Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your normal, sensitive skin as Centella Asiatica Extract and Niacinamide provide anti-inflammatory action and barrier repair, calming redness and irritation. Zinc Oxide offers excellent broad-spectrum sun protection, a key benefit for sensitive skin.
  • The inclusion of Madecassic Acid and Asiatic Acid further enhances the soothing properties, making it beneficial for managing your skin's sensitivity.
  • This formula is safe for your sensitive skin, containing no harsh or prohibited ingredients that could cause irritation.

How to apply

  • Apply this sunscreen during your AM routine every morning. Reapply every two hours if you are staying outdoors under direct sunlight.
  • Order in routine: apply the sunscreen as the final step after your moisturizer and before applying makeup.
  • Application method: gently press a nickel-sized amount over your face and neck without harsh rubbing.
  • Skin condition guidance: apply the sunscreen directly onto dry skin for even coverage and reliable sun protection.
  • Safety note: avoid direct contact with your eyes and do a patch test before first use to check for sensitivity.

People Say

★4.4Overall rating based on 200+ reviews

Users with sensitive and acne-prone skin frequently praise this mineral sunscreen for its soothing Centella Asiatica formula and non-irritating properties. Many appreciate the matte finish it provides, which helps control oil. However, a significant number of users note that the texture is thicker than expected and it leaves a noticeable white cast, particularly on medium to deep skin tones.
