Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate benefits for normal skin, as Bisabolol and Jojoba Seed Oil provide anti-inflammatory and emollient actions, but it does not directly address your primary concern of wrinkles and fine lines.
- The formula effectively removes makeup with Isopropyl Palmitate and Isohexadecane, which dissolve oil-based impurities, offering general skincare benefits like hydration and soothing.
- The product is safe for your normal skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components like Bisabolol and Lavender Oil.
How to apply
- Use this makeup remover as part of your PM routine every evening. Start 3x/week and move to daily use as your skin feels comfortable.
- Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser and toner. It acts as the very first step to melt away makeup.
- Gently massage a small amount of the makeup remover over dry skin to dissolve makeup, then rinse with warm water. Avoid any harsh rubbing around your eyes.
- Apply this makeup remover directly onto dry skin to effectively break down stubborn makeup and impurities. There is no need to dampen your face beforehand.
- Do a patch test before your first use to ensure your skin reacts well. Avoid direct contact with your eyes while cleansing.

What the research says
Fermented flower extracts of Jasminum sambac enhance cell viability and attenuate UVB- and H2O2-induced reactive oxygen species production, collagen degradation, MAPK activation, and premature senescence in human dermal fibroblasts compared to untreated damaged cells.
Environmental Toxicology, 2021Jasminum sambac cell extract reduces cytosolic reactive oxygen species, decreases AGE formation, increases collagen type I production, activates the Nrf2/ARE pathway, and decreases NO levels in LPS-stimulated macrophages.
Antioxidants, 2022Topical application of Jasminum grandiflorum leaf extract ointment accelerated cutaneous wound healing by enhancing collagen synthesis, increasing tissue growth, improving antioxidant status, and reducing lipid peroxidation in rats.
International Wound Journal, 2013A combination of five-colored plants (mung bean, white truffle, black truffle, chrysanthemum, and Lycium barbarum) at 0.5% concentration improved fibroblast wound healing by 59.89%, reduced cellular senescence markers by 76.32%, and increased epidermal thickness and collagen levels in an ex vivo skin model compared to a negative control.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2025Topical administration of phenolic-containing Lycium barbarum extract decreased ROS levels and matrix metalloproteinase expression while increasing antioxidant defenses, skin collagen content, and barrier proteins, leading to an improvement of UV-induced skin erythema, thickness, and wrinkles in mice.
Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2022Lycium barbarum polysaccharide pretreatment effectively protects HaCaT cells and mouse skin from blue-light-induced oxidative damage, apoptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunction by reducing elevated cellular autophagy and mitophagy levels.
Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2024A 1-year clinical study on human facial skin demonstrated that Zingiber officinale (L.) Rose extract inhibits the UV-induced decrease in skin elasticity and prevents or improves wrinkle formation around the eye.
Archives of Dermatological Research, 2008Ginger extract transethosomal hydrogel improved skin permeability, sustained drug release, and exhibited significant inhibition of edema swelling along with reduced reactive oxygen species and prostaglandin E2 compared to free ginger extract hydrogel and ketoprofen gel in a rat-paw edema model.
International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2023Topical delivery of ginger extract-loaded nanoemulsions significantly reduced arthritic symptoms, paw edema inhibition by 27.7%, and inflammatory cytokines in RA-induced rats compared to the negative control.
