Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for oily skin due to the presence of glycerin and sodium hyaluronate which provide humectant action, but lacks sufficient ingredients for strong oil control to address your oily shine concerns.
  • Centella Asiatica Extract and Panthenol offer soothing benefits, which you would notice, but these are mostly supportive and irrelevant for your primary concern of oily shine.
  • The product is safe for your oily skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your sheet mask 3 times a week and increase if your skin likes it.
  • Apply your sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer.
  • Place the sheet mask smoothly over your face and gently press it down without rubbing.
  • Put the mask on clean and slightly dry skin for the best results and comfort.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a simple patch test before using it for the first time.

People Say

★4.7Overall rating based on 2.2k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, this mask is consistently praised for its immediate soothing effects on sensitive, acne-prone, and irritated skin, significantly reducing redness and inflammation.

Questions and answers

How well does Pyunkang Yul Calming Mask Pack work for oily skin?

This mask works moderately well for oily skin, offering soothing benefits and hydration, but it lacks the oil control needed for oily shine. A mask for this skin type needs balancing and mattifying ingredients to manage excess oil.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for oily skin?

The Centella Asiatica extract and panthenol in this mask calm your skin while glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide moisture without harshness. However, because it lacks oil control, an oily skin type needs a product that includes mattifying ingredients and balancing agents to properly manage shine.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025

What does Hyaluronic Acid do for oily skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps oily skin by reducing extra oil and sebum production without causing irritation. Clinical studies show it successfully balances oil levels while keeping the skin comfortable.

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2017

What does Centella Asiatica Extract do for oily skin?

Centella Asiatica Extract helps calm redness and keeps oily skin feeling balanced by soothing irritation and supporting moisture levels. It is unlikely to feel heavy, and products of this type for oily skin need ingredients that control excess shine while maintaining hydration.

Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016Molecules, 2023

Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This mask works as an occasional nourishing step for oily skin, though an oily skin routine needs ingredients that control excess oil and shine.

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

You can use this mask with retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help calm the skin and keep it soft. This product is safe and unlikely to cause irritation, though oily skin needs ingredients that control shine.

How often should I use this mask?

You can use this mask weekly as part of your regular routine. It is safe for oily skin, but to better handle oily shine, this type of skin needs oil-absorbing ingredients and balancing agents.

Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on oily skin, as it has a safe formula without harsh ingredients and includes soothing components. However, to truly manage oily shine, oily skin needs a product with strong oil-controlling ingredients.

Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
