Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate benefits for your oily skin, with Witch Hazel Extract Bark Twig Leaf providing astringent properties to help with oil control, while Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Copper Tripeptide-1 contribute to plumping and firming effects.
- Sodium Hyaluronate and Aloe Arborescens Leaf Extract offer general hydration and soothing, which are supportive for oily skin and acne, but the formula lacks targeted ingredients to effectively address your primary concerns of acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The product is safe for your oily skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use your sheet mask PM routine about 1-3 times a week to help with breakouts. Start slowly to see how your oily skin feels before using it more often.
- Put on your sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before applying your final moisturizer. This helps your skin absorb all the good ingredients easily.
- Unfold the sheet mask and smooth it gently over your face without rubbing. Leave it on for ten to fifteen minutes ⏱ and gently pat any leftover essence into your skin.
- Apply the sheet mask directly onto clean and dry skin for the best results against blemishes. There is no need to wash your face again after removing the mask.
- Avoid getting the product into your eyes and always do a quick patch test before your very first use.
People Say
★4.8Overall rating based on 100+ reviewsBased on limited data, users with dry, dehydrated, or tired skin frequently praise this sheet mask for its instant plumping and smoothing effects, often noting a healthy glow immediately after use.
