Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Suitable for normal skin due to the humectant action of glycerin and xylitol, which draw water into the skin, but it offers limited benefits for your redness and irritation as it lacks specialized ingredients for these concerns.
  • The presence of laminaria ochroleuca extract provides moderate hydration for the delicate eye area, which is a general skincare benefit.
  • The product is safe for your sensitive skin as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients.

Questions and answers

How well does Bioderma Sensibio Eye+ work for sensitive skin?

Bioderma Sensibio Eye+ works moderately well for sensitive skin because it is safe and provides basic hydration, but it lacks specialized ingredients to actively calm redness and irritation. An eye care product for sensitive skin needs soothing ingredients like Centella asiatica or bisabolol and targeted agents to properly calm irritation and reduce redness.

Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

Glycerin and xylitol make this cream a good fit by drawing water into the skin, while laminaria ochroleuca extract provides moderate hydration for the delicate eye area. However, this product needs specialized soothing ingredients to properly calm redness and irritation on sensitive skin.

Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What does Glycerin do for sensitive skin?

Glycerin helps keep sensitive skin soft and deeply hydrated while supporting the skin barrier. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may protect against dryness and roughness.

The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008Acta Dermato-venereologica, 1999

What does Caffeine do for sensitive skin?

Caffeine is unlikely to irritate sensitive skin and helps calm redness by boosting microcirculation and providing antioxidant protection against UV damage. It is generally well tolerated, though sensitive skin types looking for this benefit need formulas with soothing ingredients and without harsh fragrances.

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

This eye care product is safe to use for your sensitive skin, though it offers limited benefits for redness and irritation. To better care for sensitive skin, an eye product needs soothing ingredients that actively calm redness and irritation.

Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this eye care product with retinol, applying it before your retinol step to help keep the delicate eye area soft and hydrated. Sensitive skin of this type needs a product that includes soothing ingredients to calm redness and irritation alongside gentle hydrators.

How often should I use this cream?

This eye cream is safe for your sensitive skin and can be used daily to draw water into the skin. However, because it lacks specialized ingredients to calm redness and irritation, your sensitive skin needs products with soothing ingredients like licorice root extract or calming plant extracts for better care.

Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

This eye care is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for sensitive skin because it contains no heavy or pore-clogging ingredients. However, it offers limited benefits for redness and irritation, so sensitive skin needs formulas with soothing botanical extracts and calming agents to properly target those concerns.

Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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

What the research says

  • A formulation containing glycerol (5%) and xylitol (5%) applied twice daily for 14 days increased skin hydration, filaggrin protein quantity, interdigitation index, and biomechanical properties, and decreased transepidermal water loss compared to untreated and vehicle-treated skin in twelve volunteers with dry skin.

    Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017
  • 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
  • The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.

    Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020
  • Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.

    International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001
  • Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.

    Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012
  • A topical cosmetic slimming product containing tetrahydroxypropyl ethylenediamine, caffeine, carnitine, forskolin and retinol significantly reduced body circumferences and improved skin aspect compared with placebo in 78 women over 12 weeks.

    International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2011
  • Topical sunscreen formulations containing caffeine combined with UV filters increased in vivo anti-UVB protection by approximately 25% and showed higher SPF values compared to caffeine-free sunscreen, while being well tolerated by the skin of healthy subjects.

    Frontiers in Physiology, 2019
  • Caffeine gel combined with choline geranate showed high skin permeation capacity and superior clinical results in cellulite treatment compared to caffeine gel without ionic liquid.

    AAPS PharmSciTech, 2021
  • 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
  • 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
  • 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.
