Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate hydration for your oily skin due to glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which attract moisture without directly addressing oil control.
  • The inclusion of Rosa Damascena Flower Water and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice provides soothing benefits, making it generally well-tolerated for your skin type.
  • The product is safe for your oily skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and contains soothing components.

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.

Questions and answers

How well does Sarah Chapman 3D Moisture Infusion work for oily skin?

Sarah Chapman 3D Moisture Infusion works moderately well for oily skin, providing hydration and soothing benefits without adding excess oil or clogging pores. However, an oily skin type needs a product of this type to include ingredients that actively target shine and help control oil.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for oily skin?

This mask fits oily skin well through soothing ingredients like aloe barbadensis leaf juice and rosa damascena flower water, which help calm the skin without adding extra oil.

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2017

Clinical Pharmacology, 2018Skin Research and Technology, 2006

Where does it go in a skincare routine for oily skin?

This nourishing mask fits into the weekly routine for oily skin as a cleansing mask step, providing moderate hydration and a soothing feel. Because it does not control oil directly, an oily skin type also needs ingredients like niacinamide or oil-balancing plant extracts to manage shine.

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

You can use this mask with retinol by applying it after your retinol treatment to help soothe your skin and add moisture. Oily skin works best with nourishing masks that also target oil control and use lightweight hydrating ingredients.

How often should I use it?

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for oily skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and contains soothing components like aloe and rose water. To truly fit oily skin, a product of this type needs ingredients that help control excess oil while keeping the face soft and balanced.

Clinical Pharmacology, 2018
