Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers excellent hydration for your normal skin, as rice bran water and ceramide NP work synergistically to moisturize and strengthen your skin barrier. Allantoin and panthenol further support your skin by soothing redness and irritation.
  • Hyaluronic acid and betaine provide humectant action, enhancing overall skin comfort and suppleness.
  • The formulation is safe for your sensitive skin, featuring soothing ingredients like ceramide and panthenol with no harsh or prohibited components.

How to apply

  • Use your hydrating toner in both your AM and PM routines. Start 3 times per week and move to daily use if your skin feels good.
  • Apply your hydrating toner right after cleansing and before putting on your moisturizer or SPF.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin and let it absorb for a minute before the next step.
  • For sensitive skin, apply the hydrating toner on dry skin to keep it calm and comfortable.
  • Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid the sensitive eye area.

People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 400+ reviews

Users consistently praise this toner for delivering a "glass skin" finish, offering lightweight yet deep hydration that leaves the skin plump and radiant without feeling heavy.
