Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your normal skin as Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil and Glycerin provide emollient and humectant actions, respectively, while Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract and Hibiscus Esculentus Fruit Extract offer moderate hydration and antioxidant support for your wrinkles and fine lines.
- The cleansing action is excellent due to Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil and Dioscorea Japonica Root Extract effectively dissolving impurities and makeup.
- The product is safe for your normal skin with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use your cleanser as part of both your AM and PM routine. Start using it daily since your skin is normal and not sensitive.
- Apply this first in your routine before using your toner, moisturizer, and SPF.
- Gently massage the cleanser onto your face using circular motions, then rinse well with water. Avoid rubbing your skin too hard.
- Apply the cleanser directly onto slightly damp skin for the best fresh feeling. Make sure your face is clean of heavy makeup first.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area while washing. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to be safe.

Questions and answers
What makes Isntree Yam Root Vegan Milk Cleanser a great fit for mature skin?
This cleanser is a great fit for mature skin because sunflower seed oil and glycerin help soften and hydrate the skin, while yam root extract and hibiscus fruit extract provide antioxidant support for fine lines. It effectively dissolves impurities and makeup without harsh ingredients, making it safe and gentle for your daily routine.
Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for mature skin?
Yam root extract and hibiscus fruit extract help keep mature skin soft by providing moderate hydration and antioxidant support for wrinkles and fine lines. Sunflower seed oil and glycerin further help by smoothing and keeping the skin soft while gently clearing away impurities.
What does Yam Root Extract do for mature skin?
Yam root extract is unlikely to provide proven anti-aging benefits for mature skin because studies show a lack of sufficient safety and efficacy data for phytoestrogens. A product for this skin needs nourishing ingredients and proven hydrators to help keep mature skin soft and smooth.
What does Sunflower Seed Oil do for mature skin?
Sunflower seed oil helps keep mature skin soft and smooth by locking in moisture and supporting the outer skin barrier. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may improve hydration in dry skin.
Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This cleanser is used in the morning and evening, followed by a hydrating toner and moisturizer in the morning or a makeup remover, toner, treatment, and moisturizer in the evening. It gently washes away makeup and impurities while providing mild hydration and antioxidant support.
Can I use this cleanser with retinol, and in what order?
Yes, you can use this cleanser in your routine when using retinol, applying it before your retinol treatment. It helps clean your skin and leaves it soft while being safe and unlikely to cause irritation.
How often should I use this cleanser?
You can use this cleanser twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine. Using a gentle daily cleanser helps keep your skin clean while supporting hydration and comfort.
Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
This cleanser is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for mature skin as it is formulated with safe ingredients that gently cleanse without irritation, though reviewers note a low chance of pore clogging. It helps maintain skin integrity while keeping your face clean and comfortable.
Can I use this cleanser around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this cleanser on your body and around your eyes because its gentle ingredients and sunflower seed oil safely clean and hydrate thin areas without irritation. It is especially helpful for the thin skin on the eyelids and body which easily loses moisture.

Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Arachidyl alcohol, cetearyl alcohol, and behenyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
