Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your combination skin, the salicylic acid and decylene glycol work synergistically to manage both oily and dry areas, addressing your oily shine. Isobutylamido thiazolyl resorcinol and salicylic acid offer excellent treatment for acne-prone skin by exfoliating and evening skin tone.
  • Glycerin and panthenol provide supportive hydration and soothing effects beneficial for combination skin.
  • The formula is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use your serum as part of your PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply the serum after cleansing and toner, and right before your moisturizer.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and wait a minute ⏳for it to soak in.
  • Apply the serum on clean and dry skin since your skin is not sensitive.
  • Always do a patch test before using the serum for the first time, and avoid the eye area .
