Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your normal skin with sensitivity, as squalane and glycerin provide emollient and humectant actions to support hydration and barrier function, while Panthenol and Allantoin soothe redness and irritation.
- The multiple forms of hyaluronic acid work synergistically to offer excellent moisturizing benefits, hydrating and plumping your skin effectively.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.
How to apply
- Use this soothing AM and PM routine every day to keep your normal skin calm. Always remember to apply SPF in the morning after your moisturizer.
- Apply your moisturizer after your toner in the morning, and after your serum in the evening. This step locks in hydration and protects your skin.
- Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer evenly across your face. Avoid rubbing to keep your sensitive skin happy and calm.
- You can apply this gentle formula on dry or slightly damp skin for the best comfort. It works wonderfully on clean skin to soothe redness and irritation.
- Do a patch test before your very first use to check your skin's reaction. Avoid getting the product directly into your eyes .
People Say
★4.6Overall rating based on 1.4k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, this moisturizer is highly effective at providing deep, lasting hydration with a lightweight, non-sticky feel that absorbs quickly. It is frequently noted for creating a desirable glowy, glass-skin finish and is often praised for its suitability for sensitive skin and as a base for makeup. Some users with oily or acne-prone skin have reported experiencing breakouts or congestion, and a moderate number found the finish too shiny or greasy, particularly in humid conditions. A low number of users felt it was insufficient for very dry winter conditions.
