Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your dry skin is provided by Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil and Shea Ethyl Esters, which offer emollient and occlusive actions to deeply moisturize and protect your skin barrier. Jojoba Seed Oil and Argan Kernel Oil further enhance nourishment, addressing your dry or flaky skin concerns effectively.
  • The cleansing functionality is excellent due to Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil and Shea Ethyl Esters, which effectively cleanse pores without stripping your skin.
  • This formula is safe for your dry skin, as it contains soothing ingredients like Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract and Arnica Montana Extract, and lacks harsh or irritating components.

How to apply

  • Use this cleanser AM and PM every day to keep your skin clean. Start using it daily right away since your skin is not sensitive.
  • Apply this cleanser as the very first step in your morning routine and right after your pre-cleanser in the evening. Follow with your toner and moisturizer afterwards.
  • Gently massage a small amount of cleanser onto your face using soft circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.
  • Apply this cleanser on slightly damp skin for a comfortable and refreshing wash. This helps maintain your skin's natural moisture while cleansing away dirt.
  • Avoid getting the cleanser directly into your eyes to prevent any irritation. Do a simple patch test before your first use to ensure your skin likes it.

People Say

★4.9Overall rating based on 1.6k+ reviews

This luxurious oil cleanser is widely praised by users with dry and mature skin for its ability to effortlessly melt away waterproof makeup and sunscreen without stripping the moisture barrier. While the majority report soft, glowing, and hydrated outcomes, a small subset of users with reactive skin experienced breakouts or irritation attributed to the high concentration of essential oils. Based on a very large amount of data, this product is highly rated and generally well-received, though some users with sensitive skin should exercise caution.
