Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Excellent brightening and evening of skin tone for you is provided by niacinamide and sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which work effectively on dark spots without irritating your dry and sensitive skin.
- The inclusion of Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil and Glycerin offers significant emollient and humectant benefits, deeply hydrating your dry skin.
- The product is safe for your skin as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients, ensuring no risk of 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.
