Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin as Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin B5 provide hydration, but it lacks sufficient ingredients for effective seboregulation to manage oily shine.
- While Manuka Honey offers some general skincare benefits, the formulation is primarily focused on makeup removal and hydration, not directly addressing your main goal of reducing oily shine.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
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.

What does Ionized Water do for oily skin?
Ionized Water helps support your skin barrier and may boost natural moisture-locking lipids. Oily skin still needs strong barrier support, which this ingredient provides along with gentle hydration that is unlikely to feel heavy.
What does Hyaluronic Acid do for oily skin?
Hyaluronic acid helps oily skin by reducing extra oil and sebum production without causing irritation. Clinical studies show it successfully balances oil levels while keeping the skin comfortable.
Where does this makeup remover go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This makeup remover goes in the evening routine before cleansing, but it is a weak match for oily skin because it focuses on hydration rather than reducing oily shine. An oily skin routine with this type of product needs extra ingredients like oil-controlling or clarifying agents to properly manage excess oil.
Can I use this makeup remover with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this makeup remover in your evening routine before cleansing and applying your retinol treatment, as it is very safe and unlikely to cause irritation. Because oily skin needs a product that helps manage shine, this makeup remover works best when you follow it with a cleanser, toner, and oil-controlling treatment that contains ingredients like l-carnitine or niacinamide.
How often should I use this makeup remover?
You can use this makeup remover in the evening to clear away makeup, as it has a very safe profile and is unlikely to cause irritation on oily skin.

However, it offers a weak match for your oily skin because it lacks specific ingredients to manage oily shine. A product for this skin needs balancing ingredients like niacinamide, salicylic acid, or clay to help control excess oil.
