Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Highly suitable for your dry and sensitive skin as decyl glucoside and sapindus mukorossi peel extract provide excellent cleansing without irritation, while glycerin and propanediol offer moderate hydration.
  • Saccharomyces xylinum black tea ferment further supports skin conditioning, enhancing the product's benefits for dry or flaky skin.
  • The formulation is safe for your skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients, minimizing the risk of irritation.

How to apply

  • Use your cleanser AM and PM every day to keep your face fresh. Start slowly once a day if your dry skin feels sensitive at first.
  • Apply your cleanser first thing in your routine before any toner or moisturizer. Follow the usual steps for your AM or PM daily routine.
  • Gently massage the cleanser onto your face using soft circular motions. Avoid harsh rubbing to protect your dry skin.
  • Apply the cleanser to slightly damp skin to help it clean gently without stripping moisture. This method is very safe for sensitive and dry skin types.
  • Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and avoid the delicate eye area. Always do a patch test before using the product for the first time.
