Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate cleansing for your oily skin, as sunflower seed oil and grape seed oil help dissolve impurities and makeup without causing irritation. These ingredients provide emollient action, though they do not offer optimal oil control for your specific concerns.
  • While the cleanser provides general hydration and cleansing benefits, it is not specifically targeted to address your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
  • The product is safe for your oily skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients, ensuring no risks of irritation.

How to apply

  • Use this cleanser as part of your AM and PM routine. Start using it daily to help clear your breakouts.
  • Apply this cleanser as the first step in the morning and right after your pre-cleanser in the evening. Follow it with your toner and moisturizer.
  • Gently massage a small amount of the cleanser onto your face using circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.
  • Apply the cleanser on slightly damp skin to help clean deeply and remove excess oil. This works best for oily skin types.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a patch test before your first use.

The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for oily acne-prone skin?

This cleanser goes in your morning and evening routine, before your toner, moisturizer, and sunscreen in the morning, and before your toner and treatment in the evening.

Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily acne-prone skin?

This cleanser is unlikely to irritate your oily acne-prone skin because it lacks harsh ingredients, but it does not specifically target your breakouts or provide optimal oil control. A cleanser for this skin needs lightweight ingredients that help clear blemishes and control excess oil.
