This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with sensitive skin: redness, stinging, and reactions to new products. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for sensitive skin; other nourishing masks fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate benefits for your normal skin, as Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate enhances skin texture and hydration, supporting your skin barrier.
- While it provides general nourishing mask benefits, it lacks targeted ingredients to address your specific concerns of redness and irritation.
- The formula is safe for your sensitive skin, with no harsh ingredients that could cause irritation.

## What the research says

- Application of Galactomyces ferment filtrate skin care formula significantly reduced the net values and daily fluctuation of facial pore area, roughness, and redness in young Japanese women. ([Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34198790/))
- Daily application of Galactomyces ferment filtrate-containing skin products for 12 months significantly and cumulatively reversed 11-year facial skin aging parameters of wrinkles, hyperpigmented spots, and roughness, and increased skin hydration in 86 female volunteers. ([Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36769815/))
- A combination serum containing galactomyces ferment filtrate, dexpanthenol, and Centella asiatica effectively treated post-acne hyperpigmentation in subjects with colored skin by significantly increasing lightness scores in Fitzpatrick skin type V and reducing the melanin index in Fitzpatrick skin type IV compared to placebo. ([Skinmed, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33938432/))
- Galactomyces ferment filtrate promotes epidermal interconnectivity, barrier development, cell adhesion, keratinocyte differentiation and proliferation, and protects cellular bioenergetics against stress in keratinocytes and ex vivo skin explants compared to untreated controls. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38924095/))
- Galactomyces ferment filtrate activates AHR and NRF2, upregulates filaggrin and terminal differentiation markers, exhibits antioxidative activity, promotes antiinflammatory IL-37, and downregulates CDKN2A, IL-33, CXCL14, and IL6R in epidermal keratinocytes. ([Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36362566/))
- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))

## Why other nourishing masks fit sensitive skin better

- A panthenol-enriched mask improved skin hydration, regulated sebum, and reduced redness and TEWL across dry sensitive, oily sensitive, and oily acne skin subgroups with excellent tolerance and no adverse reactions. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38366684/))
- Topical dexpanthenol acts as a moisturizer, improves stratum corneum hydration, accelerates wound healing and epidermal regeneration, reduces erythema, and improves symptoms of skin irritation compared to vehicle or no pretreatment. ([American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/))
- Cosmetic formulations containing 5% Centella asiatica extract showed the best efficacy in improving skin moisture and decreasing transepidermal water loss, while also exhibiting antiinflammatory properties in 25 volunteers compared to baseline measurements. ([Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/))

## What reviewers say

## Questions and answers

### How well does the Overnight Miracle Mask work for sensitive skin?

This mask works reasonably well for sensitive skin, though other products fit it better. It is safe and hydrating, but a nourishing mask for this skin needs higher concentrations of soothing ingredients to calm redness and irritation.
Sources: [Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34198790/)

### Which ingredients make this mask a good fit for sensitive skin?

Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate and glycerin make this mask safe and helpful for sensitive skin by improving texture and hydration. However, because it lacks targeted ingredients for redness and irritation, a product for this skin needs high concentrations of soothing components and calming ingredients like niacinamide or sodium hyaluronate.
Sources: [Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34198790/)

### What does Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate do for sensitive skin?

Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate helps calm redness and supports dry or irritated skin by protecting against daily stressors and improving moisture. It is unlikely to cause issues and works well to keep skin smooth and comfortable.
Sources: [Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34198790/)

### What does Glycerin do for sensitive skin?

Glycerin helps keep sensitive skin soft and deeply hydrated while supporting the skin barrier. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may protect against dryness and roughness.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 1999](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10598752/)

### Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This nourishing mask goes in your weekly evening routine, after your enzyme powder and before your treatment and moisturizer. It is safe for your sensitive skin and helps keep it soft, but a better fit for this skin needs soothing ingredients to calm redness and irritation.

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

You can use this mask in your weekly routine, keeping it on a different night from your retinol treatment to prevent any unwanted irritation on sensitive skin. A product of this type for sensitive skin needs soothing ingredients like centella or bisabolol to help calm redness and irritation.

### How often should I use this mask?

You can use this nourishing mask once a week as part of your weekly routine for sensitive skin. A product of this type for sensitive skin needs calming and soothing ingredients like centella asiatica or green tea to help calm redness and irritation.

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

This mask is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores for sensitive skin, as its formula has a low likelihood of causing breakouts and is safe for sensitive skin. However, it lacks targeted ingredients to calm redness and irritation, so a nourishing mask for this skin needs soothing agents and anti-inflammatory ingredients.

### Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
