This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with sensitive skin: redness, stinging, and reactions to new products. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A great choice for sensitive skin; a few cleansing masks fit it even better.

## Why this fit

- Sodium Hyaluronate and Canadian Colloidal Clay further enhance the humectant and cleansing properties, ensuring your skin feels balanced and refreshed.
- The product is safe for your sensitive skin, as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients that could cause irritation.
