The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Germany.

Brand: [Clean & Clear](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/brands/clean-and-clear)
Category: [Exfoliants](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/best/exfoliators)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with dry skin: flakiness, tightness, dehydration, fine lines, and wrinkles. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for dry skin; other exfoliants fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation due to polyethylene and sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which provide general skincare benefits like hydration and cleansing, but are not specifically targeted for your dry or flaky skin.
- The presence of Menthyl Lactate may cause a cooling sensation and potential irritation for your dry skin, and the formula lacks sufficient emollient ingredients to adequately address dryness.
- The product is safe for your dry skin as it does not contain prohibited or harsh ingredients that would cause irritation.

([Rejuvenation Research, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25867599/))
- A red ginseng hydrogel formulation with 1,2-hexanediol promoted selective growth of Staphylococcus epidermidis and decreased Cutibacterium acnes in 20 female subjects. ([Journal of Ginseng Research, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35509819/))
- A 1% fermented black ginseng cream significantly reduced eye wrinkles and brightened skin color in twenty-three human subjects compared to control cream and baseline. ([Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health. Part A, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32564709/))
- Transgenic cucumber expressing poly-γ-glutamic acid synthesis genes increased water content by 6-14%, reduced water loss by 11-12%, decreased facial wrinkles and roughness by 19.58% and 24.97%, decreased skin melanin by 5.27%, and improved facial elasticity in human skin and zebrafish compared to controls. ([International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38336313/))

## Why other exfoliants fit dry skin better

- Phytosphingosine increased filaggrin metabolism and skin hydration in human skin by stimulating filaggrin biosynthesis and degradation leading to natural moisturizing factor formation. ([Archives of Dermatological Research, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28936777/))
- Topical dexpanthenol formulated in lipophilic vehicles improved stratum corneum hydration and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control in humans. ([Arzneimittel-Forschung, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10965426/))

## How to apply

- Use this exfoliant as part of your PM routine once a week, increasing slowly to twice a week if your dry skin tolerates it well. Always remember to apply SPF every morning to protect your newly smoothed skin.
- Apply the exfoliant after cleansing and toning, but always before your rich moisturizer.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the exfoliant into your skin and let it absorb for a minute. Avoid rubbing to prevent any irritation on flaky areas.
- Apply the product directly to dry clean skin to ensure the best possible tolerance for your dry type. This helps address flaky patches without causing extra stress.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a quick patch test before your very first use. Do not mix this with other strong acids or retinoids on the same night.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Scrub work for dry skin?

Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Scrub works only moderately for dry skin because it lacks enough softening ingredients to properly handle dryness and may cause irritation. An exfoliant for dry skin needs rich hydrating and barrier-repairing ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid.
Sources: [International Journal of Toxicology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17365139/)

### Which ingredients make this exfoliant a good fit for dry skin?

This exfoliant works for dry skin because it contains polyethylene and sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which offer moderate cleansing and general skincare benefits. However, because it lacks sufficient softening ingredients to address dryness, dry skin needs an exfoliant with rich hydrating and barrier-repairing ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid.
Sources: [International Journal of Toxicology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17365139/)

### What do Bursting Beads do for dry skin?

Bursting beads deliver targeted moisture and active ingredients to dry skin, helping to keep it soft and smooth. This advanced delivery approach provides a higher moisturizing effect and reduces water loss compared to standard formulas, supporting a healthier skin barrier.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37803998/), [Therapeutic Delivery, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40019355/)

### What does Vitamin C do for dry skin?

Vitamin C helps dry skin by boosting moisture and keeping the surface smooth and soft. It may also improve skin hydration and support the outer protective barrier over time.
Sources: [Skin Research and Technology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19159387/), [Experimental Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18503551/)

### Where does it go in a skincare routine for dry skin?

Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Scrub fits into a routine for dry skin as an exfoliating step used once a week to start. Because your skin is dry, this product needs to be followed by rich hydrating creams and soothing oils that add missing moisture and protect against irritation.

### Can I use this exfoliant with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this scrub in your morning routine, keeping your retinol strictly for the evening to protect your skin from irritation. This product is safe, but because it lacks enough softening ingredients, dry skin needs a rich moisturizer afterwards to stay smooth.

### How often should I use it?

Start using this scrub once a week because exfoliating steps are introduced gradually, though you may use it more often if you tolerate it well and see good results. It is safe for your dry skin, but a product of this type needs extra soothing and softening ingredients to keep your skin smooth and comfortable.

### Can this exfoliant clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?

Clean & Clear Morning Burst Facial Scrub is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores on dry skin, though its cooling ingredients may cause irritation. A product for this skin type needs extra softening ingredients to keep it smooth and comfortable.
Sources: [International Journal of Toxicology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17365139/)

### Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
