Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for combination skin, as rice ferment filtrate and rice bran oil provide humectant and emollient actions to hydrate and nourish.
- While glycerin and rice ferment filtrate offer general hydration benefits, they are not specifically targeted for your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The product is safe for your combination skin with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your PM routine. Start using your sheet mask 3 times a week, and build up to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply your sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer. Relax with it on for ten to fifteen minutes.
- Take the sheet mask out and gently smooth it over your face so it fits well. Pat any leftover essence into your skin without rubbing.
- Put the sheet mask on clean and dry skin for the best comfort. This helps your pores take in all the good ingredients.
- Avoid getting the product too close to your sensitive eye area. Do a small patch test before your very first use to stay safe.
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 acne-prone skin?
This mask is an average fit for acne-prone skin because while its ingredients hydrate and nourish, they do not specifically target breakouts. It is unlikely to irritate, but a product for this skin needs dedicated calming and breakout-fighting ingredients along with gentle moisture.
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011Pharmaceutical Biology, 2012
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for acne-prone skin?
This mask works for acne-prone skin because rice ferment filtrate and rice bran oil help hydrate and nourish it, though it lacks ingredients targeted specifically for breakouts. A nourishing mask for this skin needs effective hydrating and acne-fighting ingredients like Niacinamide and Ceramide Np, along with calming agents to soothe irritation.
Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2011Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011
What does Domestic Rice do for acne-prone skin?
Domestic Rice helps calm acne-prone skin by reducing redness and soothing irritation. Rice-derived ingredients are generally safe and gentle, making them unlikely to clog pores while supporting a balanced skin barrier.
What does Rice Extract do for acne-prone skin?
Rice extract helps soothe acne-prone skin by providing calming and moisturizing benefits that keep the skin barrier healthy. It is unlikely to cause irritation and supports an even skin tone while reducing redness. A product for this skin type needs gentle, hydrating ingredients like rice-derived compounds and antioxidants to keep skin smooth and calm.
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?
This nourishing mask fits into your weekly routine after a cleansing mask and before a hydrating toner. A mask of this type needs soothing ingredients and blemish-fighting actives to properly care for acne-prone skin.
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask alongside retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help nourish and hydrate your skin. This type of routine works best when it also includes ingredients that specifically target breakouts and clear blemishes.
How often should I use this mask?
This nourishing mask works for your acne-prone skin, though other products fit it better and this type of skin needs targeted ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to help clear blemishes. It hydrates and nourishes with rice ferment filtrate and rice bran oil, and is safe for your skin with no risk of irritation.
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011Pharmaceutical Biology, 2012
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?
This nourishing mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause irritation, though it does not specifically target active blemishes and breakouts. Acne-prone skin needs a product of this type that also includes targeted blemish-fighting and oil-balancing ingredients.
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
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, 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, 2012Gel 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.

Why other nourishing masks fit acne-prone skin better
