The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Italy.

Brand: Mamonde

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with dry sensitive skin: flakiness, tightness, redness, fine lines, and wrinkles. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A poor match for dry sensitive skin; the products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation for dry or flaky skin due to the presence of alcohol and sea silt, which can be drying and may not adequately hydrate your dry skin.
- The moderate pore cleansing from sea silt and houttuynia cordata extract is present, but the formula lacks deeply hydrating ingredients to counteract the drying effects of alcohol.

## What the research says

- Quercetin phospholipids 1% cream significantly reduced UV-, histamine-, and chemical-induced skin erythema (-10.05%) and mean wheal diameter in 30 healthy human volunteers, showing comparable efficacy to 1% dexchlorpheniramine cream. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27013898/))
- Quercetin-loaded niosomes formulated with Span60-RH40 at a 9:11 mass ratio improved quercetin solubility, photostability, sustained release, and transdermal penetration, yielding a skin retention 2.95 times higher than quercetin solution. ([Molecules, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31238562/))
- Optimized rutin-loaded glycerosomes formulated into a nanosunscreen gel demonstrated sustained drug release, greater skin permeation, good antioxidant activity, and better epidermal retention compared to the dermis, indicating high safety, stability, and sun protection factor values for topical administration. ([Gels, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37754433/))
- Topical treatments containing rosehip extract may reduce the size and erythema of postsurgical scars through macrophage polarization and inflammatory cytokine inhibition, though current clinical evidence remains insufficient to recommend its routine use. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37605366/))
- Sunflower and rosehip oil nanoemulsions prepared with a mix of phospholipids and synthetic emulsifiers permeated intact skin to the dermis and showed a more prominent healing effect in a human organotypic skin explant culture wound model compared to nanoemulsions prepared only with phospholipids. ([Pharmaceutics, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36986857/))
- Topical treatment with rosehip seed oil stimulates hair growth in telogenic C57BL/6 mice by inducing the early transition of hair follicles from the telogen to the anagen phase and upregulating hair growth-associated genes. ([Preventive Nutrition and Food Science, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38188083/))
- Artemisia princeps-derived nanovesicles accelerate cell proliferation, decrease senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity, inhibit MMP-1 activity more effectively than EGCG, and increase procollagen type I expression in human dermal cells and skin models. ([Journal of Extracellular Biology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40292385/))
- Artemisia annua aqueous extract increased the itching threshold, inhibited TSLP expression, and promoted FLG mRNA expression in in vitro and in vivo models. ([Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37604330/))
- Artemisia Capillaris Thunb. extract protects human HaCaT keratinocytes from UVB-induced apoptosis and inflammation by suppressing the cGAS/STING signaling pathway. ([Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology. B, Biology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39032373/))
- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- A red ginseng hydrogel formulation with 1,2-hexanediol promoted selective growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis and decreased Cutibacterium acnes in 20 female subjects. ([Journal of Ginseng Research, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35509819/))
- Sensory skin irritation potential of 1,2-alkanediols increased with alkane chain length, whereas 1,2-hexanediol showed the lowest objective skin irritation potential compared to both shorter and longer chain lengths, and percutaneous absorption negatively correlated with alkane chain length. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21585401/))

## What reviewers say

Users with oily and combination skin generally praise this bi-phase toner for its ability to effectively absorb excess sebum and leave a matte, fresh finish without stripping moisture. While many appreciate its deep cleansing properties and cooling sensation, some reviewers note that it does not significantly shrink pore size and the high alcohol content can be irritating for sensitive or dry skin types.

## How to apply

- Use this toner as part of your AM and PM routine. Start applying it 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin feels good.
- Apply this toner right after cleansing and before putting on your moisturizer or SPF.
- Gently press 2 to 3 drops of the toner into your face. Let it soak in for a minute before adding your next product.
- Put the toner on slightly damp skin to help it soak in better and soothe dry areas. Since your skin is sensitive, applying it on dry skin is also fine for extra comfort.
- Do a patch test before your first use and gently avoid the eye area .
