Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate brightening and smoothing for your normal skin due to the presence of ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which provide antioxidant activity and support collagen synthesis.
- Centella Asiatica Extract and Sodium Hyaluronate offer supportive hydration and soothing effects beneficial for your redness and irritation.
- The product is safe for your sensitive skin as it lacks harsh ingredients and has no risk of irritation.
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 .
