Cichorium intybus root [extract](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/extract) strengthens the skin barrier by decreasing moisture loss, smoothing microrelief, and encouraging helpful microbes to release beneficial post-biotics. It suits most skin types and is commonly available in nourishing [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/serum). Because the formula layers easily, it integrates seamlessly into any daily routine.
