Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate hydration and texture smoothing for your normal skin, as sodium hyaluronate provides excellent moisturization and acetyl hexapeptide-8 helps to refine texture.
  • While beneficial for general skin health and barrier support with niacinamide and glycerin, the formula does not specifically target your redness and irritation.
  • The product is safe for your sensitive skin, featuring soothing ingredients and avoiding harsh components.

How to apply

  • Use this soothing AM and PM routine every day to keep your normal skin calm. Always remember to apply SPF in the morning after your moisturizer.
  • Apply your moisturizer after your toner in the morning, and after your serum in the evening. This step locks in hydration and protects your skin.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer evenly across your face. Avoid rubbing to keep your sensitive skin happy and calm.
  • You can apply this gentle formula on dry or slightly damp skin for the best comfort. It works wonderfully on clean skin to soothe redness and irritation.
  • Do a patch test before your very first use to check your skin's reaction. Avoid getting the product directly into your eyes .

Questions and answers

How well does rhode Peptide Glazing Fluid work for sensitive skin?

This moisturizing treatment works well enough for sensitive skin, though other products fit it better. It offers moderate hydration and smooths texture, but a product of this type needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica, cica ceramide, and nourishing oils that specifically target redness and irritation.

Annals of Dermatology, 2019American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2013

Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for sensitive skin?

This serum fits sensitive skin safely with soothing ingredients like niacinamide and glycerin, which help support the skin barrier while avoiding harsh components. However, to truly excel for sensitive skin, this type of product needs calming botanical extracts and nourishing oils that specifically target redness and irritation.

What does Argireline do for sensitive skin?

Argireline is unlikely to cause irritation and is sometimes found in products designed to calm reactive skin. Studies show it helps smooth the look of wrinkles and decrease skin roughness when used consistently.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2013Pharmaceuticals, 2021

What does Niacinamide do for sensitive skin?

Niacinamide helps calm sensitive skin by strengthening the skin barrier and reducing redness and irritation. It is very well tolerated and may improve overall comfort and resilience with regular use.

Cutis, 2005Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2004

Where does it go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

Apply this treatment in the evening routine, as this timing provides extra safety around sun exposure for sensitive skin. To better address redness and irritation, sensitive skin needs a product of this type featuring calming botanical extracts and anti-inflammatory ingredients.

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

You can use this moisturizing treatment with retinol by applying it before your retinol to help keep your skin comfortable and smooth. This type of routine works best for sensitive skin when it includes soothing ingredients like ceramides and centella asiatica to calm redness and support the skin barrier.

Cutis, 2006

How often should I use it?

You can use this moisturizing treatment in the evening as part of your weekly routine, or up to twice a day if your skin tolerates it well. Daily application helps improve skin moisture and texture over time.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021

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

This serum may cause breakouts for some people with sensitive skin, as reviewers moderately complain about this issue. To prevent clogged pores and breakouts, sensitive skin needs a lightweight, non-greasy formula with soothing and barrier-supporting ingredients that will not weigh the skin down.

Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?

This moisturizing treatment is safe for your sensitive skin and may be used around the eyes, though a product for this area needs extra soothing ingredients and targeted care for redness and irritation.

Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (benzyl alcohol).
