Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate benefits for your normal skin, as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide essential hydration while Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil nourishes. Acetyl hexapeptide-8 is present to help smooth texture, though it may not be in sufficient concentration to significantly target wrinkles and fine lines.
  • The formula is generally safe for your normal skin, with niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate offering soothing properties and no harsh ingredients detected.
  • This product provides general skincare benefits, including hydration, which is relevant for wrinkles and fine lines.

How to apply

  • Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help smooth fine lines.
  • Apply this product after your toner and serum, but before your SPF in the morning. Follow your cleanser and toner steps to keep your skin balanced.
  • Gently press a small amount into your face and neck. Avoid rubbing the skin too harshly to prevent extra tension.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. Clean skin helps the product absorb much more evenly.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to stay safe.

What does Argireline do for mature skin?

Argireline helps smooth out lines and makes mature skin look firmer and less rough when used twice a day. It may also help keep skin hydrated, though its penetration is naturally limited.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2013Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2013

What does Niacinamide do for mature skin?

Niacinamide helps mature skin by smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, reducing dark spots, and improving overall skin elasticity. It is also very well tolerated and supports a strong skin barrier to keep skin looking healthy.

Antioxidants, 2021Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2004

Where does it go in a skincare routine for mature skin?

This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and toning, and before your moisturizer. Applying treatments at night is best for simplicity and extra safety around sun exposure, though some may also be used in the morning or twice a day.

Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this moisturizing treatment with retinol by applying the serum first to hydrate and help smooth your skin, followed by your retinol product. This approach provides essential moisture that is unlikely to cause irritation and supports your mature skin.

Cutis, 2006Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

How often should I use it?

You can use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine for mature skin. Daily application helps improve skin moisture and texture over time.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021

Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?

Yes, this moisturizing treatment may cause breakouts for mature skin, as some reviewers report this issue. However, the formula is generally safe and unlikely to cause harsh irritation since it contains soothing ingredients like niacinamide.

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

You can use this moisturizing treatment around your eyes and on your body, as its gentle formula is safe and well tolerated. The skin around the eyes is particularly thin, so hydrating ingredients like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate help keep it soft and smooth without irritation.

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002Polymers, 2023

Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (benzyl alcohol).
