Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate exfoliation for wrinkles and fine lines due to the presence of mandelic acid, which promotes skin renewal, and is highly suitable for your normal skin due to glycerin providing humectant action.
- The moderate cleansing provided by ammonium lauryl sulfate and mandelic acid helps in decongesting pores.
- The product is safe for your normal skin as it lacks prohibited or harsh ingredients, minimizing irritation risks.
How to apply
- Use your cleanser as part of both your AM and PM routine. Start using it daily since your skin is normal and not sensitive.
- Apply this first in your routine before using your toner, moisturizer, and SPF.
- Gently massage the cleanser onto your face using circular motions, then rinse well with water. Avoid rubbing your skin too hard.
- Apply the cleanser directly onto slightly damp skin for the best fresh feeling. Make sure your face is clean of heavy makeup first.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area while washing. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to be safe.

Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This cleanser goes in both your morning and evening routines as the first or second cleansing step. Using a gentle cleanser helps wash away dirt while keeping your skin comfortable and ready for the next steps.
Can I use this cleanser with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cleanser with retinol by using it in your morning routine or on nights when you skip your retinol step, as its exfoliating mandelic acid may be too strong to combine directly. Using a gentle cleanser helps keep your skin calm while preventing extra dryness or irritation.
How often should I use this cleanser?
Start by using this cleanser once a week, and if your skin feels comfortable and you see good results, you can carefully use it more often. It provides moderate exfoliation to help smooth wrinkles and fine lines, while keeping your skin feeling soft and safe from irritation.
Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
Vivant Mandelic Acid 3-in-1 Wash helps keep pores clear and is unlikely to cause breakouts on mature skin because mandelic acid and gentle cleansers work to clear out pores while promoting skin renewal. Since some users find this cleanser drying, it may help to start using it gradually.
Can I use this cleanser around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this cleanser on your body, but you should keep it away from the thin skin around your eyes to avoid irritation. The body's skin is generally thicker and can handle active ingredients and cleansers better than the delicate eye area.
Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
