Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your combination skin, this product offers excellent hydration due to sodium acetylated hyaluronate and glycerin, which attract moisture without exacerbating oiliness.
  • It provides moderate benefits for your acne, blemishes, and breakouts with Zingiber Officinale Root Extract and Ascorbyl Glucoside offering antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your combination skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use your serum as part of your PM routine and start 3x/week before working up to daily use.
  • Apply this treatment after cleansing and toner, and before your moisturizer.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
  • Apply the product on clean, dry skin to help manage your breakouts safely.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use.
