Lovi Assistant explains
- Highly suitable for your normal skin, this cleansing oil effectively removes makeup with ingredients like Triethylhexanoin and Caprylic Capric Triglyceride, while Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Helianthus Annuus Seed Oil offer antioxidant and barrier repair benefits.
- While it provides general cleansing and hydration, it lacks specialized ingredients to target your wrinkles and fine lines.
- The formula is safe for your normal skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use this makeup remover as part of your PM routine every evening. Start 3x/week and move to daily use as your skin feels comfortable.
- Apply this makeup remover before your regular cleanser and toner. It acts as the very first step to melt away makeup.
- Gently massage a small amount of the makeup remover over dry skin to dissolve makeup, then rinse with warm water. Avoid any harsh rubbing around your eyes.
- Apply this makeup remover directly onto dry skin to effectively break down stubborn makeup and impurities. There is no need to dampen your face beforehand.
- Do a patch test before your first use to ensure your skin reacts well. Avoid direct contact with your eyes while cleansing.
