Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate exfoliation and pore decongestion for your normal skin, with protease and charcoal working to gently cleanse and refine texture.
  • Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin provide essential hydration, though specialized ingredients to target your concerns of wrinkles and fine lines are absent.
  • The formula is safe for your normal skin, featuring soothing allantoin and sodium hyaluronate with no harsh or prohibited ingredients.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your PM routine once a week, increasing to 2-3 times if your skin tolerates it well.
  • Place this enzyme powder cleanser in your weekly routine after your regular cleanser and before your hydrating toner.
  • Mix a small amount of the enzyme powder cleanser with water in your hands to create a soft foam before applying.
  • Gently massage the foam onto your damp face using circular motions, then rinse thoroughly with warm water.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area and always apply SPF the morning after using exfoliating products.

Questions and answers

How well does FANCL Deep Clear Washing Powder work for mature skin?

FANCL Deep Clear Washing Powder works moderately well for mature skin by providing gentle exfoliation and hydration with protease and sodium hyaluronate, though it lacks specialized ingredients for wrinkles and fine lines. To truly thrive, mature skin needs cleansers with effective anti-aging ingredients that smooth fine lines while deeply hydrating and protecting without irritation.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Dermatologic Therapy, 2022

Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for mature skin?

Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin make this cleanser a decent fit by providing essential hydration, though mature skin also needs specialized ingredients that target fine lines and wrinkles. Encodings of active hydrators like hyaluronic acid help keep skin smooth and well-moisturized.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Dermatologic Therapy, 2022

What does Activated Charcoal do for mature skin?

Activated charcoal is unlikely to provide any anti-aging benefits for mature skin because current studies lack clinical evidence to support these claims. A product for mature skin needs nourishing ingredients and antioxidants that help smooth fine lines and keep skin soft.

Clinics in Dermatology, 2020

What does Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate do for mature skin?

Potassium cocoyl glycinate helps cleanse mature skin gently while maintaining the skin barrier without causing dryness or irritation. This type of cleanser benefits mature skin when it includes mild surfactants combined with moisturizing agents that improve hydration.

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

This cleanser fits into your morning routine and evening routine as your main cleansing step, and can also be used as a weekly exfoliating step for your mature skin. While it safely cleans and hydrates with soothing ingredients, mature skin needs targeted treatments with active ingredients to properly address wrinkles and fine lines.

Can I use this cleanser with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this cleanser in your routine alongside a retinol treatment, applying it first to cleanse the skin before using your retinol product. Because this powder provides moderate exfoliation, it is best used as a weekly step rather than daily to help keep your skin calm and comfortable.

How often should I use this cleanser?

Start by using this enzyme powder once a week as part of your routine. If your skin tolerates it well and you see good results, you may carefully use it more often.

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

This cleanser is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for mature skin, as it gently clears out pores without using harsh or heavy ingredients. However, a product for this skin type also needs targeted ingredients that help smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Behenyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
