Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for normal skin due to the presence of Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil and Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil, which provide emollient action and support the skin barrier.
- While it offers excellent makeup removal by dissolving impurities, it lacks specialized ingredients to target your concerns of wrinkles and fine lines.
- 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 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.

Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This makeup remover goes in the evening routine before your regular cleanser, or as a weekly step before cleansing. It safely melts away makeup without irritation, though a product of this type for mature skin also needs ingredients that 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, well before applying retinol. It is unlikely to irritate mature skin, but since it lacks anti-aging ingredients, you may want to follow it with a retinol treatment and a rich moisturizer to target fine lines.

Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
This cleansing oil has a low likelihood of causing breakouts for mature skin, as it contains gentle plant oils like sunflower seed and sweet almond oil that keep skin soft without clogging pores. There is no risk of purging since it does not contain active ingredients that speed up cell turnover.

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum).
