Lovi Assistant explains

  • This product offers excellent hydration for your dry and sensitive skin, as multiple forms of hyaluronic acid work synergistically to deeply moisturize and plump the skin, while Centella Asiatica Extract provides soothing benefits.
  • Glycerin and phytosqualane further enhance its emollient and humectant properties, making it highly suitable for dry skin.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica Extract and Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract ensuring no irritation for your sensitive skin.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using this moisturizer 3 times a week and move to daily use if your dry skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply this moisturizer after cleansing and toner in the morning, or after your serum in the evening. Always pair it with SPF in the morning.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing it harshly to protect your sensitive skin.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help with hydration absorption. This also works well for dry and flaky skin types.
  • Do a patch test before your first use. Avoid the eye area to prevent any irritation.

People Say

★4.5Overall rating based on 1.5k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, this lightweight gel-cream is highly praised for its fast-absorbing, non-greasy formula that provides a 'glass skin' finish, making it a favorite for oily and combination skin, especially in warm weather. Many users also appreciate its hydrating and plumping effects, as well as its cooling and soothing properties. However, users with dry skin or those in colder climates frequently find it insufficient on its own, noting a need for additional layers to prevent tightness.
