Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for combination skin, this serum utilizes Algae Exopolysaccharides and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 to provide antioxidant benefits and stimulate collagen, which helps smooth fine lines and wrinkles. While it offers general hydration and anti-aging effects, it lacks targeted ingredients to address your primary concerns of acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The formulation is safe for your combination skin, as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients that would cause irritation.
- The product is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
People Say
★4.2Overall rating based on 100+ reviewsBased on limited data, this eye serum is frequently praised for smoothing the skin, making makeup application easier, and reducing puffiness and eyelid crepiness. It is also noted as being gentle and suitable for sensitive eyes.

Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this serum with retinol by applying the serum first to clean skin and following with your retinol treatment. It is unlikely to cause irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients, though acne-prone skin needs products with targeted blemish-fighting ingredients and lightweight hydrators.
How often should I use this serum?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
What the research says
Chronomodulated daytime application of baicalin and nighttime application of palmitoyl tripeptide-1 synergistically improved skin luminance by 16.29%, nasolabial fold depth by -36.35%, and firmness by 24.35% in 30 female participants.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2026A Porphyridium sulfated exopolysaccharide- and natural PDRN-rich extract delivered significant hyaluronic acid-like skin plumpness, hydration, and radiance benefits and reduced signs of aging compared to placebo and hyaluronic acid benchmark controls in a clinical trial.
Marine Drugs, 2026The exopolysaccharide EPS-229 protected keratinocytes from lipid peroxidation by 28%, demonstrated heavy metal chelating properties, reduced MDA production by 44% in pollution-exposed skin explants, and limited particle adhesion or aided cleansing in volunteers against placebo.
Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2017Whole Algalin Protein from Chlorella protothecoides showed no adverse effects in a 13-week rat feeding trial up to high dietary concentrations, demonstrated no genotoxicity in in vitro and in vivo assays, and did not induce skin sensitization in humans.
Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2013A multi-modal methodology combining MALDI-MSI, in vivo RCM, echography, and histology revealed age-related decreases in extracellular matrix and epidermal-dermal junction proteins and undulation depth, while a blend of palmitoyl oligopeptide and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 improved subepidermal low-echogenic band thickness, density, and extracellular matrix structure compared to placebo.

Why other eye cares fit acne-prone skin better
Sodium ascorbyl phosphate provides effective antimicrobial action, prevents sebum oxidation, and demonstrates superior clinical efficacy compared to a standard acne treatment in patients with acne vulgaris.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2005Topical combination of 5% sodium ascorbyl phosphate and 0.2% retinol reduced inflammatory acne lesions by 29.28% at 4 weeks and 63.10% at 8 weeks, outperforming either agent alone.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2009A panthenol-enriched mask improved skin hydration, regulated sebum, and reduced redness and TEWL across dry sensitive, oily sensitive, and oily acne skin subgroups with excellent tolerance and no adverse reactions.
