Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Extremely low suitability for your dry skin due to retinol and ascorbic acid, which can be drying, and a lack of sufficient emollient and occlusive ingredients to counteract this effect.
- While hyaluronic acid and glycerin offer hydration, the overall formula is not balanced to address dryness or flakiness effectively.
How to apply
- Apply this serum PM, starting 3脳/week and working up to daily use as your skin adjusts.
- Place the serum after cleansing and toner, but right before your moisturizer.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
- Apply the serum on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture.
- Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use.
Questions and answers
Why does Lovi advise against ROC Deep Wrinkle Filler for dry skin?
Lovi advises against this treatment because retinol and vitamin C can be drying, and the formula lacks enough heavy moisturizing and sealing ingredients to prevent flakiness. A product for dry skin needs rich moisturizing agents and soothing ingredients like Centella Asiatica and Sodium Hyaluronate to keep skin soft and comfortable.
Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for dry skin?
Retinol and ascorbic acid make this cream a poor fit because they can dry out dry skin. A product for dry skin needs rich moisturizing ingredients like centella asiatica and sodium hyaluronate to keep skin soft and smooth.
What does Water do for dry skin?
Drinking more water helps increase skin hydration and may reduce clinical signs of dryness and roughness, particularly for individuals with lower prior water consumption.
What does Glycerin do for dry skin?
Glycerin helps dry skin by drawing in moisture and keeping it locked in, which makes the skin feel much softer and smoother. It also supports your natural skin barrier to stop water from escaping easily. A product for dry skin needs extra ingredients like hyaluronic acid and soothing plant extracts to truly calm and hydrate dry patches.

Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for dry skin?
This cream is a treatment that goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing, but it is a poor match for dry skin. This type of skin needs a formula packed with rich smoothing oils and heavy protective ingredients to keep it soft and comfortable.
Can I use it with niacinamide, and in what order?
You should avoid using this product on dry skin because retinol and ascorbic acid may cause drying, and the formula lacks enough rich, protective ingredients to keep skin soft. A product for this skin needs rich, protective ingredients and hydrating helpers to lock in moisture and prevent flakiness.
How often should I use this cream?
This cream is a poor match for dry skin because its drying ingredients may make flakiness worse, so a dry skin type needs a gentle formula packed with rich moisturizers and oils instead.
The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019Facial Plastic Surgery, 2014
Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?
This treatment is unlikely to clog pores, but retinol may cause peeling on dry skin. To work well for dry skin, a product of this type needs richer, softening ingredients and heavier sealants to lock in moisture and prevent flaking.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
What the research says
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, 2017The 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, 2001Wearing an N95 mask alone compared to using dimethicone cream or hydrocolloid dressing caused more adverse skin reactions among 73 military health care workers, with no significant differences in fit test failure rates between groups.
Military Medicine, 2024A dimethicone skin protectant lotion significantly decreased visual scoring and transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control and SLS-only treated sites in 12 healthy humans exposed to sodium lauryl sulfate.
Skin Research and Technology, 2000Treatment with a moisturizer containing dimethicone and glycerine increased epidermal thickness by 0.019 mm, improved barrier function by decreasing transepidermal water loss by 13%, decreased melanin intensity, and induced keratins 6 and 16 in fifteen women with moderately photoaged forearms.
