Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration for your dry and sensitive skin, as glycerin and hyaluronic acid draw moisture in to plump and hydrate. Panthenol further supports skin barrier function and soothes dryness.
- The snail secretion filtrate provides additional nourishing benefits, contributing to overall skin health and suppleness.
- The product is safe for your skin, with no harsh or irritating ingredients present.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your sheet mask 3 times a week and increase to daily use if your dry skin tolerates it.
- Apply the sheet mask right after cleansing and toning, but always before your rich moisturizer .
- Unfold the sheet mask gently and smooth it evenly over your face, avoiding any harsh pulling or rubbing.
- Place the sheet mask onto clean, slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture for flaky areas.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a quick patch test before your very first use.

Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for dry sensitive skin?
This nourishing mask fits into your weekly routine as a once-a-week step after your cleanser in the evening. Because your dry sensitive skin needs extra care, this type of product works best when it includes soothing ingredients like panthenol and gentle moisture-locking agents to keep your skin calm and comfortable.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask in your weekly routine, keeping it separate from your retinol treatment nights to give your sensitive skin the best care. This product works well for your skin type, but a dry and sensitive skin routine ultimately needs a richer, deeply comforting moisturizer and barrier-restoring ingredients like ceramides to truly lock in hydration and prevent irritation.
How often should I use this mask?
You can use this mask once a week as part of your weekly routine for dry sensitive skin. Daily application of moisturizers helps improve skin moisture and barrier function.
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry sensitive skin?
This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for dry sensitive skin, as it contains no harsh or irritating ingredients. To care for dry sensitive skin, products of this type need extra soothing ingredients like panthenol and hydrating ingredients like glycerin and hyaluronic acid.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
