Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate makeup removal for your combination skin, as ethylhexyl palmitate and caprylic capric triglyceride effectively dissolve impurities while jojoba seed oil and soybean ferment extract support barrier repair.
- The formula provides general cleansing and hydration benefits, which are relevant for combination skin.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing agents like Lactobacillus Pear Juice Ferment Filtrate.
How to apply
- Use this makeup remover PM as the first step of your evening routine to clear away dirt and oil. Start 3x/week and work up to daily use if your combination skin tolerates it well.
- Apply this makeup remover before cleansing and using the rest of your skin products. This ensures all makeup and impurities are fully washed away.
- Gently press a small amount of the makeup remover onto your face using a soft cotton pad. Avoid rubbing the skin too harshly to prevent irritation.
- Apply the makeup remover on dry skin to easily dissolve makeup and clear out blemishes. There is no need to dampen your face beforehand.
- Do a patch test before first use to ensure your skin reacts well. Avoid the delicate eye area while applying.
People Say

Questions and answers
How well does mixsoon Bean Cleansing Oil work for acne-prone skin?
This cleansing oil works decently for acne-prone skin, dissolving makeup while soybean ferment and jojoba seed oil support your skin barrier. It has a very safe formula with soothing fermented pear juice, though a top-rated product for this skin type needs lighter, non-pore-clogging plant oils and soothing blemish-fighting extracts to keep breakouts fully under control.
Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for acne-prone skin?
This cleanser works reasonably well because jojoba seed oil and soybean ferment extract help support your skin barrier while dissolving impurities. To better fit acne-prone skin, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients and lightweight plant oils that calm blemishes and cleanse without causing breakouts.
What does Glycine Soja Oil do for acne-prone skin?
Glycine Soja Oil helps deliver active ingredients deeper into the skin and is unlikely to cause adverse reactions on human skin. However, since this is a poorer fit for acne-prone skin, products for your skin need lighter hydrators and ingredients that help soothe breakouts and control excess oil.
Pharmaceutical Research, 2008International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2011
What does Jojoba Seed Oil do for acne-prone skin?
Jojoba seed oil helps calm acne-prone skin and reduces breakouts over time. It may also help lower inflammation and clear up lesions.
Forschende Komplementarmedizin, 2012Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2024
Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?
This makeup remover goes in the evening routine before your cleanser, and also as the first step of your weekly routine. Acne-prone skin needs a gentle cleanser that removes impurities without heavy oils or pore-clogging ingredients that can trigger breakouts.
Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this makeup remover with retinol in your evening routine by applying it as your first step to dissolve impurities before following with your cleanser and treatment. Using a barrier-supporting product of this type helps keep your skin calm and hydrated while you use retinol, though acne-prone skin needs a lighter formula that balances oil without heaviness.
How often should I use it?
You can use this makeup remover in the evening as the first step of your PM and weekly routines for acne-prone skin. It is unlikely to cause irritation thanks to its soothing ingredients, but acne-prone skin needs lightweight, non-greasy cleansing oils and clarifying plant extracts that help clear pores and prevent breakouts.
Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?
This cleansing oil has an average fit for acne-prone skin, meaning it works though other products fit your skin better, and a few reviewers have reported breakouts. It is unlikely to cause severe irritation because it lacks harsh ingredients, but acne-prone skin typically needs lightweight, non-clogging oils and soothing ingredients that clear impurities without heavy residues.
Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
What the research says
Clay jojoba oil facial masks reduced total skin lesions by a mean of 54% after 6 weeks in 133 participants with acne-prone, lesioned skin and mild acne compared to baseline.
Forschende Komplementarmedizin, 2012Topical application of jojoba wax reduced LPS-induced secretion of IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα by approximately 30% and increased the synthesis of pro-collagen III and hyaluronic acid compared to untreated skin in an ex-vivo human skin organ culture model.
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2024Topical jojoba oil application in male mice decreased exercise-induced pro-inflammatory gene expression (Il-1b and Il-6 in soleus, Il-1b in gastrocnemius) compared to untreated exercised mice.
Biomolecules, 2025Topical application of an emollient emulsion containing 15.0% caprylic/capric triglyceride doubled the amount of urocanic acid isomers and increased skin hydration with reduced transepidermal water loss in healthy subjects, though it did not prevent ultraviolet-induced urocanic acid isomerization.
Life, 2023A 5% Pyrus communis fruit extract loaded emulgel applied to healthy human volunteers decreased skin melanin, erythema, and sebum levels while increasing skin elasticity and moisture content compared to a placebo.
Pakistan Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2019Pyrus communis and Cydonia oblonga fruit extract loaded emulgels significantly enhanced facial skin elasticity and retraction ability compared to base in 26 female subjects over 90 days, with Cydonia oblonga showing more pronounced results.

Why other pre-cleansers fit acne-prone skin better
Co-delivery of paeonol and madecassoside via nanoemulsions improved transdermal delivery, promoted barrier repair proteins, inhibited inflammatory cytokine secretion in cellular and 3D models, and reduced transepidermal water loss and acne in human facial skin compared to free components.
