Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate hydration for your combination skin, as Pseudoalteromonas Exopolysaccharides and Glycerin provide moisturizing effects, while Superoxide Dismutase and Pseudoalteromonas Exopolysaccharides support antioxidant activity and barrier repair. However, the formula lacks targeted ingredients for oil control, which is your main concern for oily shine.
  • The presence of Sodium Salicylate offers some general skincare benefits but carries a slight risk of irritation for your combination skin.
  • This product is generally safe for your combination skin.

How to apply

  • Use this hydrating toner in your AM and PM routines. Start 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply this hydrating toner after your cleanser and before your moisturizer or SPF. This keeps your skin balanced and ready.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin with your hands. Let it ⏳absorb for a minute before the next step.
  • Apply the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better. Clean skin gives the best results for your oily shine goal.
  • Avoid the eye area when using your hydrating toner. Always do a quick patch test before your first use.

Questions and answers

How well does NIOD Superoxide Dismutase Saccharide Mist work for combination skin?

This hydrating toner works okay for your combination skin, offering moderate moisture and antioxidant support, but it lacks ingredients to manage oily shine.
