrier-balancing ingredients instead.
How often should I use this mask?
This product is a poor match for oily skin because its heavy oils may increase oiliness, so it is best to avoid using it on your face. Oily skin needs lightweight hydration and balancing ingredients that control excess shine without clogging pores.
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This mask may feel too heavy and make oily skin more prone to shine or breakouts because it contains rich oils and sealing ingredients made for lips rather than facial skin. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydration and gentle clearing ingredients to stay smooth and balanced without feeling heavy.
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying 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, 2017Application of an o/w emulsion containing 8% hydrogenated polyisobutene significantly elevated skin moisture, reduced TEWL by approximately 33% against a control formulation within 3 hours, and was 5-10% more effective than the CCT formulation.
Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2009The 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, 2020Ten 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.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.
