Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent compatibility with your dry skin is provided by sodium hyaluronate and saccharide isomerate, which offer superior hydration, while jojoba esters and sunflower seed oil deliver emollient benefits to combat flakiness. Glycerin further enhances humectant action, ensuring your skin remains moisturized and comfortable throughout the day.
  • The formula offers robust UV protection with octocrylene and ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, safeguarding your skin from sun damage.
  • This product is safe for your skin, as it contains soothing ingredients like bisabolol and Cardiospermum Halicacabum Vine Extract Flower Leaf, with no harsh or irritating components.

How to apply

  • Apply this sunscreen during your AM routine every morning. Reapply every two hours when exposed to the sun.
  • Apply the sunscreen as the final step in your morning routine after your moisturizer.
  • Gently smooth a nickel-sized amount over your face and neck, avoiding harsh rubbing.
  • Apply the sunscreen on clean, dry skin to ensure even protection and absorption.
  • Avoid the immediate eye area and do a patch test before first use.

People Say

Based on limited data, users with normal to dry skin generally appreciate the product's lightweight, silky feel and its ability to prime the skin for makeup without leaving a white cast. Those with oily or combination skin often find the finish too shiny or greasy, and many users across all skin types criticize the very runny, watery consistency which makes application messy.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2008

What does Octinoxate do for dry skin?

Octinoxate provides sun protection, but a product for dry skin also needs rich, nourishing ingredients and heavy barrier protectors to keep skin soft and prevent moisture loss.

What does Avobenzone do for dry skin?

Avobenzone provides broad sun protection while you are outdoors, but this type of product needs added soothing ingredients like plant oils or ceramides to help comfort dry skin.

Where does it go in a skincare routine for dry skin?

This SPF goes on in the morning as the last step of your skincare routine, right after your moisturizer. It helps safeguard your skin from sun damage while keeping it soft and comfortable all day.

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

Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?

This product is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for dry skin, as it contains soothing ingredients like bisabolol and lacks harsh components that typically trigger irritation. It does not cause purging because it does not accelerate cell turnover.

Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (benzyl alcohol, parfum, limonene, and citronellol).
