Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers excellent suitability for your normal skin, as snail secretion filtrate and hyaluronic acid provide superior hydration and barrier repair. Niacinamide and copper tripeptide-1 also support your pigmentation concerns by aiding skin brightening and collagen production.
  • The inclusion of panthenol and allantoin further enhances skin soothing and smoothing, complementing the primary moisturizing benefits.
  • The product is safe for your skin, containing no harsh ingredients and featuring a blend of soothing agents.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM and PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply this moisturizer after your cleanser and toner, right before your morning SPF.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing it too hard so it absorbs nicely.
  • For the best moisture, you can apply it when your skin is slightly damp. This helps your skin stay soft and happy.
  • Remember to avoid the eye area when applying. Always do a patch test before your first use.
