Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration for your oily skin due to hyaluronic acid and ceramides, which support barrier repair and emollient action but do not directly address oily shine.
- Panthenol and ceramide NP provide beneficial hydration and barrier support, though the formula lacks sufficient seboregulating ingredients for optimal results on oily skin.
- The product is safe for your oily skin, with no risks of irritation from harsh or prohibited ingredients.
How to apply
- Use your hydrating toner in your AM and PM routine every day to keep skin fresh.
- Apply this product after cleansing and before your moisturizer or SPF.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin and let it absorb.
- Apply the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better.
- Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your very first use.
People Say
★4.7Overall rating based on 200+ reviewsUsers with dry, sensitive, and dehydrated skin praise these hydrogel pads for their immediate cooling and soothing effects, often describing them as a "mini sheet mask" that reduces redness and repairs the skin barrier. While the unique jelly texture eliminates friction and creates a "glass skin" base for makeup, some users find the pads slippery and difficult to keep in place compared to traditional cotton toner pads.

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

Can this toner clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This toner is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for oily skin, as it is generally safe and free of harsh or irritating ingredients. However, because it focuses on moisture rather than oil control, an oily skin type usually needs ingredients that help balance oil production and keep shine under control.

Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
