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.

Works for dry skin; other moisturizers fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate hydration for your dry skin, as glycerin and panthenol provide humectant action to attract and retain moisture, though it lacks sufficient emollient and occlusive ingredients for optimal dryness relief.
- The inclusion of allantoin and bisabolol offers soothing benefits, which are supportive for general skin comfort.
- The product is safe for your dry skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturiser work for dry skin?

This moisturizer provides moderate hydration for your dry skin, though other products fit it better because it lacks rich softening and sealing ingredients to lock in moisture. To properly care for dry skin, a product of this type needs rich emollients and heavy sealing ingredients that deeply nourish and support the skin barrier.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/)

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

Glycerin and panthenol help provide moderate hydration by drawing moisture into dry skin, while allantoin and bisabolol offer soothing comfort. To achieve an optimal fit for dry skin, this type of product also needs rich emollients and occlusive ingredients that lock in moisture and fully support the skin barrier.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/)

### What does Glycerin do for dry skin?

Glycerin helps dry skin by drawing in moisture and keeping it locked in, which makes the skin feel much softer and smoother. It also supports your natural skin barrier to stop water from escaping easily. A product for dry skin needs extra ingredients like hyaluronic acid and soothing plant extracts to truly calm and hydrate dry patches.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/)

### What does Panthenol do for dry skin?

Panthenol helps dry skin by boosting hydration, reducing roughness, and supporting the skin barrier so it stays soft and smooth. It may also calm redness and ease irritation with a very safe profile.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/), [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/)

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

This moisturizer goes in the morning and evening routine after cleansing, or after your hydrating toner and treatment. Using a moisturizer daily significantly improves visual dryness and clinical scores in dry skin. To best care for dry skin, this product needs richer smoothing ingredients and heavy protective oils that lock in deep moisture.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/), [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/)

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

You can use this cream with retinol, and you should apply your retinol first followed by this moisturizer. Using a moisturizer helps keep your dry skin comfortable while retinoids work, though a product of this type for dry skin needs richer ingredients that seal in moisture and soften dry patches.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use it?

You can use this moisturizer daily in both your morning and evening routines, as it is safe for your dry skin. However, because it provides only moderate hydration, dry skin ultimately needs products rich in heavy smoothing oils and protective sealants to fully lock in moisture.
Sources: [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/), [Dermatology, 2003](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14571069/)

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

This cream is unlikely to cause breakouts on dry skin, as it has a safe profile with soothing ingredients and low complaints of reactions. A product for this skin type needs rich oils and butters to deeply soften dry patches and lock in lasting moisture.

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

You can use this moisturizer around your eyes and on your body, as its gentle and safe formula is well tolerated by thinner skin areas like the eyelids. However, because skin thickness varies across the body, drier areas may need richer ingredients that lock in moisture and soften the skin more effectively.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/), [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/)

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Stearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
