Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate plumping for your normal skin due to glaucine, which enhances elasticity, but lacks specialized ingredients like peptides or retinoids to effectively target your wrinkles and fine lines.
  • Lactobacillus provides general skincare benefits and hydration, which are supportive but not directly beneficial for your primary concern of wrinkles and fine lines.
  • The product is safe for your normal skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use this serum in your PM routine. Start by applying it 3 times a week, and work up to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply this serum after your toner and before your moisturizer.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
  • You can apply the serum on dry skin for the best results against fine lines.
  • Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid the sensitive eye area.
