Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your normal skin and wrinkles is provided by Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-38, which stimulate collagen production to plump and reduce fine lines.
  • Sodium Hyaluronate further enhances hydration and skin volume, complementing the peptide complex for improved elasticity.
  • The formula is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use this serum in your PM routine. Start by applying it 3 times a week, and work up to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply this serum after your toner and before your moisturizer.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
  • You can apply the serum on dry skin for the best results against fine lines.
  • Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid the sensitive eye area.
