Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your dry and sensitive skin as blackberry seed oil and blueberry seed oil provide excellent antioxidant protection and anti-inflammatory benefits, while also offering emollient action for barrier repair.
- Grape seed oil and raspberry seed oil further nourish and protect your dry or flaky skin from environmental stressors.
- The formulation is safe for your skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components.
How to apply
- Use this PM routine for your evening skincare. Start using the serum 3 times a week and increase to daily use if your skin feels comfortable.
- Apply the serum after cleansing and toner, but right before your moisturizer. This step locks in deep hydration for dry skin.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin using your palms. Let it absorb completely for a minute ⏱ before applying your next product.
- Since your skin is sensitive, apply the serum on completely dry skin for better tolerance and less irritation.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Always do a patch test before your first use to ensure your skin reacts well.
