Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your dry skin is provided by multiple forms of hyaluronic acid and polyglutamic acid, which offer superior humectant action to hydrate and plump, while Centella Asiatica Extract calms any irritation and supports skin barrier function.
  • Ceramide NP and hydrogenated lecithin further enhance barrier repair, ensuring your dry or flaky skin retains moisture effectively.
  • The formulation is exceptionally safe, free from harsh ingredients and rich in soothing components, making it ideal for sensitive skin.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your soothing toner 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply your soothing toner after cleansing, and before putting on 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 adding your next product.
  • Apply the soothing toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better. This works great for dry or flaky skin to lock in extra moisture.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area when applying the soothing toner. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to be safe.
