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

Hibiscus calyx and leaf [extracts](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/extract) visibly calm sun-stressed skin by neutralizing cellular stress, supporting firm [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/collagen) levels, and gently brightening uneven tone. It suits both dry and oily complexions especially well when applied through lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/serum). Because of its fluid texture, it layers easily into any daily regimen.

## Questions and answers

### What does hibiscus do for the skin?

Hibiscus helps protect against photoaging by reducing ultraviolet-induced reactive [oxygen](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/oxygen) species and enhancing [collagen](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/ingredients/collagen) content. It also may block melanin production pathway factors to support a brighter skin appearance.

### How do you use hibiscus?

Hibiscus helps protect skin from photoaging and reduce melanin production. It is unlikely to cause cytotoxicity when used in skincare preparations.

[Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31583701/) [International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37446030/)

### Should you use hibiscus in the morning or at night?

Hibiscus may be used in your skincare routine to help protect against photoaging and improve collagen content. Studies indicate that it helps decrease ultraviolet B-induced reactive oxygen species and blocks melanin production without cytotoxicity.

[Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31583701/) [International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37446030/)

### Can you use hibiscus every day?

Hibiscus may be used daily as it helps reduce oxidative stress and supports collagen content in the skin without causing cytotoxicity. Studies show it helps block melanin production and can improve antioxidant activity.

[Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31583701/) [Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet Thangphaet, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21294418/)

### Does hibiscus cause purging or irritation?

Hibiscus is unlikely to cause irritation and may even help decrease dermal irritability. Studies show that its formulations are designed to have reduced dermal toxicity.

[Journal of the Medical Association of Thailand = Chotmaihet Thangphaet, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21294418/)

### Which skin types is hibiscus best for?

Hibiscus is best for dry skin with top fits like Estée Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Eye Balm and cocokind Revitalizing Eye Cream, for acne-prone skin with cocokind AHA Jelly Cleanser, and for mature skin with cocokind AHA Jelly Cleanser and Estée Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ Youth Power Eye Balm. It also has strong fits for sensitive, combination, oily, and dark spot-prone skin types depending on the specific product chosen.
