Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers excellent soothing and toning for your acne-prone combination skin, as Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Extract and Salicylic Acid work to reduce redness and blemishes while Niacinamide provides oil control.
  • The inclusion of Centella Asiatica Extract and Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract further enhances the calming and toning effects, making it suitable for your oily shine concerns.
  • The product is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

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.

People Say
