Lovi Assistant explains

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 .

People Say

★4.7Overall rating based on 65.0k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, users consistently praise the patch for its ability to visibly flatten whiteheads overnight by absorbing fluid and "gunk" directly from the pore. It is highly effective for surface-level blemishes and preventing skin-picking. However, it is generally noted as ineffective for deep, cystic, or "under-the-skin" acne.

What does Salicylic Acid do for sensitive skin?

Salicylic acid may cause irritation on sensitive skin, so it requires careful use and good sun protection to keep skin comfortable. A product for this skin type needs gentle, soothing ingredients and a mild formula that respects the skin barrier.
