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

Brand: [Nassif MD](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/brands/nassif-md)
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.

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

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation for your dry skin due to the presence of glycolic acid and salicylic acid, which can lead to dryness and flakiness rather than providing the emollient and humectant actions needed.
- While Witch Hazel, Aloe Barbadensis, Chamomile Extract, and Camellia Sinensis Extract offer soothing benefits, the exfoliating acids are too potent for your dry skin type.

## What the research says

- Topical application of (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) to human skin before UV irradiation decreases UV-induced production of hydrogen peroxide by 68-90% and nitric oxide by 30-100%, inhibits leukocyte infiltration and lipid peroxidation by 41-84%, and restores glutathione levels and glutathione peroxidase activity compared to UV exposure alone. ([Carcinogenesis, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11181450/))
- Application of green tea extracts on normal human skin resulted in dose-dependent inhibition of UV-evoked erythema, reduced sunburn cells, protected Langerhans cells, and decreased UV-induced DNA damage compared to untreated UV-exposed skin. ([Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11209110/))
- Repeated short-contact 70% glycolic acid peels provided superior results in atrophic acne scars compared to daily low-strength glycolic acid cream or placebo in 58 women over 24 weeks. ([International Journal of Dermatology, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11095203/))
- Serial glycolic acid peels combined with a modified Kligman formula significantly reduced facial PIH severity in Indian patients compared to the modified Kligman formula alone. ([Dermatologic Surgery, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28114204/))
- 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. ([BioMed Research International, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33150170/))
- Treatment with 2% supramolecular salicylic acid hydrogel resulted in a regression and markedly improvement rate of 51.01% compared to 43.10% for Adapaline gel in patients with mild to moderate facial acne vulgaris, showing no significant difference in efficacy. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38590107/))
- 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/))

## 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

### Why does Lovi advise against Nassif MD Detox Pads for dry skin?

Lovi advises against this product because its exfoliating acids are too potent for your dry skin, which can lead to dryness and flakiness rather than providing the hydration and barrier support needed.

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

Glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and lactic acid make this exfoliant a poor fit because they can cause dryness and flakiness instead of providing the moisture and hydration dry skin needs. An exfoliant for dry skin needs soothing, highly hydrating ingredients like propolis, niacinamide, ceramides, and vitamin C that support the skin barrier without causing irritation.

### What does Glycolic Acid do for dry skin?

Glycolic acid helps smooth and soften dry skin by speeding up the shedding of older surface cells. Because it can also cause the skin to lose more moisture, dry skin needs extra hydrating ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid alongside it to keep the skin comfortable.
Sources: [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 1995](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8651024/)

### What does Salicylic Acid do for dry skin?

Salicylic acid is generally not a good fit for dry skin, as it is meant to clear out pores and remove dead skin rather than hydrate. Because dry skin needs soothing and moisture rather than exfoliation, a product for dry skin needs nourishing ingredients like urea to lock in moisture and keep the skin soft.

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

This exfoliant is a poor match for your dry skin because glycolic acid and salicylic acid can lead to dryness and flakiness. Instead, dry skin needs products that provide softening and moisture-attracting benefits.

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

You should not use this exfoliant on your dry skin because the acids are too strong and may lead to dryness and flakiness. A product of this type needs softening and moisture-attracting ingredients to properly care for dry skin.

### How often should I use it?

It is best to avoid using this on dry skin because the exfoliating acids are too strong and may cause dryness and flakiness. Dry skin needs products that provide soothing hydration and moisture instead.

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

This exfoliant is unlikely to clog pores, but its strong acids may cause dryness and flakiness on dry skin instead of providing the softening and moisture-locking actions needed.

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
