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

Brand: [Eucerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/brands/eucerin)
Category: [Serums and treatments](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/best/serums)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with sensitive skin: redness, stinging, and reactions to new products. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

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

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate benefits for redness and irritation due to the presence of Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol (Thiamidol) in concentrations that offer skin brightening, but this ingredient is not specialized enough to address sensitivity and irritation effectively, posing risks of worsening these conditions.
- Highly suitable for normal skin due to the presence of Glycerin for humectant action and Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol Thiamidol for melanogenesis regulation.

## What the research says

- Treatment with the tyrosinase inhibitor Thiamidol significantly lightened suction blister-induced post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and improved acne-related post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation compared to vehicle control over 3 months. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33559186/))
- 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/))
- The 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, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten 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, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Eucerin Spotless Brightening Booster Serum for sensitive skin?

Lovi advises caution because this serum contains alcohol and is not specialized enough to calm sensitivity, which may worsen redness and irritation. A product for this skin needs soothing ingredients and calming components that reduce redness without causing irritation.

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

Alcohol Denat and Parfum make this serum a poor fit for sensitive skin because they may cause irritation and redness. Treatments that fit sensitive skin better need soothing ingredients, antioxidants, and hydrating components without potential irritants like fragrances or high amounts of alcohol.

### What does Water do for sensitive skin?

Using cool water for facial cleansing preserves skin barrier integrity and lowers skin surface pH in healthy adults. This helps keep skin calm and hydrated without causing the irritation associated with warmer water.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42722630/)

### What does Alcohol Denat do for sensitive skin?

Alcohol Denat is likely to dry out sensitive skin and may disrupt the skin barrier, especially over time. A product for sensitive skin needs soothing and moisturizing ingredients like niacinamide to keep the skin calm and smooth without harsh alcohols.
Sources: [Pharmaceutics, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40006563/), [Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18336981/)

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

This serum goes in the evening routine for sensitive skin, but because it is a poor match for this skin type, caution is advised. A product of this type needs calming and soothing ingredients that target redness and irritation gently without worsening sensitivity.

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

You should use caution when combining this serum with retinol on sensitive skin, as the ingredients may increase the likelihood of irritation. Apply the treatment before your moisturizer in your evening routine, but you may want to alternate nights with your retinol to keep your skin calm and comfortable.

### How often should I use this serum?

You should use this serum in your evening routine, applying it once a week at first and carefully working up if your skin tolerates it well. Sensitive skin needs a product with calming and soothing ingredients that help reduce redness and irritation instead of risking flare-ups.

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

This serum is unlikely to clog pores, but it may cause stinging or redness on sensitive skin because it contains alcohol and fragrance. A product for this skin needs gentle, calming ingredients like soothing plant extracts and hydration boosters instead of strong drying alcohols to keep skin soft and smooth.

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

It contains fragrance (parfum) and drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
