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

Brand: [Hanhoo](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/brands/hanhoo)
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 weak match for sensitive skin; the serums alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate pore decongestion due to sodium carboxymethylcellulose, but the presence of N-Dimethylformamide, Methylethylketone, and Toluene poses significant risks of worsening your current redness and irritation.
- While suitable for normal skin and offering some barrier repair benefits, these potentially harsh ingredients are not beneficial for your sensitive skin.

## Key ingredients

Non-Medicated Hydrocolloid, Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium Salt, Synthetic Rubber, Hydrocarbon Resin

## What the research says

- Concurrent application of SLS and toluene induced stronger skin reactions than single irritants in 20 volunteers, while a protective cream showed significant protective effects against SLS/SLS and SLS/toluene treatment combinations. ([Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12125960/))
- Using a tandem repeated irritation test in healthy volunteers, a potentiation of skin irritation was demonstrated for combinations of irritants including sodium lauryl sulfate with toluene, mechanical stress, or hot airflow, and a protective cream proved effective against SLS and toluene. ([Current Problems in Dermatology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17312361/))
- Daily application of hydrocolloid dressing completely prevented nasogastric tube-related pressure injuries, whereas skin care interventions showed no significant preventive effect compared to the control group in intensive care unit patients. ([Journal of Tissue Viability, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39289093/))
- Hydration of scars for 2 months resulted in significantly reduced itching, somewhat reduced pain, and increased pliability by 10% for both hydrocolloid dressing and moisturizer treatments in patients with keloids or hypertrophic scars, with no change in physical parameters. ([Dermatologic Surgery, 1996](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8874525/))
- Adjunctive hydrocolloid dressing with 0.1% mometasone furoate cream significantly increased treatment efficacy and cost-effectiveness compared to topical steroid alone in patients with moderate to severe lichen simplex chronicus. ([Skin Health and Disease, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37538322/))
- Biocellulose and carboxymethyl cellulose wound dressings significantly reduced healing times and wound areas compared to normal saline dressings in epidermolysis bullosa skin wounds. ([Journal of Wound Care, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31600103/))
- Cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel provided excellent correction of facial defects, high tolerance, and absence of side effects or migration issues in 84 healthy volunteers. ([Clinical Interventions in Aging, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21228896/))
- Polymeric bioadhesive microparticles composed of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and Soluplus and loaded with 18beta-glycyrrhetinic acid form an in situ hydrogel upon contact with wound exudate, enabling controlled drug release that stimulates keratinocyte growth. ([International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33862131/))

## What reviewers say

Users with oily and acne-prone skin frequently report that these patches effectively absorb excess oil and impurities, clearing pores and reducing blemishes without irritation. While most users experience smoother, less oily skin, some note inconsistent results regarding pore size reduction and that the patches may not work for every skin type.

- Liked: Effective oil absorption (mostly mentioned)
- Liked: Affordable price (often mentioned)
- Liked: Gentle on skin (often mentioned)
- Liked: Easy to use (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Inconsistent results (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Small patch size (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Plastic smell (rarely noted)
- Disliked: Specific wear time (rarely noted)

## How to apply

- Use your serum in the PM routine, starting 3 times a week before building up to daily use if your skin is happy.
- Apply the serum after cleansing and toning, but before putting on your moisturizer for the best results.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and wait a minute ⏱ for it to soak in.
- Since your skin is sensitive and easily irritated, apply the serum on completely dry skin to help keep it calm.
- Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid getting the serum too close to your eyes .

## Questions and answers

### Why is the Hanhoo T-Zone Pore Patch a weak match for sensitive skin?

This product is a weak match because, although it offers some pore decongestion, the presence of solvents like toluene may worsen your current redness and irritation. Treatments that fit sensitive skin better need soothing, hydrating ingredients and antioxidants that calm redness without any risk of irritation.
Sources: [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12125960/)

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

This patch is a poor fit for sensitive skin because it contains harsh solvents like N-Dimethylformamide, Methylethylketone, and Toluene, which may worsen your current redness and irritation. Treatments that fit sensitive skin better need soothing and hydrating ingredients like niacinamide and snail secretion filtrate to calm redness without any risk of irritation.
Sources: [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12125960/)

### What does Hydrocolloid do for sensitive skin?

Hydrocolloid patches help protect sensitive skin and calm active breakouts by absorbing excess fluid while creating a gentle barrier against irritation. They are generally well tolerated, though anyone with very reactive skin may want to monitor for any mild redness upon removal.
Sources: [Dermatologic Therapy, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33651470/)

### What does Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose do for sensitive skin?

Sodium carboxymethylcellulose helps build gentle hydrogel formulas that deliver active ingredients smoothly across the skin. This ingredient is unlikely to cause irritation and maintains a very safe profile for everyday use.
Sources: [Polymers, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30974683/), [International Journal of Nanomedicine, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28176951/)

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

This treatment patch may not be a good fit for sensitive skin because it contains harsh solvents that can worsen redness and irritation. Sensitive skin needs gentle pore-clearing options without strong chemicals.

### Can I use it with salicylic acid, and in what order?

This product is a weak match for your sensitive skin because certain harsh ingredients may worsen redness and irritation. To safely clear pores on sensitive skin, a treatment product needs gentle decongesting ingredients and a very safe profile without harsh solvents.
Sources: [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12125960/)

### How often should I use this patch?

This patch is a weak match for your sensitive skin, as ingredients like toluene may worsen your current redness and irritation. A product of this type needs soothing and barrier-repairing ingredients to gently clear pores without harming delicate skin.
Sources: [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12125960/)

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

This product is a weak match for your sensitive skin because ingredients like toluene and methylethylketone may worsen your redness and irritation. A product for this skin needs gentle, soothing ingredients that clear pores without harsh chemicals or solvents.
Sources: [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12125960/)

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
