Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your oily skin, this product utilizes Gaultheria Procumbens Leaf Extract for its exfoliating properties and Houttuynia Cordata Extract to calm inflammation, directly addressing your oily shine concerns.
- The inclusion of Glycerin and Allantoin ensures a gentle experience, making it a safe choice for your skin.
- This formulation is well-balanced and free from harsh ingredients, posing no risk of irritation for your oily skin.
How to apply
- Use this serum in your PM routine. Start by applying it 3 times a week and build up to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
- Apply the serum after cleansing and toning, but right before your moisturizer for the best results.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin. Let it absorb ⏱ for a minute before applying the next product.
- Apply the serum on clean and dry skin since your skin is not sensitive and you want to target oily shine. This helps control excess oil throughout the night.
- Avoid the delicate eye area and do a patch test before using the serum for the very first time.
