Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers excellent moisturizing for your dry skin due to C13-15 Alkane and Glycerin, which hydrate and enhance barrier resilience, though the benefits are mostly supportive rather than directly addressing dryness or flakiness.
- The presence of olive oil and glycerin provides emollient and humectant actions, making it highly suitable for dry skin.
- The product is generally safe for your dry skin, but Alcohol Denat and Lactic Acid carry a slight risk of irritation.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and work your way up to daily use.
- Apply your moisturizer after your toner and before your sunscreen in the morning. At night, use it as the final step after your serum.
- Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing to keep your dry skin happy.
- Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra hydration. This is great for soothing dry and flaky areas .
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a patch test before your first use .

Questions and answers
Why is KORRES Velvet Skin Drink a weak match for dry skin?
KORRES Velvet Skin Drink is a weak match for dry skin because its benefits are mostly supportive rather than directly addressing dryness or flakiness, and alcohol denat and lactic acid carry a slight risk of irritation. A product of this type needs to be safe with no risk of irritation, effectively address dry skin concerns with beneficial ingredients, and contain a rich blend of emollients, occlusives, peptides, and antioxidants that specifically target the needs of dry skin, ensuring adequate moisture retention and skin barrier support.
Which ingredients make this treatment a poor fit for dry skin?
Alcohol Denat and Lactic Acid make this treatment a weaker fit for your dry skin because they carry a slight risk of irritation. A moisturizing treatment for dry skin needs to be safe with no risk of irritation, effectively address dry skin concerns with beneficial ingredients, and contain plenty of hydrating ingredients, emollients, and occlusives to lock in moisture.
What does Resveratrol do for dry skin?
Resveratrol helps protect dry skin against everyday damage by providing strong antioxidant support and helping maintain a healthy skin barrier. It is unlikely to solve dry skin on its own, so dry skin needs a product of this type to also include rich moisturizing ingredients like ceramides to lock in deep hydration and keep the surface soft and smooth.
Dermatologic Therapy, 2019Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2019
What does Santorini Grape Extract do for dry skin?
Santorini Grape Extract helps soothe and protect dry skin by delivering high antioxidant activity and calming properties that support a healthy skin barrier. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may improve overall skin comfort.
Where does this treatment go in a skincare routine for dry skin?
This treatment goes in the evening routine before your moisturizer. Dry skin needs a rich moisturizer with ingredients like ceramides, shea butter, and plant oils to deeply soften skin and repair the moisture barrier.
Can I use this treatment with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this treatment with retinol by applying the treatment after your retinol to help keep your skin soft and smooth, though ingredients like alcohol denat may carry a slight risk of irritation. Dry skin of this type needs rich oils and heavy moisturizers with ceramides and hyaluronic acid to properly lock in hydration and deeply soothe flakiness.
How often should I use this treatment?
You can use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. A product of this type needs rich oils, butters, and humectants to truly soften dry skin and relieve flakiness.
Can this treatment clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?
This treatment is unlikely to cause breakouts for dry skin, as shoppers report this issue only rarely. To effectively care for dry skin without irritation, a product of this type needs rich moisturizing ingredients like plant oils and glycerin that deeply soften and smooth flaky areas.
Can I use this treatment around the eyes or on my body?
This moisturizing treatment is generally safe to use on the body and around the eyes, though alcohol and lactic acid carry a slight risk of irritation. A product for dry skin needs deep-acting plant oils, soothing botanical extracts, and rich moisturizers to properly target flakiness and dryness.
Is this treatment fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It contains fragrance (parfum) and drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
