# Calamine

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/calamine

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

Topical application of calamine visibly reduces inflammatory acne lesions, diminishes redness, and selectively calms irritation without causing unwanted erythema or local toxicity. This soothing ingredient suits both dry skin and oily skin well and is commonly available in lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/ingredients/serum). Furthermore, it fits easily into any daily routine because it layers smoothly with other products.
