Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate pore tightening and smoothing texture for your normal skin due to PHA Polyhydroxy Acid and Volufiline, while Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin provide hydration and Ceramide supports barrier repair.
- Allantoin and Panthenol offer supportive benefits for your redness and irritation, contributing to general skincare.
- The product is safe for your sensitive skin as it lacks prohibited or harsh ingredients.
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 .

Questions and answers
How well does SUNGBOON EDITOR Green Tomato Pore Lifting Ampoule+ work for sensitive skin?
This product works fine for sensitive skin, though other treatments fit it better. It helps calm redness and keeps skin hydrated with ingredients like panthenol, sodium hyaluronate, and glycerin, but a product of this type needs extra soothing and hydrating ingredients that specifically target sensitive skin without any risk of irritation.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for sensitive skin?
Sodium Hyaluronate, Ceramide, Allantoin, and Panthenol make this serum a good fit for sensitive skin by providing gentle hydration and calming redness and irritation. To fit sensitive skin even better, a treatment of this type needs extra soothing and hydrating ingredients that protect the skin barrier without any harsh additives.
What does Green Tomato do for sensitive skin?
Green tomato extract is unlikely to irritate sensitive skin and may help calm redness and protect against UV-induced sun damage. This type of product needs gentle, soothing plant extracts and antioxidants to keep sensitive skin calm and comfortable.
Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2013Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, 2024
What does Volufiline do for sensitive skin?
Volufiline is unlikely to cause irritation on sensitive skin, but it is primarily used to help fill out and add volume to areas like the breasts rather than targeting skin sensitivity. To soothe and comfort sensitive skin, a product of this type needs calming ingredients and barrier-supporting lipids.
Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?
This treatment goes in the evening routine after your soothing toner and before your moisturizer. Sensitive skin works best with products that contain gentle hydrators and barrier-repairing ingredients like sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and ceramide.
Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this treatment alongside retinol by applying it after your soothing toner and before your moisturizer in your evening routine. This helps keep your skin calm and hydrated while minimizing irritation, though a product with stronger barrier-supporting ceramides and soothing ingredients would fit sensitive skin even better.
How often should I use this serum?
Apply this treatment in your evening routine, starting at once a week and carefully increasing frequency if your skin tolerates it well. A product of this type for sensitive skin needs soothing ingredients like Allantoin and Panthenol along with barrier-supporting ceramides to keep skin calm and hydrated.
Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?
This serum is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for sensitive skin because it lacks harsh ingredients and includes calming agents like Allantoin and Panthenol. However, a product of this type needs soothing hydrators and barrier-supporting ceramides to keep sensitive skin calm and clear.
Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
