Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your normal skin, this product leverages Centella Asiatica Extract and Madecassoside to effectively soothe inflammation and enhance your skin barrier, addressing your concerns about wrinkles and fine lines.
- Niacinamide and panthenol further support skin regeneration and hydration, contributing to a smoother, more youthful appearance.
- The formulation is safe for your skin, containing no harsh or prohibited ingredients that would pose an irritation risk.
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.
People Say
