Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your dry skin as Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil and Olea Europaea Fruit Oil provide emollient action to smooth intercellular lipids and support your skin barrier. While it offers excellent makeup removal with Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Peg-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate, it lacks specialized hydrating ingredients like ceramides or hyaluronic acid to address your dry or flaky skin concerns.
- The formula is safe for your dry and sensitive skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients, ensuring no risks of irritation.
- This product is safe for your skin.
How to apply
- Use your makeup remover PM as the first step of your evening routine. Start 3×/week daily use if your dry skin tolerates it well.
- Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. It prepares your face for a thorough double-cleansing routine.
- Gently press a small amount onto your skin using a soft cotton pad. Avoid rubbing to protect your sensitive and flaky skin.
- Apply the makeup remover on completely dry skin to ensure better tolerance and comfort. This prevents any extra irritation for reactive skin types.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a patch test before your very first use to prevent irritation.
