Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate cleansing for your normal skin, as Sesamum Indicum Oil and Caprylic Capric Triglyceride gently lift impurities without causing irritation. Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate provide humectant action, supporting hydration but lacking targeted ingredients for your main goal of pigmentation.
  • The formula includes beneficial ingredients like Shea Butter and Vitamin E, which are supportive for general skincare needs and safety.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

How to apply

  • You can use this cleanser AM and PM every single day. Start slowly 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
  • Apply this cleanser as the first step in your morning routine or the second step in your evening routine. Follow it with toner and moisturizer.
  • Massage a small amount of cleanser gently onto your face using circular motions. Rinse well with lukewarm water and pat dry.
  • For the best results, apply your cleanser directly to wet skin to help wash away dirt. Make sure your face is clean before you begin.
  • Avoid getting the cleanser in your eyes. Always do a quick patch test before using the product for the very first time.
