Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate exfoliation for wrinkles and fine lines, as gluconolactone and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid gently resurface and hydrate your normal skin. Yeast extract ferment further supports this by providing humectant action, balancing the mild exfoliation.
- The formulation is highly suitable for normal skin, with gluconolactone and yeast extract ferment working synergistically to refine texture and maintain hydration.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your normal skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use this exfoliating toner as part of your PM routine once a week to start , then increase frequency carefully if your skin feels comfortable.
- Apply this product after cleansing and before your moisturizer to ensure it works effectively.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the exfoliating toner into your skin and let it absorb fully ⏳.
- Apply the exfoliating toner on clean, dry skin for the best results since your skin is normal and not sensitive.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and always use SPF daily while using exfoliating active ingredients.
