  • AverageEffectiveness
  • RiskySafety

A poor match for oily skin; the nourishing masks alongside fit it better.

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with oily skin: shine, enlarged pores, blackheads, and blemishes. For scores and recommendations based on your full skin profile, including your 12D face scan results and any goals or preferences you have, please use the Lovi app.

Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Extremely low suitability for your oily skin due to occlusive ingredients like shea butter and caprylic capric triglyceride, which can exacerbate oiliness and clog pores, despite dimethicone offering a temporary mattifying effect.
  • While the formula is safe for your oily skin and provides moderate moisturization, it does not effectively address your primary concern of oily shine.

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 if your skin likes it.
  • Apply your sheet mask after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer.
  • Place the sheet mask smoothly over your face and gently press it down without rubbing.
  • Put the mask on clean and slightly dry skin for the best results and comfort.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a simple patch test before using it for the first time.

What the research says

  • A combination cream of stimu-tex AS and saccharide isomerate reduced erythema, increased skin capacitance, and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to placebo in 20 subjects after fractional CO2 laser procedure without causing serious adverse events.

  • A skin barrier restoring cream with shea butter, silkflo, and vitamin E increased type I procollagen synthesis, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, decreased reactive oxygen species generation, and promoted hyaluronic acid production in H2O2-stimulated human keratinocyte cells compared to untreated cells.
