Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration for your combination, acne-prone skin as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide humectant action without overwhelming oily areas. Camellia sinensis leaf extract and panax ginseng root extract offer additional antioxidant and soothing benefits.
- The formulation is generally safe for your combination skin, with no harsh ingredients that would typically cause irritation.
- This mask provides good moisturizing and soothing benefits, making it a suitable option for general hydration needs.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your PM routine. Start using your sheet mask 3 times a week, and build up to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply your sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer. Relax with it on for ten to fifteen minutes.
- Take the sheet mask out and gently smooth it over your face so it fits well. Pat any leftover essence into your skin without rubbing.
- Put the sheet mask on clean and dry skin for the best comfort. This helps your pores take in all the good ingredients.
- Avoid getting the product too close to your sensitive eye area. Do a small patch test before your very first use to stay safe.
