# Skullcap

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/skullcap

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Singapore.

Skincare infused with skullcap visibly softens fine lines, smooths rough texture, brightens dark spots, and firms lax skin over twelve weeks of consistent use. It suits dry skin and oily skin particularly well when applied through lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/ingredients/serum). Because this botanical layers easily, it integrates seamlessly into almost any daily regimen.

## Questions and answers

### What does skullcap do for the skin?
