The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Italy.

Brand: [Peach & Lily](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/brands/peach-and-lily)
Category: [Cleansers](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/best/cleansers)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with dark spots: hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for skin with dark spots; other cleansers fit it better.

## Why this fit

- This cleanser offers excellent suitability for your normal skin due to glycerin and panthenol providing humectant action and barrier repair, respectively.
- While coco-glucoside and tea-cocoyl glutamate ensure effective cleansing, the formula's supportive hydration and soothing benefits from ingredients like Camellia Japonica Flower Extract are not specifically targeted for your main goal of pigmentation.
- The product is safe for your skin, as it contains no harsh ingredients and includes soothing components like Camellia Japonica Flower Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Peach & Lily Power Calm Hydrating Gel Cleanser work for skin with dark spots?

This cleanser works for skin with dark spots, though other products fit this skin better because it lacks targeted brightening ingredients. It needs brightening ingredients like niacinamide and ceramides alongside gentle cleansing and soothing components to better address dark spots.

### Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for skin with dark spots?

This cleanser works for your skin because it contains licorice root extract, though a product of this type needs dedicated brightening ingredients like niacinamide and ceramides to effectively address dark spots.

### What does Chamomile Extract do for skin with dark spots?

Chamomile extract helps calm skin and may reduce dark spots by fighting oxidative stress. To effectively target stubborn dark spots, this type of product needs additional brightening ingredients like niacinamide or arbutin.

Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31033161/), [Experimental Dermatology, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42865293/)

### Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for skin with dark spots?

This cleanser goes as the second step in the evening routine after a makeup remover, and as the first step in the morning routine before a hydrating toner. It cleanses effectively while keeping the skin calm, though skin with dark spots needs a product that includes targeted brightening ingredients and dark spot correctors.

### Can I use this cleanser with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this cleanser with retinol, applying the cleanser first on damp skin before your retinol treatment. A cleanser for this skin needs brightening ingredients like licorice root extract to help fade dark spots.

### How often should I use this cleanser?

You can use this cleanser twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine. It gently washes your face while keeping your skin calm, but fading dark spots effectively requires brightening ingredients and targeted treatments.
