Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your dry and sensitive skin as sodium hyaluronate crosspolymer, sodium hyaluronate, and glycerin provide superb humectant action, while ceramide np and phytosphingosine repair the skin barrier.
  • Niacinamide further enhances hydration and soothes sensitivity, complementing the plumping and moisturizing effects for dry or flaky skin.
  • The product is safe for your skin, containing no harsh ingredients and including soothing components like hyaluronic acid and niacinamide.

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.
