The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Germany.

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with mature skin: fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for mature skin; other cleansers fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for your normal skin, as Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate provide humectant action to hydrate, but it lacks specialized ingredients to effectively target wrinkles and fine lines.
- The cleansing agents, potassium cocoyl glycinate and sodium coceth sulfate, offer excellent pore cleansing without compromising your normal skin.
- The safety profile is good, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing agents like Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Urea.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Estée Lauder Soft Clean Moisture Rich Foaming Cleanser work for mature skin?

This cleanser works okay for mature skin because ingredients like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate help hydrate, but it lacks specialized ingredients to target wrinkles and fine lines. Cleansers for mature skin need extra nourishing and firming ingredients to truly smooth and care for this skin type.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for mature skin?

Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin help hydrate your mature skin, while soothing ingredients like dipotassium glycyrrhizate keep it calm and comfortable. However, a cleanser for mature skin also needs specialized anti-aging ingredients to properly target wrinkles and fine lines.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Hyaluronic Acid do for mature skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps mature skin by deeply boosting moisture, improving elasticity, and smoothing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Regular use keeps the skin looking plump and soft while supporting overall firmness and hydration.
Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/), [Skin Research and Technology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38591218/)

### What does Glycerin do for mature skin?

Glycerin helps keep mature skin feeling soft and smooth by drawing moisture into the outer layer and locking it in. This daily hydration boost supports the skin barrier, keeping dry areas comfortable and protected against irritation.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for mature skin?

This cleanser goes as the first cleansing step in your morning routine, and as the second cleansing step after a makeup remover in your evening routine. Because this cleanser lacks specialized ingredients to target fine lines and wrinkles, mature skin needs a routine that also includes hydrating ingredients, antioxidants, and targeted anti-aging treatments to keep the skin looking smooth and firm.

### Can I use this cleanser with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this cleanser in your routine, but a cleanser of this type needs added ceramides or peptides to truly support mature skin alongside your retinol.

### How often should I use this cleanser?

You can use this cleanser daily in the morning and evening as part of your regular routine. Mature skin of this type 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 on mature skin, as it cleans pores effectively without harsh ingredients. To properly care for mature skin, a product of this type needs added specialized ingredients to help smooth fine lines and wrinkles while keeping the skin hydrated.

### Can I use this cleanser around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this cleanser on your body, but it is generally best to avoid the thin skin directly around the eyes since facial cleansers may sometimes cause dryness there. Mature skin on the body and face needs cleansers with hydrating ingredients like glycerin and soothing agents like urea to keep the skin comfortable.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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