Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your dry skin as glycerin and Centella Asiatica Extract provide anti-inflammatory action and draw water into the skin, offering moderate hydration for dry or flaky skin.
  • The formula is also excellent for your acne-prone skin, with Centella Asiatica Extract and Melaleuca Alternifolia Tree Leaf Water concentrations that effectively reduce acne lesions and blemishes.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your dry skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

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.

People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 400+ reviews

This ampoule is highly recommended for oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types due to its lightweight, fast-absorbing, and non-sticky formula that effectively calms redness and soothes active breakouts. Users with dry skin, however, report that it may not provide adequate hydration and suggest layering with a richer moisturizer.
