Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers excellent hydration for your combination skin due to squalane and sodium hyaluronate, which provide effective moisturizing without overwhelming oily zones.
  • While the formulation is safe and beneficial for general skincare, its primary focus on hydration offers limited direct support for your main goal of managing oily shine.
  • The product is safe for your combination skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and poses no irritation risks.

How to apply

  • Use this hydrating toner in your AM and PM routines. Start 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply this hydrating toner after your cleanser and before your moisturizer or SPF. This keeps your skin balanced and ready.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin with your hands. Let it ⏳absorb for a minute before the next step.
  • Apply the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better. Clean skin gives the best results for your oily shine goal.
  • Avoid the eye area when using your hydrating toner. Always do a quick patch test before your first use.
