Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your oily skin, this serum provides excellent hydration with glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, while niacinamide helps regulate oil production. The inclusion of Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and oat kernel extract offers soothing benefits that support your skin's overall health.
  • While it addresses oiliness and provides general hydration, it lacks specialized ingredients to directly target your concerns of acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
  • The product is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to its gentle formulation and the presence of soothing ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use this AM and PM routine every day to help clear your skin. Always remember to finish with SPF in the morning.
  • Apply the moisturizer after your cleanser and toner, right before your SPF during the day.
  • Gently press a small amount into your skin and avoid rubbing to keep pores clear.
  • Apply on clean, slightly damp skin to help the product absorb better and control oil.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a simple patch test before your first use.
