Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate exfoliation for your oily skin due to pumpkin fruit extract, which helps smooth texture and absorb excess oil. Kaolin also aids in managing oiliness, making it generally suitable for your skin type.
- While the ingredients provide general skincare benefits like cleansing and mild exfoliation, they are not specifically targeted to address your primary concern of oily shine.
- The product has a good safety profile with no risks of irritation for your oily skin, as it lacks prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use this cleansing mask PM as part of your weekly routine, starting 1×/week and working up if tolerated.
- Apply this cleansing mask after your cleanser and enzyme powder, and before applying your hydrating toner.
- Smooth an even layer over your face using clean fingers, avoiding harsh rubbing.
- Apply this cleansing mask on clean, dry skin to help control excess oil effectively.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and always do a patch test before your first use.
People Say
★4.9Overall rating based on 2.2k+ reviewsThis mask is widely celebrated for its "pumpkin spice" scent and self-warming, spa-like application that leaves skin feeling notably softer and hydrated. While many users with dullness and congestion report a glowing complexion and cleaner pores, those with highly sensitive skin occasionally experience irritation or find the fragrance too strong. This summary is based on a very large amount of data and should definitely be taken into account.

Questions and answers
How well does DRMTLGY Pumpkin Enzyme Mask work for oily skin?
This mask offers moderate exfoliation for oily skin, helping smooth texture and manage oiliness without causing irritation, though it does not specifically target oily shine. A cleansing mask for oily skin needs pore-refining and clarifying ingredients like BHA, blue tansy, and niacinamide to effectively control excess oil and maintain clarity.
Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications, 2021Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for oily skin?
Pumpkin enzymes and kaolin make this mask a good fit for oily skin because they help smooth texture and absorb excess oil. Oily skin works best with products that effectively manage shine and refine pores using ingredients like BHA, blue tansy, and niacinamide.
What does Pumpkin Enzyme do for oily skin?
Pumpkin Enzyme helps clear away dead cells and excess oil so pores stay unclogged and skin feels smooth. This type of ingredient works best for oily skin when it includes gentle exfoliating agents that lift away buildup without causing irritation.
What does Glycerin do for oily skin?
Glycerin helps keep oily skin hydrated without feeling heavy and supports the skin barrier. Because this product is a weak fit for your skin, an ideal product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that balance oil while protecting the skin.
The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008International Journal of Toxicology, 2019
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This cleansing mask fits into the weekly routine for oily skin, where it is used after the cleanser and enzyme powder. Oily skin works best with products that contain clay and oil-absorbing ingredients to actively target and manage excess shine.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask in your weekly routine, but keep it on a separate day from your retinol to avoid irritation. Oily skin works best with a product that targets excess shine directly.
How often should I use this mask?
You can use this cleansing mask once a week as part of your weekly routine. People who tolerate exfoliating steps well and see good results can carefully use them more often.
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for oily skin, as it has a good safety profile without harsh ingredients. An average fit for oily skin needs targeted oil-absorbing ingredients and sebum-regulating actives to properly control shine.
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum).
