Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your normal skin, this cleanser effectively cleanses and hydrates with glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which draw moisture into the skin and support barrier function.
  • While it offers general skincare benefits, it does not contain specialized ingredients like peptides or retinoids to directly target your wrinkles and fine lines.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing oat kernel flour.

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.
