Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your oily skin is provided by niacinamide and centella asiatica extract, which work to regulate sebum and reduce inflammation, directly addressing your concerns with acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
  • The formula also offers excellent hydration through glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, ensuring your skin remains moisturized without feeling heavy.
  • The product is safe for your skin, with soothing ingredients like Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract preventing irritation.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin feels fine.
  • Apply your hydrating toner after cleansing and before putting on your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin with your hands. Let it ⏱absorb for a minute before adding your next product.
  • Applying the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin helps your face absorb it better. This keeps your oily skin balanced and hydrated.
  • Be sure to avoid the eye area when applying. Do a patch test before your first use to check for any reaction.
