Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers excellent skin treatment for your normal skin with sensitivity, as Bifida Lysate Ferment and Niacinamide work synergistically to enhance barrier resilience and improve skin tone, addressing your concerns of redness and irritation.
  • The formulation provides moderate benefits for redness and irritation by soothing and strengthening the skin barrier, with additional humectant action from ingredients like Glycerin and Propanediol.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

How to apply

  • Use your serum in the PM routine, starting 3 times a week before building up to daily use if your skin is happy.
  • Apply the serum after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer for the best results.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and wait a minute ⏱ for it to soak in.
  • Since your skin is sensitive and easily irritated, apply the serum on completely dry skin to help keep it calm.
  • Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid getting the serum too close to your eyes .

People Say

★4.7Overall rating based on 700+ reviews

Users consistently praise this ampoule as a powerful anti-aging treatment that delivers deep hydration and a "glass skin" glow overnight, often comparing it favorably to the much more expensive Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair. It is particularly effective for dry, mature, and sensitive skin types, helping to smooth rough texture and plump fine lines, though a minority of users with sensitivities to fermented ingredients or essential oils experienced irritation.
