Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers general hydration for your normal skin due to glycerin, but azelaic acid provides only moderate treatment for blemishes and lacks specialized ingredients to effectively target wrinkles and fine lines.
- The formula is highly suitable for normal skin due to glycerin's humectant action and azelaic acid's mild anti-inflammatory and keratolytic effects.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your normal skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use this serum in your PM routine. Start by applying it 3 times a week, and work up to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply this serum after your toner and before your moisturizer.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
- You can apply the serum on dry skin for the best results against fine lines.
- Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid the sensitive eye area.
People Say
★4.7Overall rating based on 6.5k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, this serum is highly effective for clearing active breakouts and fading acne scars without causing dryness. Thousands of users report significant improvements in acne and redness, with many experiencing their clearest skin. A smaller number of users found it ineffective for hormonal acne or saw no visible changes.

Frontiers in Medicine, 2026Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022
Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This serum goes in your evening routine, as treatments with active ingredients are placed at night for simplicity and extra safety around sun exposure. Mature skin of this type also needs specialized anti-aging ingredients and firming peptides to effectively target wrinkles and fine lines.
Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this treatment with retinol by applying the serum first in your evening routine and following with your retinol. Because this formula is gentle and lacks harsh ingredients, it is unlikely to cause irritation when combined.
How often should I use this serum?
This serum fits into your routine in the evening, which keeps things simple and provides extra safety around sun exposure. Because this is a treatment product for mature skin, a product of this type needs specialized ingredients to effectively target wrinkles and fine lines.
Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
This serum is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores on mature skin due to the absence of harsh or heavy ingredients. To better address mature skin, a product of this type needs specialized ingredients that target wrinkles and fine lines.
Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
