Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers excellent pore cleansing for your combination skin, as kaolin and bentonite effectively absorb excess sebum and impurities to address oily shine. Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin provide essential hydration, balancing the oil-absorbing ingredients for seboregulation.
  • The inclusion of apricot kernel oil and camellia japonica seed oil offers nourishment without being overly heavy for your skin type.
  • The product is safe for your skin, with aloe barbadensis leaf juice providing soothing benefits and no harsh ingredients present.

How to apply

  • Use this cleansing mask during your PM routine once a week to control oil. Start slowly 3 times a week and increase if your skin feels comfortable.
  • Apply the cleansing mask after the cleansing step and before using your hydrating toner. This ensures it works effectively on your skin.
  • Spread an even layer over your face using gentle motions. Avoid any harsh rubbing to keep your skin calm.
  • Apply the mask to clean and slightly damp skin for the best results. This helps the product target oily shine efficiently.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a simple patch test before your very first use.
