Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your oily skin, the rice ferment filtrate and sake ferment filtrate offer gentle exfoliation and pore-refining effects to address acne, blemishes, and breakouts. Squalane provides emollient action without being overly heavy, complementing the humectant properties of the rice extracts.
- The formulation provides excellent nourishing and smoothing texture due to the hydrating concentrations of rice ferment filtrate and sodium hyaluronate.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like rice ferment filtrate and squalane.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using the creamy mask 3 times a week and slowly move to daily use.
- Apply the creamy mask after your cleanser and toner, but right before your moisturizer or SPF.
- Gently smooth a thin layer of the creamy mask over your face. Avoid any harsh rubbing motions.
- Apply the creamy mask evenly on clean and dry skin for the best results against blemishes. Let it sit comfortably without rushing the process.
- Always avoid the delicate eye area. Do a quick patch test before your very first application to check for safety.
People Say
