Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate brightening for your combination skin as niacinamide and 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid work to even skin tone and provide antioxidant activity.
  • These ingredients also offer moderate benefits for your acne and blemishes by helping with inflammation and brightening.
  • The formulation is safe for your combination skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like Panthenol and Tocopherol.

How to apply

  • Use your serum as part of your PM routine and start 3x/week before working up to daily use.
  • Apply this treatment after cleansing and toner, and before your moisturizer.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
  • Apply the product on clean, dry skin to help manage your breakouts safely.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use.
