Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration and plumping benefits for your normal skin, as collagen extract and sodium hyaluronate are present in high concentrations to hydrate and enhance skin elasticity.
- Niacinamide and glycerin provide general skincare benefits, supporting overall skin health without specifically targeting your main goal of pigmentation.
- The product is safe for your normal skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use your creamy mask PM routine once a week to start, then increase frequency if your normal skin feels good. Always remember to wear SPF during the day to protect your skin.
- Apply the creamy mask after cleansing and toning, and before your usual moisturizer. This helps lock in all the good ingredients for your skin.
- Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask over your face while avoiding the eye area. Do not rub it in harshly.
- Apply the creamy mask on dry skin since your skin is not sensitive and can handle active ingredients well. Let it sit for the recommended time before rinsing or patting in.
- Always do a patch test before your first use to check for any allergic reactions. Avoid mixing this mask with strong acids in the exact same routine.
