This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with sensitive skin: redness, stinging, and reactions to new products. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for sensitive skin; the eye cares alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate plumping and minimizing fine lines due to Hyaluronic Acid and Peptides, which hydrate and improve skin elasticity, but these ingredients are not specialized for your redness and irritation concerns.
- Glycerin and Niacinamide provide general hydration and soothing benefits suitable for normal skin, though they do not target your specific skin issues.
- The product is safe for your sensitive skin as it contains no harsh ingredients and includes soothing components like Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid.

- Optimized transfersomes loaded with epigallocatechin-3-gallate and hyaluronic acid increased cell viability while reducing lipid peroxidation, intracellular ROS, and MMP expression in HaCaT cells, and exhibited higher skin permeation and deposition compared to plain EGCG. ([Drug Delivery, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28155509/))
- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.

- Topical nicotinamide prevented solar-simulated UV-induced immunosuppression in healthy volunteers, and men experienced immunosuppression at solar-simulated UV doses three times lower than those required for women.

## Questions and answers

### Why is Dr. Melaxin Eyephalt a weak match for sensitive skin?

Dr. Melaxin EYEPHALT is a weak match for sensitive skin because its ingredients are not specialized to calm redness and irritation. An eye care product for this skin needs soothing and hydrating ingredients that effectively address redness and irritation without any associated risks, while also performing its intended anti-aging function well.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for sensitive skin?

This cream is a weak match for your sensitive skin because it contains retinol, ascorbic acid, and caffeine, which may trigger redness and irritation. An eye cream for sensitive skin needs soothing ingredients and calming agents to reduce redness and irritation without any risk of irritation.

### What does Glycerin do for sensitive skin?

Glycerin helps keep sensitive skin soft and deeply hydrated while supporting the skin barrier. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may protect against dryness and roughness.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 1999](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10598752/)

### What does Caffeine do for sensitive skin?

Caffeine is unlikely to irritate sensitive skin and helps calm redness by boosting microcirculation and providing antioxidant protection against UV damage. It is generally well tolerated, though sensitive skin types looking for this benefit need formulas with soothing ingredients and without harsh fragrances.
Sources: [Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23075568/), [Frontiers in Physiology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31130869/)

### Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This eye care product goes in the treatment step of your evening routine. A product for this skin needs gentle, soothing ingredients that calm redness and irritation without causing further discomfort.

### Can I use this cream with glycolic acid, and in what order?

You can use this cream with glycolic acid by applying the acid first and following with this eye care product. This cream is unlikely to harm your sensitive skin since it contains no harsh ingredients, but a product of this type needs specialized soothing ingredients and barrier-restoring components like ceramides to properly target your redness and irritation concerns.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31322804/)

### How often should I use this cream?

Dr. Melaxin EYEPHALT is a weak match for sensitive skin because its ingredients do not target redness and irritation. Sensitive skin needs products with calming agents and gentle hydrators like glycerin and niacinamide to keep the skin calm and soft.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?

This eye care product is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for sensitive skin because it contains no heavy or harsh ingredients. However, to truly care for sensitive skin prone to irritation, a product of this type needs dedicated calming ingredients and barrier-supporting agents that directly target redness.

### Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
