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

Brand: Elizavecca Milky Piggy
Category: [Toners](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/best/toners)

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

A poor match for dry sensitive skin; the toners alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers excellent exfoliation for your dry and sensitive skin due to lactic acid and glycolic acid, which smooth texture, but the presence of alcohol and multiple acids can strip natural oils and exacerbate dryness.
- Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide some humectant action to support hydration, though they are not specialized enough to directly address your dry or flaky skin concerns.
- The formula is safe for your dry and sensitive skin as it lacks prohibited or harsh ingredients that could cause irritation.

## 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, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Application of a cream containing lactic acid 12% and pramoxine HCl 1% significantly improved skin dryness, hydration, and itch compared with a nontreated control in 24 women with a history of dry itchy skin. ([Cutis, 2004](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15027519/))
- Topical 12% ammonium lactate produced a significant sparing of epidermal and dermal atrophy induced by clobetasol propionate in human volunteers, without influencing the corticosteroid's bioavailability or antiinflammatory properties. ([Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1992](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1597538/))
- A lactic acid/ceramide lotion significantly improved skin moisturization and desquamation compared to no treatment in women with dry, rough skin on the anterior shins. ([The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33178384/))
- Topical 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, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33103316/))
- Topical 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, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17882270/))
- Topical 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, 2005](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16029679/))
- Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen achieved a higher cure rate (39%) than salicylic acid (24%) and a wait-and-see approach (16%) for cutaneous warts at 13 weeks in primary care patients. ([CMAJ, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20837684/))
- A moisturizer containing licochalcone A, 1,2-decanediol, L-carnitine, and salicylic acid significantly reduced noninflammatory, inflammatory, and total acne lesion counts compared to a vehicle control in Thai patients during a 12-week maintenance phase.

## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, this toner is highly effective for improving skin texture, reducing pore appearance, and clearing breakouts. Many users report smoother, softer skin with fewer blemishes. However, a moderate number of users with sensitive or dry skin experience stinging, redness, and dryness.

## How to apply

- Use this exfoliating toner only in your PM routine, starting 1×/week since your skin is sensitive. Carefully build up frequency only if your skin feels comfortable.
- Apply the exfoliating toner after using your cleanser and before your final moisturizer. This ensures it works effectively on clean skin.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the exfoliating toner into your skin using your hands. Avoid rubbing to prevent any irritation.
- Apply the exfoliating toner on completely dry skin to ensure better tolerance for your sensitive type. Let it absorb fully before moving to the next step.
- Do a patch test before your first use and avoid the delicate eye area. Keep this product separate from other strong acids or retinoids to protect your skin barrier.

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Hell-Pore Clean Up AHA Fruit Toner for dry sensitive skin?

This toner offers exfoliation that smooths texture, but alcohol and multiple acids may strip natural oils and worsen dryness on your skin. Dry skin of this type needs formulas rich in gentle exfoliating and hydrating ingredients that boost moisture retention and support the skin barrier without causing irritation.

### Which ingredients make this toner a poor fit for dry sensitive skin?

This toner is a poor fit because the presence of alcohol and multiple exfoliating acids can strip natural oils and exacerbate dryness.

### What does Alpha Hydroxy Acid do for dry sensitive skin?

Alpha Hydroxy Acid helps dry sensitive skin by improving skin hydration and smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles. Choosing a gentle formulation like lactic acid may also reduce irritation complaints while making your skin feel soft and smooth.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 1996](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19245467/), [Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1996](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8784274/)

### What does Lactic Acid do for dry sensitive skin?

Lactic acid helps hydrate dry skin, but for sensitive skin it may cause stinging and irritation unless it is formulated with soothing ingredients like colloidal oat or tangerine fruit extract to calm discomfort.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36575892/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33500646/)

### Where does this toner go in a skincare routine for dry sensitive skin?

This exfoliating toner is a poor match for dry and sensitive skin, as the alcohol and multiple acids may strip natural oils and worsen dryness. For this skin type, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients, gentle hydrators, and no harsh alcohols to protect the skin barrier.

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

It is best to avoid using this exfoliating toner and retinol together on dry sensitive skin, as the combination of multiple acids and alcohol may strip natural oils and greatly increase dryness and irritation. If you do use them separately, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients, gentle hydrators, and barrier-supporting oils to keep the skin calm and comfortable.

### How often should I use this toner?

This toner is a poor match for your dry sensitive skin, because the alcohol and multiple acids may strip your natural oils and worsen dryness. When you want to use a product of this type, it needs gentle acids paired with richer soothing and hydrating ingredients to keep your skin soft and comfortable.

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

This toner is unlikely to clog pores, but it may cause breakouts or purging for dry sensitive skin because it contains multiple exfoliating acids and alcohol that can strip natural oils and worsen dryness. A product for this skin type needs gentle hydration and barrier-repairing ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid without harsh acids or alcohol to keep skin smooth and comfortable.

### Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (alcohol).
