Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your dry and sensitive skin due to Olea Europaea Oil Fruit and Jojoba Seed Oil, which provide emollient action to smooth intercellular lipids and support barrier repair.
- Offers excellent makeup removal with Ethylhexyl Palmitate and Triethylhexanoin effectively dissolving oil-based impurities, while Sodium Acetylhyaluronate and Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate provide moderate hydration.
- The formulation is safe for your dry and sensitive skin, as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients that could cause irritation.
How to apply
- Use your makeup remover PM as the first step of your evening routine. Start 3×/week daily use if your dry skin tolerates it well.
- Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser, toner, and moisturizer. It prepares your face for a thorough double-cleansing routine.
- Gently press a small amount onto your skin using a soft cotton pad. Avoid rubbing to protect your sensitive and flaky skin.
- Apply the makeup remover on completely dry skin to ensure better tolerance and comfort. This prevents any extra irritation for reactive skin types.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a patch test before your very first use to prevent irritation.
