Lovi Assistant explains

  • Suitable for normal skin as sodium hyaluronate and panthenol provide humectant action and barrier repair, though the product's primary benefits are not targeted towards your main goal of pigmentation.
  • It offers moderate moisturizing due to sodium hyaluronate and water-soluble collagen, which hydrate and plump the skin, providing general skincare benefits.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your normal skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM and PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply this moisturizer after your cleanser and toner, right before your morning SPF.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing it too hard so it absorbs nicely.
  • For the best moisture, you can apply it when your skin is slightly damp. This helps your skin stay soft and happy.
  • Remember to avoid the eye area when applying. Always do a patch test before your first use.
