Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your normal skin due to the presence of ceramides, cholesterol, and phytosphingosine for barrier repair and glycerin and propanediol for humectant action.
- Offers moderate benefits for wrinkles and fine lines due to the presence of lactic acid and ceramides in concentrations that provide mild exfoliation and barrier support.
- The product is safe for your skin as it lacks prohibited or harsh ingredients, posing no risk of irritation.
How to apply
- You can use this hydrating toner AM and PM every day to keep your skin smooth. Always pair with SPF in the morning to protect your skin.
- Apply your hydrating toner right after cleansing and before your moisturizer or SPF.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
- Apply the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better and lock in moisture.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a simple patch test before your first use.
People Say
