Lovi Assistant explains

  • Suitable for normal skin, this product offers moderate moisturizing due to glycerin and urea, which hydrate and enhance barrier resilience. Cholesterol and ceramide NP further support barrier repair, making it a good choice for maintaining overall skin health.
  • While it provides general skincare benefits like hydration for redness and irritation, it lacks specialized ingredients to directly target and reduce inflammation.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your sensitive skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use this soothing AM and PM routine every day to keep your normal skin calm. Always remember to apply SPF in the morning after your moisturizer.
  • Apply your moisturizer after your toner in the morning, and after your serum in the evening. This step locks in hydration and protects your skin.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer evenly across your face. Avoid rubbing to keep your sensitive skin happy and calm.
  • You can apply this gentle formula on dry or slightly damp skin for the best comfort. It works wonderfully on clean skin to soothe redness and irritation.
  • Do a patch test before your very first use to check your skin's reaction. Avoid getting the product directly into your eyes .

Questions and answers

This product works well enough for sensitive skin by offering moderate hydration and supporting barrier repair, though it lacks specialized ingredients to directly target redness and irritation. A moisturizing treatment for this skin needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica, Cica Ceramide, and nourishing oils to actively calm redness while keeping skin soft and balanced.

Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for sensitive skin?

This cream is a good fit for sensitive skin because it contains glycerin and urea to hydrate and support your barrier, along with cholesterol and ceramide NP to help repair it. It is also unlikely to cause irritation since it lacks harsh ingredients. However, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica and nourishing oils to actively target redness and irritation for this skin.

How often should I use it?

You can use this moisturizing treatment daily to help keep your sensitive skin hydrated and supported, as it is very safe and unlikely to cause irritation. To fit this skin better, a product of this type needs specialized ingredients to directly target and reduce inflammation.

Health Science Reports, 2021Dermatology, 2003

Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on sensitive skin because it has an excellent safety profile without harsh ingredients. However, to better soothe sensitive skin and calm redness or irritation, a product of this type needs specialized anti-inflammatory ingredients.

Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this moisturizing treatment on your body and around the eyes because it is very safe and unlikely to cause irritation on sensitive skin. However, since it only provides moderate hydration and lacks specialized ingredients to directly target inflammation, sensitive skin needs a product of this type containing soothing botanicals and targeted calming agents for these delicate areas.

Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
