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 weak match for dry sensitive skin; the nourishing masks alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate skin brightening for your dry and sensitive skin due to 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Glucosyl Hesperidin, which enhance skin tone, while Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate provide general hydration benefits.
- The formula offers moderate suitability for dry skin with humectant action from glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, but it lacks sufficient emollient ingredients for optimal hydration and specialized ingredients to effectively address sensitivity.

## 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/))
- Topical application of 5% vitamin C cream significantly improved global clinical scores, increased skin microrelief density, and induced elastic tissue repair in photoaged skin compared to excipient control in healthy female volunteers. ([Experimental Dermatology, 2003](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12823436/))
- Ascorbic acid 2-glucoside gel significantly reduced gingival melanin pigmentation after 4 weeks compared to placebo in 73 subjects with symmetric pigmentation. ([Journal of Periodontology, 2009](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19186973/))
- Topical application of VC-IP cream twice daily for 8 weeks reduces periorbital wrinkles in female subjects compared to a placebo cream. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34910367/))
- An optimized quercetin and hesperidin 8:1 complex restored antioxidant enzyme activities, suppressed inflammatory cytokine production, and reduced allergic response marker levels more effectively than alpha-glucosylrutin in in vitro and ex vivo models of sun-induced skin damage. ([Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40729036/))
- Hesperidin, hesperetin, rutinose, and rhamnose reduced MMP-1 and MMP-2 levels, while rutinose and rhamnose also inhibited elastase, hyaluronidase, and collagenase and increased collagen I production in young and physiologically aged normal human dermal fibroblasts. ([Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36838716/))
- Hesperidin protects human HaCaT keratinocytes against PM2.5-induced damage by reducing intracellular reactive oxygen species generation, autophagy, and apoptosis, and restoring cell viability via Akt activation compared to PM2.5 exposure alone. ([Antioxidants, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35883854/))
- Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/))
- Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction.

([BMC Oral Health, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31311529/))
- Combining 755 nm alexandrite laser with topical licorice gel significantly reduces terminal hair counts compared to alexandrite laser with placebo in women with idiopathic hirsutism. ([Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26273313/))
- Licochalcone A activated Nrf2 signaling, elevated cytoprotective enzymes, increased the reduced-to-oxidized glutathione ratio, and decreased reactive oxygen species in human fibroblasts and neutrophils, while a LicA-rich licorice extract lowered UVA-induced oxidative processes in vivo. ([Experimental Dermatology, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25381913/))
- Bioactive glycyrrhizic acid and oxymatrine ionic liquid self-assembled nanomicelles significantly promoted the transdermal permeation, subcutaneous retention, and anti-photoaging efficacy of palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 in cellular and animal models compared to unformulated peptide. ([Advanced Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39783908/))

- Topical chloramphenicol-betamethasone combined with sodium hyaluronate/trehalose/carbomer gel compared to chloramphenicol-betamethasone alone reduced most subjective symptoms at 1 week but increased blurred vision at 4 weeks following strabismus surgery in 31 patients, with no significant differences in conjunctival inflammation between treatments. ([Journal of Ocular Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31298607/))
- Topical treatment with Thealoz Duo significantly improved dry eye disease symptoms, tear break-up time, and restored tear lipid layer functionality by reducing inflammatory response proteins in moderate to severe dry eye patients over 56 days. ([Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40807147/))

## Why other nourishing masks fit dry sensitive skin better

([Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/))

## What reviewers say

Users frequently report an immediate brightening effect and intense hydration, leading to a glowing and revitalized complexion.
