The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Spain.

Brand: [Clean & Clear](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/brands/clean-and-clear)
Category: [Cleansers](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/best/cleansers)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with sensitive skin: redness, stinging, and reactions to new products. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A poor match for sensitive skin; the cleansers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate cleansing for your normal skin, as glycerin provides hydration and pore cleansing, but the inclusion of menthol may cause irritation for your sensitive skin and redness.
- While the formula is generally safe for sensitive skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients, the menthol can be a concern for your specific skin issues.

## What the research says

- Topical 30% l-menthol decreased cold pain thresholds and enhanced pain responses to suprathreshold noxious cold stimuli without affecting other stimuli in 39 healthy subjects compared to ethanol control. ([Pain, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16527405/))
- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Topical high-concentration L-menthol consistently induces cold pain threshold elevation and increased supra-threshold cold pain sensitivity in healthy volunteers, and successfully establishes cold allodynia or hyperalgesia in animals, serving as a predictable surrogate model. ([European Journal of Pain, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23963768/))
- A soap-free cleansing lotion containing cetyl alcohol and sodium cocoyl apple amino acids reduced skin surface impurities and improved skin hydration, barrier function, and skin tone in 27 healthy adult subjects over 30 days. ([Cureus, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40978887/))

## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, this cleanser is highly regarded for its creamy texture and refreshing, cooling sensation that leaves skin feeling thoroughly cleansed and soft without excessive stripping. It is particularly effective for those managing acne-prone or combination skin, though individuals with very sensitive skin may find the menthol-induced tingle or fragrance unsuitable.

- Liked: Cooling sensation (mostly mentioned)
- Liked: Affordable price (often mentioned)
- Liked: Deep cleansing (often mentioned)
- Liked: Creamy texture (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Potential dryness (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Sensitive skin irritation (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Difficult to rinse (rarely noted)
- Disliked: Unwanted scent (rarely noted)

## 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.

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Clean & Clear deep action cream cleanser for sensitive skin?

This cleanser may not be the best fit for your sensitive skin because it contains menthol, which can cause irritation and redness. While glycerin helps keep your skin hydrated, this type of skin needs a cleanser with soothing and hydrating ingredients like Niacinamide and Ceramide-3 that calm redness without any risk of irritation.
Sources: [Pain, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16527405/)

### Which ingredients make this cleanser a poor fit for sensitive skin?

This cleanser is a poor fit for your sensitive skin because it contains menthol, which may cause irritation and redness. While glycerin provides hydration, a cleanser for this skin needs soothing and hydrating ingredients like niacinamide and ceramide-3 to clean gently without causing irritation or redness.
Sources: [Pain, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16527405/), [European Journal of Pain, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23963768/)

### What does Water do for sensitive skin?

Using cool water for facial cleansing preserves skin barrier integrity and lowers skin surface pH in healthy adults. This helps keep skin calm and hydrated without causing the irritation associated with warmer water.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42722630/)

### What does Cetyl Alcohol do for sensitive skin?

Cetyl alcohol helps wash away impurities while supporting skin moisture and barrier function. It is generally well tolerated, though very rarely it may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals.
Sources: [Cureus, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40978887/), [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 1988](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19456905/)

### Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This cleanser goes in the morning and evening routine for sensitive skin, but because it contains menthol it may cause irritation and redness. Sensitive skin needs a cleanser that offers moderate cleansing with hydrating ingredients like glycerin while avoiding cooling or irritating additives.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/)

### Can I use this cleanser with salicylic acid, and in what order?

Using this cleanser with salicylic acid is likely to cause irritation and redness for your sensitive skin because it contains menthol. To use products safely on this type of skin, look for gentle formulas with soothing ingredients and barrier-repairing ceramides instead.
Sources: [Pain, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16527405/)

### How often should I use this cleanser?

This cleanser is a poor match for your sensitive skin because the menthol may cause irritation and redness. If you choose to use it, a cleanser for this skin needs to offer gentle cleansing and soothing ingredients without any menthol.
Sources: [Pain, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16527405/)

### Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?

This cleanser is unlikely to clog pores, but the menthol it contains may cause irritation and redness for sensitive skin. To care for sensitive skin, a cleanser of this type needs calming ingredients like Centella asiatica and gentle hydration without cooling additives.
Sources: [Pain, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16527405/)

### Can I use this cleanser around the eyes or on my body?

You should use caution around the eyes because the skin there is very thin and sensitive to ingredients like menthol, which may cause irritation and redness. For this skin, a cleanser needs gentle, hydrating ingredients like glycerin and must be free of cooling agents or fragrances to prevent discomfort.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/), [Pain, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16527405/)

### Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
