This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with mature skin: fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A great choice for mature skin; a few serums fit it even better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate hydration for your normal skin due to the presence of glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which support moisturizing and provide humectant action.
- Benefits for wrinkles and fine lines are addressed by adenosine and Saccharomyces Xylinum Black Tea Ferment, promoting collagen production and antioxidant protection.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

([Scientific Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34552134/))
- Fermentation of grape stems extract using a Scoby consortium for 10 and 20 days increases phenolic content and antioxidant activity, and when added to model cosmetic creams, improves skin hydration and reduces transepidermal water loss.
