Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your dry and sensitive skin, this formula leverages squalane and caprylic capric triglyceride to provide emollient action and barrier repair, while peptides like Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 smooth texture and minimize fine lines.
- The inclusion of Arnica Montana Extract and Dunaliella Salina Extract offers soothing benefits, further supporting your skin's hydration and barrier function.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of calming 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.
