Lovi Assistant explains

  • This cleanser offers moderate benefits for your combination skin, with ingredients like Glycerin and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid providing essential hydration without exacerbating oily areas. While effective for general skincare, it does not specifically target your concern of oily shine.
  • The formula is well-suited for your combination skin type due to its gentle cleansing agents, coco-glucoside and tea-cocoyl glutamate, which effectively remove impurities.
  • The product is safe for your skin, as it contains soothing ingredients like Camellia Japonica Flower Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract and lacks harsh or prohibited substances.

How to apply

  • Use this cleanser AM and PM as part of your daily routine. Start 3×/week and build up to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply this cleanser as the very first step in your morning routine and right after your pre-cleanser in the evening.
  • Gently massage a small amount of cleanser onto your skin using circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  • For the best results , apply the cleanser directly onto slightly damp skin to help lift away excess oil.
  • Avoid the immediate eye area and do a patch test before your first use to check for any sensitivity.
