Lovi Assistant explains
- Excellent for your normal skin, this cleanser effectively removes impurities with Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate and Zea Mays Starch, while Glycerin and Sorbitol provide essential hydration. Although it offers great cleansing, it does not specifically target your primary concern of wrinkles and fine lines.
- The formula is well-suited for normal skin due to humectants like Glycerin and Sorbitol, and the soothing properties of Allantoin.
- This product is safe for your skin, containing no harsh ingredients and including soothing agents like Allantoin and Tocopherol Vitamin E.
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.

What does Mannitol do for mature skin?
Mannitol helps improve skin hydration, elasticity, and smoothness when used with hyaluronic acid. This combination helps keep mature skin soft and may reduce rough texture.
What does Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate do for mature skin?
Sodium lauroyl glutamate is very gentle on mature skin and helps keep it calm while cleansing without stripping away natural oils. This ingredient has a safe profile that minimizes irritation, making it well tolerated even by sensitive skin types.
Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This enzyme powder cleanser fits into a weekly routine for mature skin, used once a week as an exfoliating step after your makeup remover and cleanser. Lovi routines start exfoliating steps once a week, and people who tolerate them well and see good results can carefully use them more often.
Can I use this cleanser with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cleanser in your routine with retinol, applying the cleanser first to clean skin and following with your retinol treatment. It is unlikely to cause irritation when used this way, as the formula contains soothing ingredients like allantoin and vitamin E.
How often should I use this cleanser?

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

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.
