Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing and treatment for your dry skin, as glycerin and squalane provide hydration and smooth texture. Phyllostachys bambusoides extract and citrus junos fruit extract also offer antioxidant benefits.
  • The inclusion of sodium hyaluronate and betaine further enhances humectant properties, supporting overall skin hydration.
  • The product is safe for your dry skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like bisabolol and chamomile extract.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and work your way up to daily use.
  • Apply your moisturizer after your toner and before your sunscreen in the morning. At night, use it as the final step after your serum.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing to keep your dry skin happy.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra hydration. This is great for soothing dry and flaky areas .
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a patch test before your first use .
