Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin as Artemisia Princeps Extract provides excellent soothing and calming effects, which are generally beneficial but do not specifically target oily shine.
  • While the formula is safe for your oily skin and free from harsh ingredients, it lacks specialized components for optimal oil control.
  • The product is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your soothing toner 3 times a week and work up to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply your soothing toner after cleansing and before your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the soothing toner into your skin with your hands. Let it absorb for a minute before moving on ⏱ to the next step.
  • For the best results , apply your soothing toner to slightly damp skin to help it sink in better.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a quick patch test before using the soothing toner for the very first time.
