Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your normal skin, this cleanser effectively addresses redness and irritation with Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice and Bisabolol to calm inflammation and soothe sensitivity.
  • Glycerin and Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil provide essential hydration and support your skin's barrier function, ensuring a gentle yet effective cleanse.
  • The formulation is safe for your sensitive skin, featuring a blend of soothing botanical extracts and avoiding harsh irritants.

How to apply

  • Use your cleanser in the AM and PM routines every day. Start using it daily since your sensitive skin needs gentle care.
  • Apply this first in your morning and evening skincare routine before toner and moisturizer. This clears away dirt without upsetting your skin.
  • Gently massage a small amount onto your face using soft circles. Avoid any rough rubbing to keep redness away.
  • Apply the cleanser on slightly damp skin to help it wash away impurities softly. Clean skin feels fresh and comfortable afterwards.
  • Avoid getting the cleanser in your eyes and do a quick patch test before first use. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

People Say
