Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Suitable for normal skin due to the presence of sodium hyaluronate and glycerin for humectant action and ceramide for barrier repair, this product offers moderate pore tightening and lifting benefits from Volufiline and PHA. While it provides general hydration and soothing effects, these ingredients are not specialized enough to address your main goal of pigmentation, posing risks of not providing sufficient value for your specific concerns.
  • The formulation is safe for your normal skin, as it lacks prohibited or harsh ingredients that could cause irritation.

How to apply

  • Apply this serum as part of your PM routine starting 3x/week and build up to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Place the serum after cleansing and toning, but before your moisturizer.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and wait a minute for it to absorb.
  • Apply the serum on dry skin to help fade pigmentation effectively.
  • Avoid the eye area and always use SPF 30+ during the day.

Questions and answers

How well does SUNGBOON EDITOR Green Tomato Pore Lifting Ampoule+ work for skin with dark spots?

This product works moderately for skin with dark spots, providing general hydration and soothing while lacking specialized ingredients to fully target pigmentation. Treatments that fit this skin better need targeted brightening ingredients and strong antioxidants to effectively fade dark spots while keeping the skin smooth and balanced.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for skin with dark spots?

This serum provides general hydration and soothing effects for normal skin, but it lacks specialized ingredients to effectively target dark spots. A product for this skin needs targeted brightening ingredients and specialized pigmentation correctors.

What does Green Tomato do for skin with dark spots?

Green tomato extract helps fade dark spots and uneven skin tone when you apply it twice a day. Studies show that ingredients rich in lycopene can significantly reduce skin discoloration and improve overall brightness.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021

What does Volufiline do for skin with dark spots?

Volufiline is not designed to fade dark spots or brighten skin tone. This type of ingredient focuses on soft tissue fullness rather than evening out skin color. To address dark spots effectively, your routine needs ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide that target excess pigment.

Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for skin with dark spots?

This serum goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before your moisturizer, as treatments fit best at night for simplicity and safety around sun exposure. The formulation is safe for your skin, but because your main goal is dark spots, this product may not offer enough specialized value and needs targeted brightening ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide.

Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this treatment alongside retinol, applying it after your cleansing and toning steps and before your moisturizer. The gentle formulation is unlikely to irritate your skin, though it is not specialized enough to properly target dark spots.

How often should I use this serum?

You can use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine for skin with dark spots, though it lacks specialized ingredients to directly target pigmentation. To effectively address dark spots, this skin needs targeted brightening ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide, or alpha arbutin.

Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for skin with dark spots?

This serum is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores on skin with dark spots because its formulation is safe and lacks harsh ingredients that typically trigger irritation. While it provides general hydration, it may not be specialized enough to address dark spots, meaning this skin type generally needs targeted brightening ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide.

Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
