Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate plumping and elasticity improvement for your normal skin due to multiple forms of collagen and sodium hyaluronate, which support skin structure and hydration. Niacinamide further aids in barrier repair, complementing the collagen-boosting effects.
  • While the formula provides general hydration with glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, it does not specifically target your concerns of redness and irritation.
  • The product is safe for your sensitive skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and carries no risk of irritation.

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 this serum go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This treatment goes in the evening routine after your soothing toner and before your moisturizer. It is safe for sensitive skin because it lacks harsh ingredients, but a product for this skin also needs soothing ingredients to target redness and irritation.

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

You can use this treatment alongside retinol by applying it after your retinol to help keep your skin hydrated and comfortable. This type of product needs soothing and calming ingredients like centella asiatica or green tea to actively target redness and irritation.

How often should I use this serum?

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

This serum is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for sensitive skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and carries a very safe profile.
