Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your normal skin due to the humectant action of glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which also offer excellent moisturizing and barrier repair benefits.
  • Acetyl glucosamine and sodium hyaluronate provide moderate benefits for wrinkles and fine lines by supporting skin hydration and texture.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.

How to apply

  • Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help smooth fine lines.
  • Apply this product after your toner and serum, but before your SPF in the morning. Follow your cleanser and toner steps to keep your skin balanced.
  • Gently press a small amount into your face and neck. Avoid rubbing the skin too harshly to prevent extra tension.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. Clean skin helps the product absorb much more evenly.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to stay safe.

People Say

★4.7Overall rating based on 700+ reviews

Its lightweight texture absorbs well and is suitable for use under makeup. However, a significant number of users find the high price point to be a drawback, and some with very dry skin may need an additional moisturizer.
