Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your dry skin as Sodium Hyaluronate and Glycerin provide humectant action, though it lacks sufficient emollient ingredients for optimal hydration.
- The presence of papain and Carica Papaya Fruit Extract offers excellent enzymatic exfoliation for general cleansing benefits.
- The formula is safe for your dry skin, containing no harsh ingredients and including soothing components like Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate.
How to apply
- Use your enzyme powder cleanser as part of your PM routine once a week to start. Carefully increase frequency only if your dry skin tolerates it well.
- Apply this powder cleanser after your regular pre-cleanser and cleanser steps, but before your toner and moisturizer. Follow the weekly routine order for best results.
- Mix a small amount of the enzyme powder cleanser with water in your hands to create a gentle foam. Gently massage the foam onto your face without harsh rubbing.
- Apply the cleanser to slightly damp skin to help activate the enzyme formula smoothly. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water afterward.
- Avoid the eye area during application and do a patch test before your first use. Always use SPF the next day since exfoliants can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
