Skincare routine for dry sensitive skin

Routine by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Cleansers, toners, makeup removers, serums, and moisturizers with glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, ceramides, and centella asiatica extract help soothe redness, relieve tightness, and smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Meanwhile, enzyme powder with papain and masks with squalane and niacinamide help clear away flakiness while keeping skin soft.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while it rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds the deeper steps for dry sensitive skin.
