Lovi Assistant explains

  • High suitability for your oily skin is provided by humectants like Glycerin and Sodium PCA, which hydrate without heaviness, complemented by Jojoba Seed Oil for balanced emollience.
  • The formula offers excellent soothing and hydrating benefits, with Chamomilla Recutita Flower Water and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract calming the skin, though it does not directly target the reduction of oily shine.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components.

  • Apply your soothing toner after cleansing and before your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the soothing toner into your skin with your hands. Let it absorb for a minute before moving on ⏱ to the next step.
  • For the best results , apply your soothing toner to slightly damp skin to help it sink in better.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a quick patch test before using the soothing toner for the very first time.
