Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your combination skin as Centella Asiatica Extract provides anti-inflammatory action and supports barrier repair, while Glycerin offers humectant benefits to balance oiliness and hydration.
  • The cleansing agents, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine, are present in effective concentrations for thorough pore cleansing, addressing your oily shine concerns.
  • The formula is safe for your skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use this cleanser AM and PM as part of your daily routine. Start 3×/week and build up to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply this cleanser as the very first step in your morning routine and right after your pre-cleanser in the evening.
  • Gently massage a small amount of cleanser onto your skin using circular motions. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  • For the best results , apply the cleanser directly onto slightly damp skin to help lift away excess oil.
  • Avoid the immediate eye area and do a patch test before your first use to check for any sensitivity.

People Say

★4.7Overall rating based on 300+ reviews

Users with oily, combination, and acne-prone skin highly recommend this cleanser for its ability to deeply purify pores and remove excess sebum, leaving the face feeling refreshed. While many appreciate the rich, creamy lather and its effectiveness in refining skin texture, those with dry or very sensitive skin occasionally find it slightly stripping or drying if used daily.
