This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with dark spots: hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A great choice for skin with dark spots; a few cleansing masks fit it even better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation and pore cleansing suitable for your normal skin, with niacinamide and salicylic acid helping to regulate oil and clear pores. While beneficial for general skin health, these ingredients do not specifically target your primary concern of pigmentation.
- The inclusion of kaolin and bentonite clays aids in decongesting pores, providing a supportive cleansing action for your skin.
- The product is safe for your normal skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and poses no irritation risks.

### Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for skin with dark spots?

Niacinamide and salicylic acid make this mask a good fit by helping to regulate oil and clear pores on your normal skin. While these ingredients support general skin health, they do not specifically target dark spots.

### What does Niacinamide do for skin with dark spots?

Niacinamide helps fade dark spots and uneven pigmentation by slowing down the transfer of pigment in the skin. It is generally well tolerated and may improve overall skin brightness with consistent use.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12100180/), [Antioxidants, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34439563/)

### What does Saccharomyces Xylinum do for skin with dark spots?

Saccharomyces Xylinum helps smooth your skin and evens out tone to make dark spots less noticeable over time. It is generally gentle and unlikely to irritate, working gradually to give you a brighter, more even look.

### Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for skin with dark spots?

This cleansing mask goes into the weekly routine for skin with dark spots, used once a week alongside a makeup remover, cleanser, enzyme powder, nourishing mask, treatment, and moisturizer. People who tolerate exfoliating products well and see good results may carefully use them more often.

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

You can use this mask in your routine, but avoid applying it on the same nights you use retinol to prevent excessive dryness or irritation. Instead, use the mask on a separate evening, or keep it to a weekly spot treatment while continuing your regular retinol routine on alternate nights.

### How often should I use this mask?

You can use this cleansing mask once a week as part of your routine. Lovi routines start exfoliating steps once a week, and people who tolerate them well and see good results can carefully use them more often.

### Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for skin with dark spots?

This cleansing mask is unlikely to clog your pores or cause breakouts, as it contains clays and salicylic acid that help clear and decongest pores. It is also safe for your skin with no irritation risks.
