Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate benefits for your redness and irritation, as Sodium Hyaluronate and Centella Asiatica provide hydration and soothing effects suitable for normal skin. Vitamin E Tocopheryl Acetate also offers antioxidant activity, complementing the humectant action of Glycerin.
  • The formulation includes Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Ascorbic Acid, which are effective for skin brightening and evening skin tone, though these ingredients carry a slight risk of irritation for your sensitive skin.
  • The product is generally safe for your sensitive skin, with a low potential for adverse reactions.

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 .

Where does it go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This treatment goes in your evening routine, as treatments with active ingredients are placed in the PM for simplicity and extra safety around sun exposure. While it brings soothing hydration, a sensitive skin type needs gentle, barrier-supporting ingredients like hyaluronic acid and centella asiatica without the extra risk of irritation from strong brightening acids.

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

This serum is unlikely to cause severe reactions on sensitive skin, but the brightening ingredients carry a slight risk of irritation when mixed with strong actives like retinol. To use them safely, apply your retinol in the evening and keep this treatment for a separate time, or look for a gentler alternative packed with extra soothing ingredients and hydrating agents to keep your skin calm and smooth.

How often should I use it?

This treatment works well in the evening routine up to a few times a week, as it brings a slight risk of irritation for your sensitive skin. To fit sensitive skin better, a product of this type needs calming plant extracts and gentle hydrators that soothe redness without strong active ingredients.

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

This serum is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for your sensitive skin, as its ingredients carry a low potential for adverse reactions. However, the brightening ingredients inside may cause a slight risk of irritation. A product for this skin needs gentle soothing ingredients and hydrating agents like hyaluronic acid and Centella asiatica to keep skin calm and smooth.
