Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your combination skin, as niacinamide and rice bran extract effectively control oily shine and refine pores, while Centella Asiatica Extract and Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract provide superb soothing and anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • Sodium hyaluronate and panthenol further enhance hydration and skin barrier support, complementing the toning and seboregulating effects.
  • The formula is safe for your skin, containing no harsh ingredients and including beneficial components like niacinamide and licorice root extract that minimize irritation risk.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your soothing toner 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin tolerates 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. Let it absorb for a minute before moving to the next step.
  • Apply the soothing toner on clean and slightly damp skin to help with absorption. This helps keep your skin feeling fresh and balanced.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a patch test before your first use.
