Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your normal skin, this makeup remover effectively dissolves waterproof makeup with Isododecane and Poloxamer 184, which cleanse without stripping natural oils.
  • While Poloxamer 184 offers mild cleansing and emollient action, its benefits for wrinkles and fine lines are moderate.
  • The formula is safe for your normal skin, as it lacks prohibited or harsh ingredients and poses no risk of irritation.

How to apply

  • Use this makeup remover as part of your PM routine every evening. Start 3x/week and move to daily use as your skin feels comfortable.
  • Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser and toner. It acts as the very first step to melt away makeup.
  • Gently massage a small amount of the makeup remover over dry skin to dissolve makeup, then rinse with warm water. Avoid any harsh rubbing around your eyes.
  • Apply this makeup remover directly onto dry skin to effectively break down stubborn makeup and impurities. There is no need to dampen your face beforehand.
  • Do a patch test before your first use to ensure your skin reacts well. Avoid direct contact with your eyes while cleansing.
