Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent for your dry and sensitive skin as Centella Asiatica Extract and Madecassoside provide soothing and hydrating benefits, while glycerin and panthenol offer humectant and barrier repair actions.
  • The cleansing agents, Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate and Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, effectively remove impurities without compromising your skin's moisture barrier.
  • The product is safe for your skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of calming components.

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.
