Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for normal skin, this formula leverages Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil and Glycerin to provide emollient and humectant benefits, maintaining your skin's hydration and barrier function.
- While offering general skincare benefits like hydration and soothing from ingredients such as Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, its direct impact on wrinkles and fine lines is supportive rather than primary.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components.
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.
