Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate skin soothing for your dry skin due to Centella Asiatica Extract's anti-inflammatory action, which helps calm irritation and provides mild hydration.
  • While beneficial for dryness, the formula lacks sufficient humectant and emollient ingredients for optimal hydration.
  • The product is safe for your dry skin as it contains no prohibited or harsh ingredients, minimizing irritation risks.

How to apply

  • Apply this serum PM, starting 3×/week and working up to daily use as your skin adjusts.
  • Place the serum after cleansing and toner, but right before your moisturizer.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
  • Apply the serum on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use.
