Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your dry and sensitive skin, this product leverages Bifida Lysate Ferment and sodium hyaluronate to deeply hydrate and support your skin barrier, effectively addressing dryness and flakiness. Palmitoyl Oligopeptide further aids in minimizing fine lines, enhancing its anti-aging benefits.
  • The inclusion of glycerin and panthenol provides additional humectant and barrier-repairing properties, ensuring comprehensive care for your dry skin.
  • The formulation is safe for your skin, with no harsh ingredients that could cause irritation.

How to apply

  • Use this PM routine for your evening skincare. Start using the serum 3 times a week and increase to daily use if your skin feels comfortable.
  • Apply the serum after cleansing and toner, but right before your moisturizer. This step locks in deep hydration for dry skin.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin using your palms. Let it absorb completely for a minute ⏱ before applying your next product.
  • Since your skin is sensitive, apply the serum on completely dry skin for better tolerance and less irritation.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Always do a patch test before your first use to ensure your skin reacts well.
