Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers high suitability for your oily skin due to the humectant action of saccharide isomerate and butylene glycol, which also provide excellent hydration and moderate benefits for oily shine.
- Rosa damascena flower water and sodium carboxymethyl betaglucan further enhance moisturization and balancing effects, contributing to smoother, more hydrated skin.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.
How to apply
- Use your hydrating toner in your AM and PM routine every day to keep skin fresh.
- Apply this product after cleansing and before your moisturizer or SPF.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin and let it absorb.
- Apply the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better.

People Say
★4.7Overall rating based on 500+ reviewsUsers with dry and sensitive skin frequently praise this toner for its gentle, hydrating properties and its ability to remove residual makeup without stripping the skin barrier. While many find the product soothing and effective for calming redness, the natural organic rose scent is highly polarizing; some describe it as fresh and relaxing, while others find it repulsive or reminiscent of "damp" or "rotten" smells.
