Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers excellent hydration for your normal skin due to the presence of sodium hyaluronate and glycerin, which provide humectant action.
- While beneficial for general skincare, the formulation lacks specialized ingredients to directly target your main goal of addressing wrinkles and fine lines.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your normal skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using the creamy mask 3x a week and build up to daily use if your skin tolerates it.
- Apply the creamy mask after cleansing and toning , but always before your favorite moisturizer.
- Smooth an even layer of the creamy mask over your skin, avoiding any unnecessary rubbing.
- For the best results , apply the creamy mask directly onto clean and dry skin.
- Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid the delicate eye area.
