Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers excellent makeup removal for your normal skin due to nourishing oils like sunflower seed oil and soybean oil that effectively dissolve makeup without stripping the skin.
  • While the product provides general hydration and emollient benefits from shea butter and sunflower seed oil, these are not targeted for your specific concerns of redness and irritation.
  • The formula is safe for your sensitive skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and prohibited substances, minimizing the risk of irritation.

How to apply

  • Use this makeup remover PM as the first step of your evening routine. Start 3x/week before building up to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser and toner. Follow with your usual moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
  • Gently press a small amount of the makeup remover onto your face using a soft cotton pad. Avoid any harsh rubbing to protect your sensitive skin.
  • Apply the makeup remover on dry skin to ensure better tolerance for sensitive areas. This helps reduce any potential irritation or redness.
  • Do a patch test before your first use and avoid the direct eye area to ensure safe application.
