Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your combination skin is provided by glycerin and malachite extract, which offer humectant action and antioxidant benefits respectively, supporting barrier resilience.
  • The formula also delivers excellent moisturizing due to glycerin and shea butter, enhancing hydration for your skin.
  • This product is safe for your acne-prone skin as it contains soothing calendula officinalis flower extract and lacks harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help keep breakouts under control.
  • Apply after your cleanser and toner, and make sure to use your SPF right after in the morning.
  • Gently spread a small amount of moisturizer over your face using soft motions. Let it absorb into the skin for a minute before getting dressed or applying makeup.
  • Apply on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. This keeps your combination skin balanced without feeling heavy.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use. Stop using if you feel any irritation.

People Say

Some users with dry skin or in colder climates report it may not be moisturizing enough, sometimes needing a heavier cream. A moderate number of users find the fragrance overpowering, while a low number mention concerns about the price and a sticky finish.
