Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your normal skin due to the presence of Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Glycerin, which offer antioxidant activity and humectant action, respectively.
  • Offers moderate benefits for wrinkles and fine lines due to the presence of 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid in concentrations that provide antioxidant and collagen-boosting effects.
  • The product is safe for your skin as it lacks prohibited or harsh ingredients, posing no risk of irritation.

How to apply

  • Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help smooth fine lines.
  • Apply this product after your toner and serum, but before your SPF in the morning. Follow your cleanser and toner steps to keep your skin balanced.
  • Gently press a small amount into your face and neck. Avoid rubbing the skin too harshly to prevent extra tension.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. Clean skin helps the product absorb much more evenly.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to stay safe.
