Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate treatment for acne lesions and redness due to the presence of sodium hypochlorite, which has antimicrobial action but can be irritating for sensitive skin.
- This formula is moderately suitable for normal skin, though it lacks sufficient humectant or emollient ingredients for optimal hydration.
How to apply
- Use your serum in the PM routine, starting 3 times a week before building up to daily use if your skin is happy.
- Apply the serum after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer for the best results.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and wait a minute ⏱ for it to soak in.
- Since your skin is sensitive and easily irritated, apply the serum on completely dry skin to help keep it calm.
- Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid getting the serum too close to your eyes .

Questions and answers
Why does Lovi advise caution with Clinisoothe+ Skin Purifier for sensitive skin?
This product contains sodium hypochlorite, which helps clear acne and redness, but it can be irritating for sensitive skin. Treatment for this skin needs soothing ingredients, no allergens, and great care for irritation.
Which ingredients make this treatment a poor fit for sensitive skin?
Sodium hypochlorite makes this treatment a poor fit for sensitive skin because, while it helps clear redness and acne, it can easily irritate delicate skin. A treatment for this skin needs soothing ingredients and a lack of irritants to keep skin calm and hydrated.
What does Water do for sensitive skin?
Using cool water for facial cleansing preserves skin barrier integrity and lowers skin surface pH in healthy adults. This helps keep skin calm and hydrated without causing the irritation associated with warmer water.
Where does this treatment go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?
For sensitive skin, this treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and a soothing toner, and before your moisturizer. Sensitive skin needs a gentle formula with soothing ingredients and extra hydration to calm redness and prevent irritation.
Can I use this treatment with retinol, and in what order?
Exercise caution when using this treatment with retinol, as it may cause irritation on sensitive skin. To combine them safely, use your retinol at night and apply this treatment carefully while ensuring your routine includes plenty of soothing and hydrating ingredients.
How often should I use this treatment?
You should use this treatment in the evening once a week for sensitive skin, because sodium hypochlorite helps reduce acne and redness but may irritate easily. A product of this type for sensitive skin needs soothing and hydrating ingredients like plant extracts and ceramides to keep skin calm and comfortable.
Can this treatment clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?
This treatment is unlikely to cause breakouts, as user complaints of potential breakouts are negligible. However, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients and extra moisture to keep sensitive skin calm and hydrated without irritation.
