Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your combination skin, this sunscreen leverages niacinamide to regulate sebum production and zinc oxide for excellent UV protection and mattifying effects, addressing your oily shine concerns.
  • Sodium hyaluronate and rice extract further support hydration and skin balance, enhancing its overall efficacy for your skin type.
  • The formula is safe for your skin, with no harsh ingredients or irritants identified.

How to apply

  • Apply this moisturizing sunscreen AM daily to protect your skin and control shine. Reapply as needed throughout the day.
  • Use it as the final step of your morning routine after applying your moisturizer. It combines hydration and sun protection in one.
  • Gently smooth a nickel-sized amount evenly over your face, avoiding harsh rubbing. Let it absorb fully before putting on makeup.
  • Apply it directly to clean, dry skin for the best oil-controlling finish. Ensure your face is completely dry so the product sets properly.
  • Avoid the immediate eye area during application. Do a patch test before your first use to check for any sensitivity.

People Say

★4.4Overall rating based on 200+ reviews

This mineral sunscreen is well-loved by those with sensitive and oily-combination skin for its gentle, non-irritating formula and elegant satin finish that avoids greasiness. While often noted for minimal white cast among mineral SPFs, users with medium to deep skin tones frequently observe a noticeable white cast or "tone-up" effect that requires significant blending.
