Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Suitable for normal skin due to the presence of Hyaluronic Acid and Ceramide NP for humectant and barrier repair actions, respectively, this product offers moderate plumping and firming for the eye area with collagen and acetyl hexapeptide-8.
- While it provides general hydration and soothing benefits, it lacks targeted ingredients like Vitamin C or Alpha Arbutin to address your main goal of pigmentation.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your normal skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
