Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate makeup removal for your oily skin due to Glycine Soja Oil Soybean Oil and Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil Sunflower Seed Oil, which help dissolve impurities without causing irritation. These ingredients provide emollient action suitable for oily skin, though they do not directly address oily shine.
  • The formula includes citrus and floral oils that offer a pleasant sensory experience, but lacks specific sebum-regulating ingredients for optimal results on oily skin.
  • The product is safe for your oily skin, as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients and carries no risk of irritation.

How to apply

  • Use this makeup remover PM as the first step of your evening routine. Start 3×/week and increase to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser and toner. It prepares your skin by melting away excess oil and makeup.
  • Gently press a small amount onto your dry skin using your fingertips. Massage softly and avoid harsh rubbing to protect your pores.
  • Apply this product on dry skin to effectively break down heavy makeup and surface oil. Massage it gently before washing it off with water.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a patch test before your first use to ensure your skin feels comfortable.

People Say

★4.5Overall rating based on 100+ reviews

Based on limited data, users with sensitive and combination skin generally praise this oil for its lightweight, non-stripping formula that effectively dissolves waterproof makeup and leaves the face feeling clean without tightness.

Questions and answers
