Lovi Assistant explains
- Excellent suitability for your normal skin and concerns with redness and irritation is provided by Fermented Centella Asiatica and Cica Ceramide, which offer potent anti-inflammatory and barrier-repairing benefits.
- Phytosterols and fatty acids further support skin barrier function and hydration, complementing the primary actives.
- The product is safe for your sensitive skin, featuring soothing ingredients and an absence of harsh or prohibited components.
How to apply
- Use this soothing AM and PM routine every day to keep your normal skin calm. Always remember to apply SPF in the morning after your moisturizer.
- Apply your moisturizer after your toner in the morning, and after your serum in the evening. This step locks in hydration and protects your skin.
- Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer evenly across your face. Avoid rubbing to keep your sensitive skin happy and calm.
- You can apply this gentle formula on dry or slightly damp skin for the best comfort. It works wonderfully on clean skin to soothe redness and irritation.
- Do a patch test before your very first use to check your skin's reaction. Avoid getting the product directly into your eyes .
People Say
★4.6Overall rating based on 4.5k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, this rich cream is highly regarded for its ability to deeply hydrate and repair dry, sensitive, or flaky skin, often described as a "holy grail" product, especially for winter. Users frequently appreciate its unique, stringy texture that absorbs well without feeling greasy. However, some individuals with oily or acne-prone skin find the cream too heavy or potentially pore-clogging.
