Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate benefits for your redness and irritation as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide excellent hydration and plumping effects suitable for normal skin. Squalane and rice bran water further support soothing and moisturizing, addressing your skin's need for comfort.
  • Niacinamide and honey extract contribute to overall skin health and barrier support, enhancing the product's general skincare advantages.
  • The product is safe for your sensitive skin, containing no harsh ingredients and including soothing components like rice bran water and niacinamide.

How to apply

  • Use this soothing AM and PM routine every day to keep your normal skin calm. Always remember to apply SPF in the morning after your moisturizer.
  • Apply your moisturizer after your toner in the morning, and after your serum in the evening. This step locks in hydration and protects your skin.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer evenly across your face. Avoid rubbing to keep your sensitive skin happy and calm.
  • You can apply this gentle formula on dry or slightly damp skin for the best comfort. It works wonderfully on clean skin to soothe redness and irritation.
  • Do a patch test before your very first use to check your skin's reaction. Avoid getting the product directly into your eyes .

People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 5.0k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, this moisturizer is highly praised for achieving a dewy and plump "glass skin" appearance, making it ideal for dry or dehydrated skin needing barrier support. The reformulated fragrance-free version is appreciated for its gentle hanbang ingredients. However, users with acne-prone or oily skin should be cautious as some have experienced breakouts due to the inclusion of coconut oil.
