How to apply

- Gently spread a thin layer of the creamy mask onto your face, avoiding any rubbing to protect your delicate skin.
- Since your skin is sensitive, apply this creamy mask on completely dry skin for better comfort and tolerance.
- Do a patch test before your first use and always avoid the immediate eye area.

Questions and answers
How well does Keana Keana Rice Pack work for sensitive skin?
This mask works reasonably well for sensitive skin, offering moderate hydration and soothing effects to help calm redness and irritation. A nourishing mask for sensitive skin needs extra-gentle, highly calming ingredients and rich hydrating agents that protect the barrier without any risk of irritation.
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024
Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for sensitive skin?
Rice ferment filtrate, sodium hyaluronate, squalane, and rice bran oil help make this mask a good fit by providing hydration, soothing redness, and supporting barrier repair for sensitive skin. A product of this type needs gentle, highly suitable soothing ingredients that calm irritation effectively while maintaining balance and avoiding allergens.
What does Japanese Rice do for sensitive skin?
Japanese Rice helps calm and comfort sensitive skin while boosting hydration and strengthening the skin barrier. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may soothe redness, making it a gentle choice for easily upset skin.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2002
What does Serum do for sensitive skin?
This serum helps calm redness and sensitivity while keeping your skin feeling soft and smooth. Topical application of this formulation significantly improves barrier function in sensitive skin without causing irritation.
Health Science Reports, 2025Archives of Dermatological Research, 2018
Where does it go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?
This mask is used once a week as part of your weekly evening routine, right after cleansing and before applying your usual treatment and moisturizer. It is safe for sensitive skin and unlikely to cause irritation, though other products may fit this skin type better. Sensitive skin of this type needs calming ingredients like rice ferment filtrate, sodium hyaluronate, and nourishing oils to keep it soft and comfortable.
The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011
Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this mask in your weekly routine, keeping it on separate days or times from your retinol to avoid irritation. Sensitive skin of this type needs a gentle, barrier-repairing moisturizer with ceramides and calming plant extracts to keep the skin calm and comfortable when using strong treatments.
How often should I use it?
You can use this nourishing mask once a week as part of your weekly routine for sensitive skin. While it is safe and provides gentle hydration, a product for this skin type needs extra soothing ingredients and deep moisture to calm redness better.
Health Science Reports, 2021Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011
Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?
This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on sensitive skin, as it contains gentle, nourishing ingredients like squalane and rice bran oil that support comfort without harshness. However, a product for sensitive skin needs calming components like sodium hyaluronate and niacinamide along with lightweight hydration to avoid any heavy buildup.
Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
