Brand: PROOT
Category: [Face masks](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/best/face-masks)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with sensitive skin: redness, stinging, and reactions to new products. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for sensitive skin; the cleansing masks alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation for redness and irritation due to salicylic acid and peppermint oil, which may exacerbate sensitivity for your normal skin type.
- Kaolin and bentonite provide moderate cleansing by absorbing excess oil and impurities, but the formula may not offer enough emollient or humectant benefits for optimal results.

## What the research says

- DA-5512 stimulates human dermal papilla cell viability, hair growth, and hair follicle parameters comparably to minoxidil, showing significantly increased efficacy after 16 weeks compared to placebo or 3% minoxidil. ([Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28539964/))
- An OTC topical formulation containing a plant extract complex improved skin extensibility and firmness significantly (P < 0.02) compared to placebo in 20 volunteers, with no adverse reactions. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18503475/))
- A hydrocolloid polyester dressing containing herbal extract showed good drainage ability with no skin irritation, and resulted in significantly lower pain levels, removal discomfort, and peri-wound reactions compared to other dressings in traumatic leg wound patients. ([The International Journal of Lower Extremity Wounds, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36069040/))
- Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/))
- Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction. ([Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34623507/))
- Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days. ([BMC Oral Health, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31311529/))
- Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen achieved a higher cure rate (39%) than salicylic acid (24%) and a wait-and-see approach (16%) for cutaneous warts at 13 weeks in primary care patients. ([CMAJ, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20837684/))
- A moisturizer containing licochalcone A, 1,2-decanediol, L-carnitine, and salicylic acid significantly reduced noninflammatory, inflammatory, and total acne lesion counts compared to a vehicle control in Thai patients during a 12-week maintenance phase.

- Treatment with 2% supramolecular salicylic acid hydrogel resulted in a regression and markedly improvement rate of 51.01% compared to 43.10% for Adapaline gel in patients with mild to moderate facial acne vulgaris, showing no significant difference in efficacy. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38590107/))

## Why other cleansing masks fit sensitive skin better

- Topical menthol induced significant pain, cold sensations, punctate and cold hyperalgesia, and increased cutaneous perfusion in 10 subjects compared to ethanol control, acting as a human model for cold pain by sensitizing peripheral cold C nociceptors and activating cold-specific A delta fibres. ([Brain, 2004](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14985268/))
