Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your dry skin as humectants like Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate provide hydration, though it lacks sufficient emollient and occlusive ingredients for optimal moisture retention.
  • The serum effectively brightens and evens skin tone due to niacinamide and alpha-arbutin, while ingredients like Centella Asiatica Extract and Panthenol offer soothing benefits for dry or flaky skin.
  • The product is safe for your dry skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components.

How to apply

  • Apply this serum PM, starting 3×/week and working up to daily use as your skin adjusts.
  • Place the serum after cleansing and toner, but right before your moisturizer.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
  • Apply the serum on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use.

Based on a very large amount of data, this serum is widely praised for delivering "glass skin" results, significantly smoothing rough texture and providing a radiant, dewy glow.
