Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin due to glycerin and shea butter, which hydrate and support barrier resilience, while ingredients like chamomile and calendula offer soothing benefits. Salicylic acid provides some exfoliation, but the formula lacks sufficient oil-controlling agents for your oily zones.
  • The presence of Aloe Barbadensis Juice and other botanical extracts offers general skincare benefits that can support your oily shine and combination skin.
  • The product is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components.

How to apply

  • Use this moisturizer in your AM and PM routine every day to control shine. Always pair with SPF in the morning.
  • Apply this moisturizer after your cleanser and toner, right before your morning SPF.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin and avoid harsh rubbing. Let it ⏳absorb for a minute.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help it lock in moisture better. This keeps your combination skin balanced.
  • Avoid the eye area when applying the moisturizer. Do a patch test before your first use.
