Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your normal skin due to the emollient action of Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil and Olea Europaea Fruit Oil, though it lacks specialized ingredients to fully address your wrinkles and fine lines.
- The formulation excels at makeup removal with Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Peg-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, providing effective cleansing without compromising your skin's balance.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your normal skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing Resveratrol.
How to apply
- Use this makeup remover as part of your PM routine every evening. Start 3x/week and move to daily use as your skin feels comfortable.
- Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser and toner. It acts as the very first step to melt away makeup.
- Gently massage a small amount of the makeup remover over dry skin to dissolve makeup, then rinse with warm water. Avoid any harsh rubbing around your eyes.
- Apply this makeup remover directly onto dry skin to effectively break down stubborn makeup and impurities. There is no need to dampen your face beforehand.
- Do a patch test before your first use to ensure your skin reacts well. Avoid direct contact with your eyes while cleansing.
