Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration benefits for your dry and sensitive skin, as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide humectant action, while hydrolyzed collagen boosts ECM synthesis.
- The formula is generally safe for your dry and sensitive skin, with no harsh ingredients that could cause irritation.
- While it provides good general hydration, it does not specifically target concerns like flakiness as effectively as a more specialized treatment might.
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.

Questions and answers
How well does the Ultimate Anti-Aging Facial Mask work for dry sensitive skin?
This mask works reasonably well for dry and sensitive skin, offering moderate moisture and a safe formula without harsh irritants. However, because it does not target stubborn flakiness as effectively as other options, dry skin of this type needs a specialized treatment with rich hydrating ingredients and soothing components to lock in moisture and calm irritation.
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for dry sensitive skin?
This mask is a good fit for dry sensitive skin because it contains glycerin and sodium hyaluronate to boost moisture, along with hydrolyzed collagen. A product of this type needs rich hydrating ingredients and soothing components that support the skin barrier without causing irritation to truly excel on dry and sensitive skin.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2022
What does Super Hyaluronic Acid do for dry sensitive skin?
Super Hyaluronic Acid helps draw moisture deep into dry sensitive skin to keep it soft and comfortable all day. It is very gentle and unlikely to cause irritation, making it a great choice for calming dry and reactive skin.
Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2024
What does Collagen do for dry sensitive skin?
Collagen helps dry sensitive skin by improving moisture, hydration, and overall barrier function to keep skin soft and smooth. It may also help reduce water loss and calm irritation as part of your daily routine.
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2024Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2022
Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for dry sensitive skin?
This mask goes in your weekly routine after the makeup remover and cleanser, followed by your treatment and moisturizer. It offers moderate hydration with ingredients like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, but dry and sensitive skin needs a specialized treatment to target concerns like flakiness.
Can I use this mask with vitamin C, and in what order?
You can use this mask in your routine, but a dry and sensitive skin needs a nourishing mask with extra soothing ingredients and rich barrier-repairing elements to truly target flakiness.
How often should I use this mask?
Use this nourishing mask once a week as part of your weekly routine for dry sensitive skin. While it offers moderate hydration, a product of this type needs richer ingredients that specifically target flakiness to better care for very dry skin.

Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry sensitive skin?
This mask is generally safe for your dry and sensitive skin and is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts. It features a gentle formula without harsh ingredients that could cause irritation, though a more specialized treatment is needed to specifically target flakiness.
Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
