Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate exfoliation for your combination skin due to Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract and Saccharum Officinarum Extract, which provide keratolytic action to smooth texture.
- Glycerin and pumice offer general skincare benefits like hydration and exfoliation, which are supportive but not specifically targeted for your oily shine concerns.
- The product is safe for your combination skin as it lacks prohibited or harsh ingredients, posing no risk of irritation.
How to apply
- Use this cleansing mask during your PM routine once a week to control oil. Start slowly 3 times a week and increase if your skin feels comfortable.
- Apply the cleansing mask after the cleansing step and before using your hydrating toner. This ensures it works effectively on your skin.
- Spread an even layer over your face using gentle motions. Avoid any harsh rubbing to keep your skin calm.
- Apply the mask to clean and slightly damp skin for the best results. This helps the product target oily shine efficiently.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a simple patch test before your very first use.

Questions and answers
How well does the Vichy Double Glow Peel Mask work for combination skin?
The Vichy Double Glow Peel Mask works reasonably well for combination skin by smoothing texture and providing hydration, though other products fit this skin type better. To work best for combination skin, a product of this type needs ingredients that specifically target oily shine while safely balancing and refining the skin without irritation.
Nutrients, 2024Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for combination skin?
Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract and Saccharum Officinarum Extract help smooth texture on combination skin. To best fit this skin type, products need ingredients that balance oily shine and refine pores while keeping the skin calm.
What does Alpha Hydroxy Acid do for combination skin?
Alpha hydroxy acid helps balance combination skin by clearing out pores and removing dead skin cells while keeping the skin hydrated. It smooths out rough spots and keeps the skin feeling fresh and soft.
Skin Research and Technology, 2023International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2015
What does Volcanic Rock do for combination skin?
Volcanic rock helps exfoliate rough areas and clear away excess oil from combination skin. It gently buffs away dead skin cells to leave your face feeling smooth and fresh. This type of product needs to be used carefully so it does not dry out your cheeks.
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for combination skin?
This cleansing mask goes into the weekly routine after the cleanser and enzyme powder, and before the hydrating toner. To work best for combination skin, a product of this type needs ingredients that help balance oily shine while smoothing texture.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask in your routine, but you should avoid using it on the same nights you apply retinol to prevent irritation. Instead, use this cleansing mask on a separate weekly night, following up with a gentle hydrating toner and moisturizer to keep your skin calm and soft.
How often should I use this mask?
You can use this cleansing mask once a week as part of your weekly routine. Combination skin needs products that provide targeted oil control alongside gentle smoothing to fully address shine.
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 is safe and poses no risk of irritation. However, since it offers only general support rather than targeting oily shine concerns, this skin type needs products with ingredients that specifically balance oil and deeply purify pores.
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It contains fragrance (parfum) and drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
