Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate exfoliation for your wrinkles and fine lines due to the presence of lactic acid and glycolic acid, which provide mild resurfacing benefits for your normal skin, but lacks sufficient humectant ingredients for optimal hydration.
  • Sodium cocoamphoacetate and coco-betaine offer moderate cleansing to remove impurities without causing irritation to your normal skin.

How to apply

  • Use your cleanser as part of both your AM and PM routine. Start using it daily since your skin is normal and not sensitive.
  • Apply this first in your routine before using your toner, moisturizer, and SPF.
  • Gently massage the cleanser onto your face using circular motions, then rinse well with water. Avoid rubbing your skin too hard.
  • Apply the cleanser directly onto slightly damp skin for the best fresh feeling. Make sure your face is clean of heavy makeup first.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area while washing. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to be safe.

Questions and answers

Why does Lovi advise caution with Eucerin Cleansing Gel for mature skin?
