Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- This formulation offers moderate suitability for normal skin, as humectants like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide hydration, but it lacks sufficient emollient ingredients to fully address your skin's needs.
- It provides general skincare benefits, such as hydration and soothing, which are supportive for pigmentation, due to ingredients like Sodium Hyaluronate and Algae Extract, but it lacks specialized ingredients to directly target pigmentation.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your normal skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing ingredients like sodium hyaluronate and glycerin.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM and PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply this moisturizer after your cleanser and toner, right before your morning SPF.
- Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing it too hard so it absorbs nicely.
- For the best moisture, you can apply it when your skin is slightly damp. This helps your skin stay soft and happy.
- Remember to avoid the eye area when applying. Always do a patch test before your first use.
