Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing for your normal skin due to glycerin and sea water, which hydrate and replenish, but lacks specialized ingredients to target your redness and irritation.
  • The inclusion of Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Allantoin provides soothing benefits, which are supportive for your sensitive skin.
  • The product is safe for your sensitive skin as it contains no harsh ingredients and includes soothing components.

How to apply

  • Use this soothing AM and PM routine every day to keep your normal skin calm. Always remember to apply SPF in the morning after your moisturizer.
  • Apply your moisturizer after your toner in the morning, and after your serum in the evening. This step locks in hydration and protects your skin.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer evenly across your face. Avoid rubbing to keep your sensitive skin happy and calm.
  • You can apply this gentle formula on dry or slightly damp skin for the best comfort. It works wonderfully on clean skin to soothe redness and irritation.
  • Do a patch test before your very first use to check your skin's reaction. Avoid getting the product directly into your eyes .

People Say

★4.8Overall rating based on 900+ reviews

Users with dry, dehydrated, and sensitive skin frequently praise these pads for their intense hydration and immediate cooling effect, often describing them as a "mini sheet mask" that leaves skin plump and de-puffed. While the thin, gel-like material adheres exceptionally well to facial contours for makeup prep, some users find the pads difficult to separate and note they can dry out quickly if left on too long.
