Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your combination skin, as rice ferment filtrate and rice bran oil provide humectant and emollient actions to hydrate and nourish.
- Glycerin and hydrolyzed rice bran extract offer general hydration benefits that can help with oily shine, but stronger ingredients for comprehensive oil control are lacking.
- The safety profile is excellent, 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.
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 combination skin?
This mask works reasonably well for combination skin, offering moderate hydration and nourishment, though it lacks stronger ingredients for comprehensive oil control. A product of this type needs a high concentration of heartleaf extract, soothing agents, and barrier-repairing ingredients to properly balance moisture levels and manage oily shine without overwhelming the skin.
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2011
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for combination skin?
Rice ferment filtrate, rice bran oil, and glycerin make this mask a good fit because they hydrate the skin and help with oily shine. To work even better for combination skin, a product of this type needs heartleaf extract and other ingredients that balance moisture levels and calm the skin without overwhelming it.
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2011
What does Domestic Rice do for combination skin?
Domestic Rice helps keep combination skin hydrated and smooth while calming any redness. This type of skin needs lightweight moisture and ingredients that balance oil and dry areas without clogging pores.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2011
What does Rice Extract do for combination skin?
Rice extract helps keep combination skin hydrated and balanced while fighting daily damage from the environment. It may also improve skin texture and elasticity to keep your face feeling soft and smooth.
Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2011Pharmaceutical Biology, 2012
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for combination skin?
This nourishing mask fits into your weekly routine step after cleansing and enzyme powder, and before your toner and treatment. It helps hydrate your combination skin, though this skin type also needs stronger ingredients for comprehensive oil control.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this nourishing mask alongside retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help soothe and hydrate your skin. This product has an excellent safety profile with very low risk of irritation, making it gentle enough to use during a retinol routine. However, combination skin often needs stronger oil-controlling ingredients to properly balance shiny areas.
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2011
How often should I use this mask?
This nourishing mask works moderately well for your combination skin, providing hydration and nourishment while helping with oily shine. To best care for combination skin, a product of this type needs stronger ingredients for comprehensive oil control alongside balancing moisturizers.
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2011
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?
This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for your combination skin because it has an excellent safety profile without harsh ingredients. However, to fully manage oily shine, combination skin needs stronger oil-controlling ingredients alongside basic hydration.
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (alcohol).
What the research says
A 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, 2011Gel and cream formulations containing rice bran bioactive compounds entrapped in niosomes increased in vitro antioxidant activity (ORAC values of 20-28 micromol TE/g versus 16-18 micromol TE/g for placebo), enhanced lipid peroxidation inhibition in human sebum by about 1.5 times, and improved in vivo human skin hydration by approximately 3 to 30% depending on the measurement technique.
Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 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.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Daily application of a cream containing niosomes loaded with purple glutinous rice extract in 20 human volunteers for 28 days resulted in a significant decrease in melanin index and skin roughness by -14.05% and -9.95%, and increases in skin hydration and elastic recovery by +48.73% and +35.98% compared to initial values.

Natural Product Communications, 2016Stirring Nukadoko fermented rice bran beds by hand leads to temporary settlement of microorganisms on human skin with quick shedding.
FEMS Microbiology Letters, 2023Crude extracts from Sang 5 CMU rice bran and husk exhibited antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-melanogenesis, and collagen-regulating properties by scavenging radicals, reducing TBARS and MMP-2 levels, inhibiting nitric oxide and melanin production, and upregulating antioxidant, collagen-associated, and downregulating pigmentary genes in cell models.
Plants, 2024Rice bran soft and hard waxes exhibited anti-skin ageing activities including melanogenesis inhibition, antioxidant protection, collagen stimulation, matrix metalloproteinase suppression, and anti-inflammation in cultured skin cells.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024The 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.

Why other nourishing masks fit combination skin better
A panthenol-enriched mask improved skin hydration, regulated sebum, and reduced redness and TEWL across dry sensitive, oily sensitive, and oily acne skin subgroups with excellent tolerance and no adverse reactions.
