The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Singapore.

Brand: JKosmmune
Category: [Exfoliants](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/best/exfoliators)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with dry sensitive skin: flakiness, tightness, redness, fine lines, and wrinkles. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for dry sensitive skin; other products fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for your dry skin as humectants like Sorbitol and Betaine provide some hydration, while papain and sodium cocoyl isethionate cleanse pores effectively.
- Beta-Glucan and Allantoin offer general soothing and hydration benefits, though the formula lacks sufficient emollient or occlusive ingredients for optimal hydration of dry or flaky skin.
- The product is safe for your dry and sensitive skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

## Questions and answers

### How well does JKosmmune Enzyme Cleansing Powder work for dry sensitive skin?

This cleanser works moderately well for dry sensitive skin because hydrating ingredients like sorbitol and betaine provide some moisture while papain cleanses pores without causing irritation. However, a product for this skin type needs extra softening and sealing ingredients to lock in hydration and prevent dryness.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23752031/), [Skin Research and Technology, 2003](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12535284/)

### Which ingredients make this cleanser a good fit for dry sensitive skin?

Sorbitol and betaine help provide hydration while cleansing pores, and beta-glucan and allantoin offer soothing benefits that are safe for sensitive skin. To truly suit dry skin, this type of cleanser also needs rich softening and sealing ingredients to lock in moisture.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23752031/), [Skin Research and Technology, 2003](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12535284/)

### What does Beta-Glucan do for dry sensitive skin?

Beta-glucan helps calm dry, sensitive skin while improving hydration and repairing the skin barrier to keep it soft and smooth. It works well for this skin type because it has soothing and moisturizing properties that are very unlikely to cause irritation.
Sources: [Food Science & Nutrition, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40291929/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33128496/)

### What does Papain do for dry sensitive skin?

Papain is generally too harsh for dry, sensitive skin because it breaks down skin proteins and may cause irritation and barrier disruption. Instead, dry and sensitive skin needs gentle, hydrating ingredients like glycerin or soothing plant extracts to keep the skin calm and smooth.
Sources: [The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25705851/)

### Where does this cleanser go in a skincare routine for dry sensitive skin?

This cleanser goes in your morning and evening routine, starting at once a week because it is an exfoliating product. It is unlikely to irritate your skin due to soothing components, but this type of product needs extra rich oils and butters or protective sealants to properly care for dry skin.

### Can I use this cleanser with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this cleanser with retinol, applying the cleanser first before your retinol treatment. It is unlikely to cause irritation on dry sensitive skin due to soothing components, but this skin type needs extra rich moisturizers and barrier-protecting ingredients to stay comfortable.

### How often should I use this cleanser?

Start using this enzyme powder cleanser once a week, and if your skin tolerates it well and shows good results, you can carefully use it more often. A product of this type works best for dry skin when it includes rich nourishing oils or protective butters to lock in moisture.

### Can this cleanser clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry sensitive skin?

This cleanser is unlikely to clog pores, cause breakouts, or lead to purging for dry sensitive skin. It is formulated without harsh ingredients and includes soothing components, resulting in a safe profile for sensitive skin types.

### Is this cleanser fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
