Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate benefits for your normal skin, as galactomyces ferment filtrate and niacinamide provide antioxidant activity and barrier repair, addressing your redness and irritation by soothing inflammation.
- The inclusion of dipotassium glycyrrhizate further aids in calming the skin, while the essence's texture is designed to smooth and brighten your complexion.
- The product is safe for your sensitive skin, with no harsh ingredients that could cause irritation.
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 .
People Say
★4.6Overall rating based on 1.5k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, this lightweight, watery essence is widely praised by users with oily and combination skin for its ability to regulate sebum and refine skin texture without heaviness.
