Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for normal skin due to the humectant action of glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which hydrate and plump the skin. However, the product lacks specialized ingredients like Centella Asiatica or Green Tea Extract to effectively address your redness and irritation.
  • While the product provides general skincare benefits, the presence of fragrance poses a potential risk of irritation for your sensitive skin.
  • The safety profile is generally good, with a minor concern for fragrance-induced irritation.

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 .

Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause purging, but the added fragrance may irritate sensitive skin. A product for this skin type needs calming ingredients like Centella Asiatica or Green Tea Extract and no fragrance to keep skin calm and smooth.

Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this moisturizing treatment on your body and around the eyes, though skin in those areas is often thinner and more delicate.
