Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin as niacinamide helps with seboregulation and glycerin provides hydration, though stronger oil-controlling ingredients would be beneficial for optimal results.
- The presence of Centella Asiatica Extract and Madecassoside offers soothing benefits that support your skin barrier and calm redness, which is generally helpful for oily skin.
- The product is safe for your oily skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your soothing toner 3 times a week and work up to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply your soothing toner after cleansing and before your moisturizer or SPF.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the soothing toner into your skin with your hands. Let it absorb for a minute before moving on ⏱ to the next step.
- For the best results , apply your soothing toner to slightly damp skin to help it sink in better.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a quick patch test before using the soothing toner for the very first time.

Molecules, 2023Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016
What does Centella Asiatica do for oily skin?
Centella asiatica helps calm angry breakouts and adds light moisture without feeling heavy on oily skin. It may also reduce redness and balance the skin barrier.
Molecules, 2023Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Biochemistry, 2019
What does Niacinamide do for oily skin?
Niacinamide helps balance oily skin by significantly reducing excess oil production and shine. It is well tolerated and may improve skin texture without clogging pores.
Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2006Antioxidants, 2021
