Lovi Assistant explains
- Suitable for normal skin due to the presence of glycerin and olive oil, which provide humectant and emollient actions, respectively, this essence offers excellent hydration. Caulerpa lentillifera extract further enhances moisturizing effects, supporting overall skin health.
- While the formula provides general skincare benefits like hydration and soothing, it lacks specialized ingredients to effectively target your pigmentation concerns.
- The product is safe for your normal skin, as it contains soothing ingredients like chamomile flower water and avoids harsh or prohibited substances.
How to apply
- Use your hydrating toner AM and PM every day to boost glow. Always pair with SPF in the morning to protect against dark spots.
- Apply your hydrating toner after cleansing and before moisturizer or SPF. This step preps your normal skin to better absorb the next products.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin with your hands. Avoid rubbing to keep your face calm and happy.
- Apply the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin to lock in extra moisture. This helps your normal skin stay plump and hydrated all day.
- Always avoid the direct eye area when applying. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to be safe.
