Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate exfoliation for your dry skin due to the presence of rice bran extract and papain, which provide gentle cleansing and skin renewal.
- It is moderately suitable for dry skin as betaine and aloe barbadensis leaf juice offer humectant action, but it lacks sufficient emollient ingredients to fully address dryness.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your dry skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like allantoin and aloe barbadensis leaf juice.
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.
