Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent hydration is provided for your dry and sensitive skin by glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which attract and retain moisture, while prunus domestica seed oil offers emollient benefits to smooth flaky patches.
  • The inclusion of rosa damascena flower water and extract further soothes and calms your sensitive skin, enhancing overall comfort.
  • This formula is safe for your skin, as it contains no harsh ingredients and is formulated with soothing components.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using this moisturizer 3 times a week and move to daily use if your dry skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply this moisturizer after cleansing and toner in the morning, or after your serum in the evening. Always pair it with SPF in the morning.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing it harshly to protect your sensitive skin.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help with hydration absorption. This also works well for dry and flaky skin types.
  • Do a patch test before your first use. Avoid the eye area to prevent any irritation.

People Say

★4.7Overall rating based on 7.2k+ reviews

This gel-cream moisturizer is widely praised by users with normal to dry skin for delivering immediate, lightweight hydration that leaves the complexion looking dewy and plump. While many adore the luxurious rose scent and its ability to soothe sensitive skin, a notable minority experiences "pilling" when layering it with other products or finds the fragrance too strong. This summary is based on a very large amount of data and should definitely be taken into account.

Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
