Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate cleansing and hydration for your normal skin, with Rice Bran Oil and Castor Seed Oil effectively dissolving makeup and impurities.
- While nourishing oils like Argania Spinosa Kernel Oil and Jojoba Seed Oil support your skin's barrier, the formula lacks specialized ingredients to target wrinkles and fine lines.
- The product is safe for your normal skin, as it contains soothing Rice Bran Oil and avoids harsh or irritating ingredients.
How to apply
- Use this makeup remover as part of your PM routine every evening. Start 3x/week and move to daily use as your skin feels comfortable.
- Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser and toner. It acts as the very first step to melt away makeup.
- Gently massage a small amount of the makeup remover over dry skin to dissolve makeup, then rinse with warm water. Avoid any harsh rubbing around your eyes.
- Apply this makeup remover directly onto dry skin to effectively break down stubborn makeup and impurities. There is no need to dampen your face beforehand.
- Do a patch test before your first use to ensure your skin reacts well. Avoid direct contact with your eyes while cleansing.

Questions and answers
How well does Bonajour Rice Bran 90 Mild Cleansing Oil work for mature skin?
This cleansing oil works moderately well for mature skin by gently removing makeup and providing basic nourishment through ingredients like rice bran oil and argan oil. However, because it lacks specialized ingredients to target wrinkles and fine lines, a product for this skin type needs extra firming and smoothing ingredients alongside nourishing oils.
Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for mature skin?
Rice bran oil and castor seed oil help dissolve makeup while soothing your skin, and nourishing oils like argan and jojoba support your skin barrier. To be a better fit for mature skin, a product of this type also needs specialized ingredients that target wrinkles and fine lines.
What does Rice Bran Oil do for mature skin?
Rice bran oil helps mature skin by providing deep moisture and protective antioxidants that improve skin smoothness and elasticity over time. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may help reduce signs of aging while keeping the skin soft and calm.
Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022
What does Argan Oil do for mature skin?
Argan oil helps keep mature skin soft and smooth by improving skin hydration and maintaining water-holding capacity. Daily use also helps boost skin elasticity to give an anti-aging effect.
Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This makeup remover goes in the evening routine before your regular cleanser. While it safely cleanses and nourishes, this skin type needs products with specialized firming and smoothing ingredients to target wrinkles and fine lines.
Can I use this cleanser with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this makeup remover in your evening routine before your cleanser, but it is unlikely to target wrinkles and fine lines. Mature skin needs products with specialized ingredients like retinoids or peptides to smooth fine lines and boost firmness.
How often should I use this cleanser?
You can use this makeup remover in the evening whenever you wear makeup or need to clear away daily impurities. It is safe for your skin and helps keep it comfortable, though mature skin also needs specialized ingredients that target wrinkles and fine lines.
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 since it uses soothing oils that gently remove makeup while avoiding harsh ingredients. However, because it lacks specialized wrinkle-fighting ingredients, mature skin often needs products packed with firming peptides and antioxidants to truly stay smooth and youthful.
Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
