Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your dry skin as glycerin and saccharomyces ferment filtrate provide excellent hydration and enhance barrier resilience. Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid further supports humectant action, though the formula lacks more potent emollient and occlusive ingredients for optimal results.
  • Camellia sinensis leaf extract and beta-glucan offer soothing benefits, ensuring a gentle experience for your dry or flaky skin.
  • The product is safe for your dry skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and work your way up to daily use.
  • Apply your moisturizer after your toner and before your sunscreen in the morning. At night, use it as the final step after your serum.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing to keep your dry skin happy.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra hydration. This is great for soothing dry and flaky areas .
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a patch test before your first use .

People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 300+ reviews

This product is widely celebrated as an ideal moisturizer for combination, oily, and dehydrated skin types due to its unique lightweight, water-like texture that absorbs instantly without clogging pores. While it delivers a noticeable "glass skin" glow and balances oil production, users with very dry skin often find it insufficient as a standalone night cream during colder months.
