Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your normal skin, the presence of Glycerin and Tocopheryl Acetate Vitamin E provides humectant and antioxidant activity respectively, addressing your redness and irritation concerns.
- Magnesium Ascorbyl Phosphate and Allantoin work synergistically to hydrate and brighten your skin while soothing inflammation.
- The formula is safe for your sensitive skin, as it lacks any harsh or prohibited ingredients that could cause irritation.
How to apply
- Use this soothing AM and PM routine every day to keep your normal skin calm. Always remember to apply SPF in the morning after your moisturizer.
- Apply your moisturizer after your toner in the morning, and after your serum in the evening. This step locks in hydration and protects your skin.
- Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer evenly across your face. Avoid rubbing to keep your sensitive skin happy and calm.
- You can apply this gentle formula on dry or slightly damp skin for the best comfort. It works wonderfully on clean skin to soothe redness and irritation.
- Do a patch test before your very first use to check your skin's reaction. Avoid getting the product directly into your eyes .
