Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your dry and sensitive skin as Centella Asiatica Extract provides anti-inflammatory action and supports barrier repair, effectively calming irritation and addressing dryness.
  • The moderate concentration of Centella Asiatica Extract offers relevant soothing and hydrating benefits for your dry or flaky skin.
  • The product is safe for your skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients, posing no risk of irritation.

How to apply

  • Use this PM routine for your evening skincare. Start using the serum 3 times a week and increase to daily use if your skin feels comfortable.
  • Apply the serum after cleansing and toner, but right before your moisturizer. This step locks in deep hydration for dry skin.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin using your palms. Let it absorb completely for a minute ⏱ before applying your next product.
  • Since your skin is sensitive, apply the serum on completely dry skin for better tolerance and less irritation.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Always do a patch test before your first use to ensure your skin reacts well.
