Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate hydration for your combination skin, with Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid Complex providing humectant benefits to support overall skin health.
  • The inclusion of Hydrolyzed Collagen, Water-Soluble Collagen, and Atelocollagen aims to provide plumping and firming effects, though it lacks specific ingredients to target oily shine.
  • The product is safe for your combination skin, as it contains soothing ingredients like Panthenol and Allantoin and avoids harsh or prohibited substances.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your creamy mask 3x a week and work up to daily use if your skin tolerates it.
  • Apply your creamy mask after cleansing and toning, but before your moisturizer to lock in benefits. This step fits nicely right in the middle of your daily routine.
  • Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask gently over your face, avoiding any unnecessary heavy rubbing. Let it sit for a few minutes ⏱ so your skin can drink it in.
  • Apply the creamy mask on clean and dry skin to help manage oily shine effectively. This ensures the product works best for your combination skin type.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a simple patch test before your very first use to make sure your skin is happy.
