Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Suitable for normal skin due to the presence of rice ferment filtrate and rice bran oil, which offer humectant and emollient actions respectively, providing excellent moisturizing benefits.
- While Glycerin and Rice Ferment Filtrate offer general hydration, they are mostly supportive and irrelevant for your specific concerns of redness and irritation.
- The product is safe for your sensitive skin as it lacks prohibited or harsh ingredients, posing no risk of irritation.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start by using the sheet mask 3 times a week and increase if your skin feels good.
- Apply the sheet mask right after cleansing and toning, but always before your daily moisturizer or SPF.
- Unfold the sheet mask and gently press it onto your face, avoiding any harsh rubbing. Leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes.
- For sensitive skin, apply the sheet mask on completely dry skin to ensure better comfort and tolerance.
- Always avoid the delicate eye area and 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.

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, 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.
Pharmaceutical Biology, 2012Application of Galactomyces ferment filtrate skin care formula significantly reduced the net values and daily fluctuation of facial pore area, roughness, and redness in young Japanese women.
Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021Daily 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.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020The iontophoretic delivery of hyaluronic acid nanogel-loaded Saccharomyces/Rice Ferment Filtrate significantly reduced advanced glycation end products and mitigated skin stiffening in an ex vivo skin tissue glycation model.
International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2025Red rice extract suppressed UVB-induced inflammation and skin aging in human skin fibroblasts by inhibiting the MAPK signaling pathway, leading to decreased NF-kappa B and AP-1 activation, reduced ECM degradation, and increased ECM synthesis compared to UVB-irradiated controls.
Natural Product Communications, 2016Gel 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, 2011Stirring 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, 2024A 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, 2017The 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.
