Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Suitable for normal skin due to Glycerin and Polyquaternium-51 providing humectant action and barrier repair, which maintain skin hydration and balance, though it lacks targeted ingredients for your redness and irritation.
  • The presence of acetyl dipeptide-1 cetyl ester and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7 offers firming and tightening benefits, which are supportive but not directly addressing your primary concerns.
  • The product is safe for your sensitive skin as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients, ensuring no risk of irritation.

How to apply

  • Use your serum in the PM routine, starting 3 times a week before building up to daily use if your skin is happy.
  • Apply the serum after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer for the best results.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and wait a minute ⏱ for it to soak in.
  • Since your skin is sensitive and easily irritated, apply the serum on completely dry skin to help keep it calm.
  • Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid getting the serum too close to your eyes .
