Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate treatment for rosacea due to sulphur helping reduce redness and inflammation, but it may worsen dryness for your dry skin due to the absence of humectant or emollient ingredients.
- Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice provides some soothing benefits for dry or flaky skin, but its overall effectiveness is limited for your specific concerns.
How to apply
- Apply this serum PM, starting 3×/week and working up to daily use as your skin adjusts.
- Place the serum after cleansing and toner, but right before your moisturizer.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
- Apply the serum on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture.
- Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use.
Questions and answers
What does Sulfur do for dry skin?
Sulfur helps calm and soothe dry skin by reducing irritation and dryness when used as part of your routine. Topical sulfur is unlikely to cause major issues and generally has very rare mild side effects.

What does Aloe Vera Leaf Juice do for dry skin?
Aloe Vera Leaf Juice helps increase water content in dry skin to keep it feeling soft and smooth. It works well to boost hydration without changing water loss through the skin.
Where does this treatment go in a skincare routine for dry skin?
This treatment goes in the evening routine after your cleanser and before your moisturizer. Because it may worsen dryness for your dry skin, a product of this type needs hydrating and softening ingredients to keep your skin comfortable.
Can I use this treatment with retinol, and in what order?
Using this treatment with retinol may easily dry out and irritate your skin because both ingredients are strong, so you should use them on alternate nights or separate them between your morning and evening routines. This type of product needs extra moisturizing and softening ingredients to keep dry skin comfortable.
How often should I use this treatment?
This treatment is a weak match for your dry skin and may worsen your dryness, so use it carefully in the evening as part of a routine that also includes a rich moisturizer. A product of this type needs soothing ingredients and heavy hydrators to keep dry skin comfortable while managing redness.
Can this treatment clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?
This treatment is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts, but it may worsen dryness for your dry skin because it lacks moisturizing and softening ingredients. A treatment for dry skin needs nourishing oils and soothing hydrators like ceramides and glycerin to keep your skin soft and smooth.
Is this treatment fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
