Lovi Assistant explains
- This product offers excellent makeup removal for your dry skin, as Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Peg-20 Glyceryl Triisostearate effectively dissolve impurities while Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil and Olea Europaea Fruit Oil provide essential hydration and nourishment. The inclusion of Resveratrol and Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil further supports your dry or flaky skin by offering emollient action to smooth intercellular lipids. The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.
How to apply

- Apply this makeup remover as a pre-cleanser step before using your regular cleanser and moisturizer.
- Gently wipe a small amount of makeup remover across your face using a soft cotton pad. Avoid any harsh rubbing on dry or flaky skin.
- Apply the makeup remover directly onto dry skin to easily dissolve makeup without stripping your natural moisture. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
- Avoid direct contact with your eyes and do a patch test before first use. Discontinue use if irritation occurs.
