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.

Works for sensitive skin; other moisturizers fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers excellent moisturizing for your normal skin due to sodium hyaluronate and polyglutamic acid, which hydrate and plump effectively, while squalane provides emollient action.
- While the formula provides general hydration and soothing benefits, it lacks specialized ingredients to target your specific concerns of redness and irritation.
- The product is safe for your sensitive skin, as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients that could cause irritation.

## What reviewers say

This moisturizer is widely praised for its ability to deliver deep, lasting hydration that leaves skin feeling plump, soft, and healthy, making it a favorite for those with dry, sensitive, or "tretinoin-stressed" skin.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Peter Thomas Roth Water Drench Rich Barrier Moisturizer work for sensitive skin?

This moisturizer works reasonably well for sensitive skin and is safe to use, but it lacks specialized ingredients to calm redness and irritation. A product of this type needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica, Cica Ceramide, and nourishing oils to truly excel for this skin type.
Sources: [International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39940752/), [Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25877441/)

### Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for sensitive skin?

Sodium hyaluronate, polyglutamic acid, and squalane make this cream work by drawing in moisture and keeping your skin soft and smooth. While it is safe and provides gentle hydration, this skin also needs specialized soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica, cica ceramide, and nourishing oils to properly calm redness and irritation.
Sources: [International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39940752/), [Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25877441/)

### What does Hyaluronic Acid do for sensitive skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps calm and hydrate sensitive skin while improving skin barrier strength and reducing dryness and redness. It is generally well-tolerated and may enhance overall skin comfort and texture.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29356277/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41037531/)

### What does Hydrafence do for sensitive skin?

Hydrafence helps calm sensitive skin by supporting the skin barrier and keeping it comfortable and hydrated. This type of product needs gentle barrier-repairing ingredients and soothing extracts to protect reactive skin from irritation.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34813665/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38214440/)

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

This cream goes as the final step in the evening routine for sensitive skin. To truly address redness and irritation, sensitive skin needs specialized soothing ingredients.

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

You can use this cream with retinol because it is safe for sensitive skin, and you should apply it after your retinol treatment to help lock in moisture. Using a barrier-supporting moisturizer alongside retinol helps reduce dryness and keeps skin comfortable.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing treatment daily in your evening routine to keep your skin soft and smooth. Daily application of moisturizers helps improve skin moisture and keeps the skin barrier comfortable.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/)

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

This cream is unlikely to cause breakouts for sensitive skin, as reviewers report negligible potential for clogged pores. To best care for sensitive skin, a moisturizer needs gentle, calming ingredients and barrier support without harsh additives.
Sources: [International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39940752/)

### Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?

This cream is safe to use around the eyes and on the body because it has a gentle makeup that avoids harsh irritants. However, because skin is very thin around the eyes and varies across the body, a moisturizing treatment of this type needs extra soothing and strengthening ingredients to best protect those areas.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
