Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your combination skin as Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil and Rosehip Seed Oil provide emollient action, though it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily shine. Jojoba Seed Oil and Glycerin offer moisturizing and emollient effects, contributing to general skincare benefits like hydration and soothing.
- The cleansing action is excellent due to the presence of Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil and Glycerin, which aid in removing impurities while moisturizing your skin.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your combination skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
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.
