Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your combination skin due to the humectant action of Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, and Panthenol, which also enhance barrier resilience, complemented by the anti-inflammatory properties of Centella Asiatica Extract and Madecassoside for your acne and blemishes.
  • The formula offers moderate benefits for your acne and blemishes through Centella Asiatica Extract and Madecassoside, which provide soothing and anti-inflammatory effects.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your acne-prone skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, and Centella Asiatica Extract.

How to apply

  • Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help keep breakouts under control.
  • Apply after your cleanser and toner, and make sure to use your SPF right after in the morning.
  • Gently spread a small amount of moisturizer over your face using soft motions. Let it absorb into the skin for a minute before getting dressed or applying makeup.
  • Apply on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. This keeps your combination skin balanced without feeling heavy.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use. Stop using if you feel any irritation.
