Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for normal skin with redness and irritation due to the presence of Phyllostachys Nigra Leaf Extract and Beta-Glucan, which effectively soothe and hydrate. Glycerin and Betaine further enhance this humectant action, providing balanced moisture for your skin type.
- The formulation offers excellent hydration with moderate concentrations of glycerin and beta-glucan, addressing your primary concerns of redness and irritation.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your sensitive skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
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.
