Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate benefits for your oily skin, with albumen and silica providing sebum control and mattifying effects to address oily shine. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract and Panthenol offer hydration and soothing, which are supportive but not primary for managing excess oil.
- The formula includes glycerin and Centella Asiatica Extract, which enhance barrier resilience and offer general soothing, aligning with your oily skin's needs for comfort.
- The product is safe for your oily skin, as it contains soothing ingredients like Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract, and lacks harsh or prohibited substances.
How to apply
- Use this creamy mask PM once a week to start, then increase frequency if your skin feels good.
- Apply this creamy mask after cleansing and toner, but before your moisturizer.
- Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask gently over your face, avoiding any harsh rubbing.
- Put the creamy mask on clean and completely dry skin for the best results against oily shine.
- Make sure to avoid the sensitive eye area and do a quick patch test before using it the first time.

Questions and answers
How well does SKIN1004 Zombie Pack work for oily skin?
SKIN1004 Zombie Pack works moderately well for oily skin, offering sebum control and a mattifying effect alongside soothing hydration. While safe and comfortable, oily skin needs a product of this type to feature strong oil-balancing and clarifying ingredients that provide a clearer, more balanced complexion without excess hydration.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for oily skin?
Albumen and silica make this mask a good fit for oily skin by controlling excess shine and keeping the face matte. To work even better for oily skin, a product of this type needs ingredients that balance the complexion and clear pores without adding heavy moisture.
What does Niacinamide do for oily skin?
Niacinamide helps balance oily skin by significantly reducing excess oil production and shine. It is well tolerated and may improve skin texture without clogging pores.
Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2006Antioxidants, 2021
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 it go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This mask works well as part of a weekly routine for oily skin, where it fits in alongside a makeup remover, cleanser, enzyme powder, toner, treatment, and moisturizer. It brings ingredients like albumen and silica for controlling shine, plus soothing aloe vera and panthenol, though oily skin ultimately needs a product focused primarily on balancing excess oil.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask in your weekly routine, keeping it separate from your nightly retinol to avoid overloading your skin. Oily skin works best with targeted treatments that balance oil control with barrier-supporting ingredients like niacinamide and centella asiatica.
How often should I use it?
This mask works well as a weekly step for your oily skin, helping manage excess shine with ingredients like albumen and silica. If you want to fit this skin type better, an oily skin product needs stronger oil-controlling and mattifying ingredients.
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 contains soothing ingredients like aloe and Centella Asiatica and lacks harsh substances. Oily skin works best with products that balance oil through ingredients like niacinamide, salicylic acid, and lightweight hydration.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016
Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
