Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your normal skin, as soybean oil and sunflower seed oil provide emollient action for cleansing, but it lacks stronger humectants for optimal hydration.
- The presence of Glycine Soja Oil Soybean Oil and Panax Ginseng Seed Oil aids in cleansing pores and decongesting impurities, providing general cleansing and hydration benefits.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your normal skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use this makeup remover as part of your PM routine every evening. Start 3x/week and move to daily use as your skin feels comfortable.
- Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser and toner. It acts as the very first step to melt away makeup.
- Gently massage a small amount of the makeup remover over dry skin to dissolve makeup, then rinse with warm water. Avoid any harsh rubbing around your eyes.
- Apply this makeup remover directly onto dry skin to effectively break down stubborn makeup and impurities. There is no need to dampen your face beforehand.
- Do a patch test before your first use to ensure your skin reacts well. Avoid direct contact with your eyes while cleansing.
