Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate brightening and evening of skin tone for your normal skin, as azelaic acid and licorice root extract target hyperpigmentation while salicylic acid and azelaic acid provide keratolytic action and melanogenesis regulation.
- Glycerin and dimethicone offer hydration and soothing benefits, which are supportive but not directly addressing your primary concern of wrinkles and fine lines.
- The product is safe for your normal skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing agents like licorice root extract and tocopherol.
How to apply
- Use this serum in your PM routine. Start by applying it 3 times a week, and work up to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply this serum after your toner and before your moisturizer.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
- You can apply the serum on dry skin for the best results against fine lines.
- Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid the sensitive eye area.

Questions and answers
How well does Pigmentbio Sensitive Areas work for mature skin?
Bioderma Pigmentbio Sensitive Areas works moderately well for mature skin by evening out skin tone and providing hydration and soothing benefits, though it is not primarily targeted at wrinkles and fine lines. To better fit mature skin, a product of this type needs high-quality anti-aging ingredients, potent antioxidants, and skin-repairing components that effectively target wrinkles and fine lines.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for mature skin?
Glycerin and dimethicone provide hydration and soothing benefits, but this treatment is an average fit for mature skin because it does not directly target wrinkles and fine lines. A product of this type needs potent antioxidants, hydrating components, and skin-repairing ingredients to properly care for mature skin.
What does Azelaic Acid do for mature skin?
Azelaic acid helps mature skin by targeting dark spots and uneven tone, while supporting smoother texture and a more youthful look. It provides antioxidant benefits that may reduce signs of aging and protect skin from environmental stress.
Frontiers in Medicine, 2026Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022
What does Licorice Root Extract do for mature skin?
Licorice Root Extract helps calm mature skin and may reduce dark spots and redness. It contains antioxidants that protect skin from daily stress and support a more even, bright, and smooth look.
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and toning, and before moisturizing. Because this is an average fit for mature skin, a product of this type needs firming ingredients and antioxidants like peptides and vitamins to properly target wrinkles and fine lines.
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this treatment with retinol by applying retinol first and this cream after, but mature skin needs products with powerful peptides and antioxidants to target wrinkles and firmness.
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. Products of this type for mature skin need ingredients that help smooth fine lines and boost firmness, such as retinoids or peptides.
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
This treatment is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on mature skin, as it has a safe profile with no harsh ingredients. However, because it is an average fit for this skin type, mature skin typically needs products with rich hydrators and firming ingredients to properly target wrinkles and fine lines.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
