Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your normal skin with sensitivity, as coco-betaine and coco-glucoside effectively cleanse pores while Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water and Cannabis Sativa Seed Oil soothe and calm redness and irritation. Glycerin and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water provide humectant action and antioxidant activity, respectively, further enhancing suitability for your skin type and concerns.
  • The formulation is safe for your normal skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use your cleanser in the AM and PM routines every day. Start using it daily since your sensitive skin needs gentle care.
  • Apply this first in your morning and evening skincare routine before toner and moisturizer. This clears away dirt without upsetting your skin.
  • Gently massage a small amount onto your face using soft circles. Avoid any rough rubbing to keep redness away.
  • Apply the cleanser on slightly damp skin to help it wash away impurities softly. Clean skin feels fresh and comfortable afterwards.
  • Avoid getting the cleanser in your eyes and do a quick patch test before first use. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
