The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Singapore.

Brand: [Anua](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/brands/anua)
Category: [Face masks](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/best/face-masks)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with dry sensitive skin: flakiness, tightness, redness, fine lines, and wrinkles. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for dry sensitive skin; other cleansing masks fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for your dry skin, as Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate provide essential hydration to combat dryness and flakiness. The inclusion of Kaolin and physical exfoliants, while beneficial for pore cleansing, may pose a mild irritation risk for your sensitive skin.
- The formula's focus on pore decongestion through high concentrations of Kaolin and Houttuynia Cordata Extract supports your goal of clearer skin.
- The product is generally safe for your dry and sensitive skin, with minimal concerns regarding irritation.

([Experimental Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18503551/))
- 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.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Anua Heartleaf Pore Clay Pack work for dry sensitive skin?

This cleansing mask works reasonably well for your dry sensitive skin, as hydrating ingredients like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate help combat dryness and flakiness. However, the clays may pose a mild irritation risk for your sensitive skin. A product of this type needs effective moisturizing ingredients that provide excellent hydration and barrier support without any risk of irritation.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this cleansing mask a good fit for dry sensitive skin?

Glycerin, Sodium Hyaluronate, and Centella Asiatica Extract make this mask a good fit by helping to hydrate dry skin and calm sensitivity. However, because it contains clays like kaolin that can be drying, a cleansing mask for dry sensitive skin needs extra moisturizing ingredients, ceramides, and a soothing, non-stripping formula to protect the skin barrier.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/)

### What does Houttuynia Cordata Extract do for dry sensitive skin?

Houttuynia cordata extract helps calm dry sensitive skin by reducing redness and soothing irritation while supporting the skin barrier. It may also protect against everyday stress and environmental damage to keep skin feeling soft and comfortable.
Sources: [Foods, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38790770/), [Antioxidants, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35204104/)

### What does Kaolin Clay do for dry sensitive skin?

Kaolin clay is a poor fit for dry sensitive skin because it absorbs natural oils and can worsen dryness and irritation. A product of this type needs soothing, hydrating ingredients and a gentle formula to protect dry and delicate skin.

### Where does this cleansing mask go in a skincare routine for dry sensitive skin?

This cleansing mask fits into a weekly routine as a nourishing mask used after cleansing. A product of this type needs gentle clays and calming plant extracts alongside rich hydrators like glycerin and hyaluronic acid to clean pores without leaving dry and sensitive skin feeling stripped or irritated.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/)

### Can I use this cleansing mask with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this cleansing mask on a weekly basis, but use it on a different night than your retinol to help prevent irritation on your sensitive skin. Clay masks can dry out and irritate dry skin when combined with strong treatments like retinol, so this type of skin needs extra hydrating ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid to keep the skin barrier calm and comfortable.

### How often should I use this cleansing mask?

This cleansing mask works for your dry sensitive skin as an average fit, though it may pose a mild irritation risk if used too often. To care for dry sensitive skin, a mask of this type needs gentle clay or soothing ingredients along with plenty of moisture to keep the skin soft and calm without feeling stripped.

### Can this cleansing mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry sensitive skin?

This cleansing mask is unlikely to cause breakouts for dry and sensitive skin, though clay products for this skin type need soothing ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid to keep skin soft and comfortable.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Is this cleansing mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
