Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration and texture smoothing for your dry and sensitive skin, as sodium hyaluronate and acetyl hexapeptide-8 provide humectant and smoothing benefits respectively. Glycerin and sclerocarya birrea seed oil further support dry skin by offering emollient action.
- The formula provides general skincare benefits, such as hydration, with ingredients like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which are supportive for dry or flaky skin.
- The product is safe for your dry and sensitive skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like niacinamide and sodium hyaluronate.
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.

Questions and answers
How well does rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid work for dry sensitive skin?
This fluid works reasonably well for dry sensitive skin by offering moderate hydration and smoothing through ingredients like sodium hyaluronate, glycerin, and marula oil. It helps soften the skin, but dry skin of this type needs products rich in deeply nourishing ingredients and heavy moisturizers to lock in moisture and fully support the skin barrier.
Which ingredients make this treatment a good fit for dry sensitive skin?
Sodium hyaluronate, acetyl hexapeptide-8, glycerin, and sclerocarya birrea seed oil make this treatment a good fit by offering moderate hydration, smoothing, and softening for dry skin, while niacinamide helps soothe sensitive skin. To fit this dry and sensitive skin even better, a moisturizing treatment needs highly effective, soothing ingredients that provide deep hydration and nourishment, rich emollients and humectants to support the skin barrier, and an allergen-free formula that avoids irritation.
What does Argireline do for dry sensitive skin?
Argireline helps smooth fine lines and keeps skin soft, but dry sensitive skin needs added moisture and soothing ingredients to feel fully comfortable. It is unlikely to cause irritation when used as directed, yet a product of this type for dry sensitive skin needs rich hydrators and calming agents to prevent dryness and protect the skin barrier.
American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2013International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2025
What does Niacinamide do for dry sensitive skin?
Niacinamide helps dry sensitive skin by calming irritation and keeping moisture locked in so your face feels soft and smooth. It works to build up your skin barrier and calm redness while being very gentle and unlikely to cause irritation.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2004International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2013
Where does this treatment go in a skincare routine for dry sensitive skin?
This treatment goes in the evening routine after your toner and before your moisturizer. A product of this type needs richer oils and deeper hydrating ingredients to fully care for dry and sensitive skin.
Can I use this treatment with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this treatment with retinol by applying the treatment first and then following it with your retinol product, or by using it as your nighttime treatment step. This product helps provide moderate hydration and smoothing, but dry and sensitive skin needs richer moisturizers with extra barrier-repairing ingredients and heavier oils to truly thrive.
How often should I use this treatment?
You can use this treatment in your evening routine, applying it after your cleanser and toner and before your moisturizer. For dry and sensitive skin, a product of this type needs rich oils and gentle water-attracting ingredients that keep skin soft and calm without causing irritation.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this treatment clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry sensitive skin?
This treatment may cause breakouts, as some reviewers with dry sensitive skin report this issue. Products of this type need non-comedogenic ingredients and lightweight formulas to keep pores clear while caring for dry skin.
Can I use this treatment around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizing treatment around the eyes and on your body, as it is generally safe and unlikely to cause irritation on dry, sensitive skin. To better fit very dry or thin skin in those areas, a product of this type needs richer oils and deeper hydrators that lock in moisture and soothe dryness.
Is this treatment fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (benzyl alcohol).
What the research says
Topical application of Sclerocarya birrea nut oil is non-irritant, exhibits significant moisturising and hydrating effects on lipid-dry skin, and shows occlusive properties on normal skin in healthy caucasian adult female volunteers.
Journal of Ethnopharmacology, 2015A 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, 2017Treatment with cross-linked hyaluronic acid-based microneedle patches combined with acetyl hexapeptide-8 or epidermal growth factor significantly improved wrinkles and skin hydration compared to the patch alone in Korean females over 29 days.
Annals of Dermatology, 2019Argireline treatment twice daily for 4 weeks produced a significant anti-wrinkle effect with 48.9% total efficacy and decreased skin roughness in Chinese subjects compared with 0% efficacy and no decrease in roughness in the placebo group.
American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2013Acetyl hexapeptide-3 and tripeptide-10 citrulline demonstrated antiwrinkle efficacy and decreased transepidermal water loss in twenty-four healthy volunteers compared to control groups, though synergistic effects between the two peptides remained unclear.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2017Topical post-laser application of human adipocyte-derived mesenchymal stem cell media combined with niacinamide significantly improved wrinkle index, melanin index, patient satisfaction, and investigator esthetic improvement scores compared to vehicle cream in patients with aging skin.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021Topical 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.
The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2008Topical 5% niacinamide applied twice daily for 12 weeks reduced fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmented spots, red blotchiness, and skin sallowness, and improved skin elasticity compared to vehicle control in 50 female white subjects with facial photoaging.
Dermatologic Surgery, 2005The 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, 2020Ten 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, 2001Niacinamide/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.
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control.
Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction.
