Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/fig

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Ireland.

Topical preparations of fig visibly soothe irritated skin by reducing redness, flaking, and dryness while noticeably boosting natural hydration and balancing excess oil. This gentle botanical [extract](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/extract) suits most skin types and is most commonly found in nourishing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/serum). Because of its light texture, it layers easily into any existing daily skincare routine.
