Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your normal skin, as salicylic acid and acetyl glucosamine provide some exfoliation and barrier support, but it lacks sufficient hydrating and emollient ingredients for optimal results.
  • The formulation is safe for your sensitive skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients, ensuring no risks of irritation.
  • It provides excellent treatment for minimizing the appearance of scars and relevant benefits for redness and irritation due to the presence of salicylic acid, asiaticoside, madecassic acid, and asiatic acid, which soothe and support your skin barrier function.

How to apply

  • Use your serum in the PM routine, starting 3 times a week before building up to daily use if your skin is happy.
  • Apply the serum after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer for the best results.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and wait a minute ⏱ for it to soak in.
  • Since your skin is sensitive and easily irritated, apply the serum on completely dry skin to help keep it calm.
  • Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid getting the serum too close to your eyes .

People Say

★4.1Overall rating based on 900+ reviews

Users report this treatment effectively blurs pitted scars and pores, acting as a good primer with a moderate frequency. It also gradually fades post-acne hyperpigmentation with high frequency. However, results for deep textural changes are mixed, and significant improvement often requires consistent use for at least 8 weeks, which is frequently mentioned as a negative point. The small size and high price are also very common complaints.

Where does this treatment go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This treatment goes in the evening routine after your cleansing and toning steps, and before your moisturizer. It works safely on sensitive skin, though a product of this type for your skin needs more rich hydrators and soothing softeners to keep it feeling completely comfortable.

Can I use this treatment with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this treatment alongside retinol by applying the treatment first in your evening routine and following it with a rich moisturizer to keep your skin calm and hydrated.
