Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your combination skin and acne concerns is provided by Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract, which offer potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits to calm breakouts and protect your skin.
  • Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate and Sodium Hyaluronate further enhance hydration and skin barrier support, addressing your skin's need for balanced moisture without exacerbating oiliness.
  • The product is safe for your acne-prone skin, featuring a gentle formulation free from harsh ingredients and enriched with soothing botanical extracts.

How to apply

  • Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help keep breakouts under control.
  • Apply after your cleanser and toner, and make sure to use your SPF right after in the morning.
  • Gently spread a small amount of moisturizer over your face using soft motions. Let it absorb into the skin for a minute before getting dressed or applying makeup.
  • Apply on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. This keeps your combination skin balanced without feeling heavy.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use. Stop using if you feel any irritation.
