Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your normal skin is provided by Lactobacillus Lysate Ferment and Bifida Ferment Filtrate, which offer superb barrier repair and humectant action, complementing the high concentrations of Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate for superior hydration.
  • While the formula offers excellent hydration and barrier support, it does not directly target your main goal of pigmentation.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like Allantoin and Panthenol.

How to apply

  • Use your hydrating toner AM and PM every day to boost glow. Always pair with SPF in the morning to protect against dark spots.
  • Apply your hydrating toner after cleansing and before moisturizer or SPF. This step preps your normal skin to better absorb the next products.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin with your hands. Avoid rubbing to keep your face calm and happy.
  • Apply the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin to lock in extra moisture. This helps your normal skin stay plump and hydrated all day.
  • Always avoid the direct eye area when applying. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to be safe.
