Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your normal skin as Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil and Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil provide smoothing intercellular lipids, though it lacks sufficient humectants for optimal hydration.
  • The cleansing agents like polysorbate 20 effectively remove impurities, but the formula does not contain specialized ingredients to target your main goal of addressing wrinkles and fine lines.
  • 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

  • Use your micellar water as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using it daily as your skin easily tolerates it.
  • Apply this micellar water after your pre-cleanser and before your main cleanser.
  • Gently press a soaked cotton pad onto your skin, avoiding any harsh rubbing.
  • Apply the micellar water on completely dry skin to effectively remove makeup and dirt.
  • Be sure to avoid the sensitive eye area and do a patch test before your first use.

Questions and answers

How well does Drunk Elephant E-Rase Milki work for mature skin?

Drunk Elephant E-Rase Milki Micellar Water is an average fit for mature skin because, while smoothing seed oils help keep skin soft and comfortable without irritation, it lacks the specialized ingredients and deep moisture needed to properly smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2015

Which ingredients make this micellar water a good fit for mature skin?

Sclerocarya Birrea Seed Oil and Adansonia Digitata Seed Oil make this micellar water a good fit for mature skin by providing smoothing intercellular lipids. A product of this type needs specialized ingredients to target wrinkles and fine lines, along with extra hydrating ingredients to keep mature skin looking its best.

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2015

What does Ceramide do for mature skin?

Ceramides help keep mature skin hydrated and smooth by locking in moisture and repairing the skin barrier. Using them daily improves skin texture, reduces dryness, and helps protect against moisture loss.

International Journal of Immunopathology and Pharmacology, 2008Dermatologic Therapy, 2019

What does Cucumis Melo Seed Oil do for mature skin?

Cucumis Melo Seed Oil helps keep mature skin soft and smooth while protecting it from everyday dryness. It provides nourishing moisture that supports a healthy, glowing look as skin ages. This oil is unlikely to clog pores, making it gentle for daily use.

Where does this micellar water go in a skincare routine for mature skin?

This micellar water goes in the evening routine as a makeup remover, or anytime you need to take off makeup before cleansing. It safely removes impurities without irritation, though mature skin also needs extra hydrating ingredients and targeted treatments for fine lines.

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2015

Can I use this micellar water with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this micellar water before retinol, as it gently removes makeup and impurities without irritating dry skin. Because it lacks specialized ingredients to smooth fine lines and plump dry skin, mature skin needs added hydrators like glycerin and anti-aging ingredients like retinoids or peptides.

How often should I use this micellar water?

You can use this micellar water daily as part of your makeup removal routine, as it is very gentle and unlikely to irritate the skin. However, since it lacks enough hydrating ingredients and wrinkle-smoothing actives for mature skin, this skin type needs extra moisture and targeted anti-aging treatments to truly thrive.

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2015

Can this micellar water clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?

This micellar water is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for mature skin since it has an excellent safety profile without harsh ingredients. However, it lacks sufficient humectants for optimal hydration and does not target wrinkles, so a mature skin routine needs nourishing ceramides and deeply hydrating ingredients.

Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2015

Is this micellar water fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.

Why other products fit mature skin better

  • A Hamamelis virginiana leaf extract increased LOXL1 expression twofold, decreased elafin synthesis, restored functional elastic fibers, reduced nonfunctional elastin aggregates, decreased wrinkles, and improved skin firmness.

    Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2018
  • Transgenic cucumber expressing poly-γ-glutamic acid synthesis genes increased water content by 6-14%, reduced water loss by 11-12%, decreased facial wrinkles and roughness by 19.58% and 24.97%, decreased skin melanin by 5.27%, and improved facial elasticity in human skin and zebrafish compared to controls.

    International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2024
  • Topical hyaluronic acid filler serum combined with Botulinum toxin type A lengthened the duration of the toxin's effect in reducing wrinkles compared to Botulinum toxin type A alone.
