Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Suboptimal compatibility with dry and flaky skin as Glycerin and Jojoba Seed Oil offer humectant and emollient actions but lack sufficient occlusive ingredients for optimal hydration.
- Decyl glucoside and sea silt provide moderate cleansing and pore decongestion, offering general skincare benefits that are mostly supportive for your dry or flaky skin.
- The formulation is safe for your dry and sensitive skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use your cleansing mask PM once a week as part of your weekly routine, and increase to twice a week if your dry skin tolerates it well.
- Apply the cleansing mask after cleansing and enzyme powder, but before your hydrating toner, serum, and moisturizer.
- Smooth an even layer of the cleansing mask over your face while gently avoiding any unnecessary rubbing.
- Apply the cleansing mask to clean and dry skin to ensure better comfort for your sensitive skin type.
- Always avoid the eye area and do a patch test before using the cleansing mask for the first time.
