Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your normal skin, this cleanser effectively removes impurities with myristic and lauric acids, while glycerin and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid provide essential hydration to support your skin's moisture balance.
  • The inclusion of panthenol and blueberry fruit extract offers additional soothing benefits, contributing to overall skin comfort and health.
  • This formula is safe for your skin, as it contains no harsh ingredients and is formulated with soothing components.

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.

People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 1.2k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, users describe this as a luxurious, thick foaming cleanser that effectively removes makeup and impurities. While formulated to retain moisture, hydration results are mixed; oily and combination skin types find it balancing and softening, but some dry or sensitive skin types report a stripping or tight feeling. The cleanser produces a rich lather and offers deep cleansing power, with many users noting its long-lasting value due to the small amount needed per use. Some users find it leaves skin feeling softer and smoother. A moderate number of users find the fragrance strong, and a similar proportion report a drying or stripping sensation, particularly those with dry or sensitive skin. A low number of reviews mention eye irritation or packaging issues.
