This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with acne-prone skin: breakouts, blackheads, and post-acne marks. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for acne-prone skin; other nourishing masks fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers excellent nourishing and moisturizing for your combination skin due to rice extract and glycerin, which hydrate and improve skin texture. Sunflower seed oil and dimethicone provide emollient action, offering moderate suitability for your skin type.
- While allantoin offers soothing benefits, the formula is 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.

- Aspergillus oryzae-fermented broken rice and brewers' rice water extracts inhibit photoaging in UV-irradiated human fibroblasts and co-cultured keratinocytes by downregulating MMP-1, inhibiting elastase, enhancing collagen formation, upregulating elastin gene expression, and lowering pro-inflammatory cytokines. ([Cellular and Molecular Biology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38015547/))

## Why other nourishing masks fit acne-prone skin better

- Co-delivery of paeonol and madecassoside via nanoemulsions improved transdermal delivery, promoted barrier repair proteins, inhibited inflammatory cytokine secretion in cellular and 3D models, and reduced transepidermal water loss and acne in human facial skin compared to free components. ([Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37446936/))
- A panthenol-enriched mask improved skin hydration, regulated sebum, and reduced redness and TEWL across dry sensitive, oily sensitive, and oily acne skin subgroups with excellent tolerance and no adverse reactions.

## Questions and answers

### How well does COSRX Rice Overnight Spa Mask work for acne-prone skin?

This mask works reasonably well for acne-prone skin, though other products fit it better because they target breakouts more directly. A product of this type needs effective acne-fighting ingredients like niacinamide or retinol that provide benefits for blemishes without any risk of irritation, alongside balanced hydrators.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for acne-prone skin?

Rice extract, niacinamide, and glycerin make this mask work for acne-prone skin by hydrating the skin and improving its texture, though acne-prone skin needs products with specialized acne-fighting and calming ingredients that cause no irritation.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32812663/)

### What does Rice Extract do for acne-prone skin?

Rice extract helps calm acne-prone skin and supports an even tone while keeping moisture balanced. Rice-derived ingredients exhibit anti-inflammatory properties that may help soothe irritation.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35587098/)

### What does Niacinamide do for acne-prone skin?

Niacinamide helps acne-prone skin by reducing both inflamed and uninflamed breakouts and calming redness. It is also very helpful for keeping oily skin balanced by cutting down on excess oil production, and it is well tolerated by most people.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38299457/), [Cureus, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38725769/)

### Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?

This nourishing mask works as a nighttime moisturizer to keep your skin soft while you sleep. Because this product is an average fit for acne-prone skin, a routine for this skin type needs targeted blemish-fighting ingredients and lightweight hydrators to keep breakouts calm and clear.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/), [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31461548/)

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

You can use this mask alongside retinol by applying it as the final step in your evening routine to keep your skin soft and calm. Using a nourishing moisturizer helps maintain your skin barrier and is unlikely to cause irritation when combined with active treatments.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this mask?

You can use this nourishing mask daily as part of your evening routine to keep your skin hydrated and soft. Regular application helps maintain moisture and is unlikely to irritate your skin.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/)

### Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?

This mask is unlikely to cause irritation for your acne-prone skin, but some reviewers do report occasional breakouts. A product of this type needs non-clogging hydrators and calming ingredients to keep breakouts under control.

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
