Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your dry skin is provided by Centella Asiatica Extract and Glycerin, which deeply hydrate and soothe flakiness, complemented by Sodium Hyaluronate for enhanced humectant action and barrier repair.
  • Panthenol and Madecassoside further support skin repair and offer calming benefits, ensuring your dry skin feels comfortable and nourished.
  • 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

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your soothing toner 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply your soothing toner after cleansing, and before putting on your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the soothing toner into your skin with your hands. Let it absorb for a minute before adding your next product.
  • Apply the soothing toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better. This works great for dry or flaky skin to lock in extra moisture.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area when applying the soothing toner. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to be safe.

People Say

★4.7Overall rating based on 2.2k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, users consistently praise this toner for its lightweight, watery texture that absorbs instantly, making it ideal for sensitive, acne-prone, and oily skin types due to its ability to soothe redness and calm irritation without clogging pores. While many appreciate the gentle exfoliation from PHAs and its refreshing finish, those with very dry skin sometimes find it insufficiently hydrating on its own, often requiring multiple layers or a heavier follow-up moisturizer.
