Alfalfa [extract](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/extract) helps support lasting skin hydration, gently balances excess sebum, and visibly refines pore counts and skin texture. It suits nearly all skin types and is commonly found in nourishing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum). Because the extract layers easily, it integrates smoothly into daily skincare routines.
