Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers excellent moisturizing for your normal skin due to sodium hyaluronate and glycerin, which hydrate and plump effectively, while lactic acid and salicylic acid provide moderate exfoliation to address wrinkles and fine lines.
  • Ceramides and cholesterol further support your skin barrier, enhancing overall skin health and resilience.
  • The formulation is safe for your normal skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components like Aminopropyl Ascorbyl Phosphate and Urea.

How to apply

  • Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help smooth fine lines.
  • Apply this product after your toner and serum, but before your SPF in the morning. Follow your cleanser and toner steps to keep your skin balanced.
  • Gently press a small amount into your face and neck. Avoid rubbing the skin too harshly to prevent extra tension.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. Clean skin helps the product absorb much more evenly.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to stay safe.
