Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your combination skin, as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide essential humectant action for hydration, but it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily shine areas.
- The presence of sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid offers excellent nourishing mask benefits and deep hydration, addressing general hydration needs.
- The formula is safe for your combination skin with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- You can use this sheet mask PM or AM to control oily shine. Start 3 times a week and increase if your skin likes it.
- Apply this sheet mask after cleansing and toning, and before putting on your moisturizer.
- Unfold the sheet mask and gently press it onto your face, smoothing it out without rubbing. Leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes before removing.
- Put the sheet mask on clean skin to help your face absorb the essence better. Pat any remaining liquid gently into your skin.
- Avoid getting the product too close to your eyes. Do a quick patch test before your very first use.

Questions and answers
How well does Some By Mi Glow Luminous Ampoule Mask work for combination skin?
This mask works moderately well for combination skin because glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide essential hydration, but it lacks sufficient ingredients for oil control on your shiny areas. A product of this type needs effective soothing ingredients, excellent benefits for managing oily shine, and rich extracts that balance both dry and oily areas effectively.
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for combination skin?
Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate make this mask a good fit by providing essential hydration for dry areas. To work best for combination skin, a product of this type needs additional ingredients that help manage oily shine.
What does Allantoin do for combination skin?
Allantoin helps calm sensitive areas, keep skin smooth, and support healing in combination skin. It works by regulating the skin's response and helping it recover.
What does Trehalose do for combination skin?
Trehalose helps keep combination skin hydrated and calm by holding onto moisture and protecting skin cells from daily environmental stress. It is unlikely to feel heavy, making it a great match for balancing oily and dry areas.
Skin Research and Technology, 2024Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2011
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for combination skin?
This nourishing mask fits into a weekly routine as a special treatment step after cleansing and before toning and moisturizing. Combination skin needs products that provide balanced hydration while helping to control shine in oily areas.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask in your routine, applying it after your retinol treatment to help soothe and deeply hydrate your skin. The formula is safe for your skin type with no harsh ingredients, though a product for combination skin also needs oil control ingredients for your shiny areas.
How often should I use this mask?
This nourishing mask works as an average fit for your combination skin because while it provides good hydration, it lacks enough oil-controlling ingredients for your shiny areas. To properly care for combination skin, a product of this type needs balancing ingredients that hydrate dry zones while keeping oily shine under control.
Health Science Reports, 2021Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?
This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for combination skin, as its formula avoids harsh ingredients and is safe for daily use. However, because it lacks oil-balancing ingredients, combination skin needs products that also control shine in oily areas.
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (geraniol and citronellol).
