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

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

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with combination skin: an oily T-zone, enlarged pores, and dry cheeks. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for combination skin; the nourishing masks alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin due to glycerin and carrot seed oil, which hydrate without adding excess oil. Caprylic capric triglyceride also provides emollient action, balancing hydration for your skin type.
- While the formula is generally safe and free of harsh ingredients, its primary benefits are supportive rather than directly addressing your concern of oily shine.

## What the research says

- Topical application of an emollient emulsion containing 15.0% caprylic/capric triglyceride doubled the amount of urocanic acid isomers and increased skin hydration with reduced transepidermal water loss in healthy subjects, though it did not prevent ultraviolet-induced urocanic acid isomerization. ([Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/))
- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Topical beta-carotene provided protection for the human skin of healthy volunteers against IR radiation by acting as a superficial antioxidant, though dermal carotenoid degradation was significantly higher for standard infrared radiator than for water filter infrared irradiation. ([Experimental Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21255091/))
- Pre-treatment with beta-carotene at 1.5 microM modulated UVA-induced gene regulation in HaCaT human keratinocytes through multiple mechanisms not restricted to singlet oxygen quenching, reducing the effect for 143 genes and enhancing it for 180 out of 568 UVA-regulated genes. ([The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2005](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15675964/))
- Alginate hydrogel dressings co-loaded with cinnamon-mediated silver nanoparticles, beta-carotene nanocarriers, and Centella asiatica extract demonstrated antimicrobial and antibiofilm activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli over a 24-h period while mitigating silver-induced cytotoxicity and oxidative stress in human keratinocyte cells. ([Gels, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41002512/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))

## Why other nourishing masks fit combination skin better

- 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. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38366684/))
- Application of Galactomyces ferment filtrate skin care formula significantly reduced the net values and daily fluctuation of facial pore area, roughness, and redness in young Japanese women. ([Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34198790/))

## What reviewers say

## Questions and answers

### Why is SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Daily Mask a weak match for combination skin?

This mask is a weak match for combination skin because its nourishing formula offers only supportive care rather than directly helping with oily shine. A nourishing mask for this skin needs soothing ingredients that control shine without irritation, and extracts that balance both dry and oily areas.

### Which ingredients make this mask a poor fit for combination skin?

This mask is a weak match because its rich ingredients like caprylic capric triglyceride and glycerin offer only moderate moisture rather than tackling oily shine. Combination skin needs products with effective soothing ingredients that manage oily shine without irritation, and extracts that balance both dry and oily areas.
Sources: [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Carrot Seed Oil do for combination skin?

Carrot seed oil helps protect combination skin with antioxidants and provides basic sun defense while keeping the face stable and balanced. This ingredient is unlikely to cause irritation when used in properly formulated cosmetic emulsions.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29737890/)

### What does Beta-Carotene do for combination skin?

Beta-carotene helps protect combination skin by acting as an antioxidant that defends against sun and light damage, making it useful in a daily daytime routine. It is unlikely to clog pores and may help keep skin calm when exposed to environmental stress. Because combination skin needs both lightweight hydration and protection from free radicals, this type of product works best when paired with gentle moisture.
Sources: [Experimental Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21255091/), [The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23053552/)

### Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for combination skin?

This nourishing mask is a weak match for combination skin because it helps hydrate without adding excess oil, but it does not directly address oily shine. To better manage oily shine and balance this skin type, a routine needs lightweight, oil-balancing ingredients like niacinamide or gentle exfoliating acids.

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

You can use this nourishing mask with retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help soothe and hydrate your skin. This product offers moderate moisture with glycerin and carrot seed oil, but combination skin with oily shine needs a lightweight, oil-free formula with ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid to help control excess oil.

### How often should I use this mask?

This nourishing mask is a weak match for your combination skin because it offers supportive hydration rather than directly targeting oily shine. A product for this skin needs ingredients like glycerin and carrot seed oil that provide moisture without excess oil, alongside balancing agents like caprylic capric triglyceride.
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 combination skin?

This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for combination skin because its ingredients hydrate without adding excess oil. However, since it is a weak match for your skin, combination skin needs a lightweight product with oil-controlling ingredients and beta-hydroxy acids to manage oily shine.
Sources: [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### 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.
