Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate brightening and evening of skin tone for your normal skin due to the presence of 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Terminalia Ferdinandiana Fruit Extract, which provide antioxidant benefits and improve skin tone. Glycerin and Propanediol offer general hydration, supporting your skin's overall health but not specifically targeting your pigmentation concerns.
- The formula is safe for your normal skin, as it lacks harsh or prohibited ingredients that could cause irritation.
- This serum provides good antioxidant activity and humectant action, making it a suitable choice for your skin type.
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.
