Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your dry and sensitive skin is provided by the high concentrations of Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate, which offer superior hydration and barrier support, complemented by Centella Asiatica Leaf Water and Panthenol for soothing effects.
  • Squalane and Betaine further enhance the formula's ability to nourish and comfort dry or flaky skin, ensuring a smooth and hydrated complexion.
  • The product is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of calming components.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using this moisturizer 3 times a week and move to daily use if your dry skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply this moisturizer after cleansing and toner in the morning, or after your serum in the evening. Always pair it with SPF in the morning.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing it harshly to protect your sensitive skin.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help with hydration absorption. This also works well for dry and flaky skin types.
  • Do a patch test before your first use. Avoid the eye area to prevent any irritation.

People Say

This serum is widely praised as a "skin savior" for dehydrated, dull, and sensitive complexions, with users frequently reporting a "glass skin" glow and improved texture.
