Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate exfoliation for your oily skin due to peppermint oil and rosemary leaf water, which provide a cooling and pore-refining effect, but the inclusion of Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil may be too heavy and clog pores.
  • The formulation provides moderate soothing relief for irritated skin with peppermint oil and rose flower water, though the emollient action of Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil is not ideal for oily skin.
