Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • This product offers moderate hydration for your normal skin, with C13-15 Alkane and Glycerin providing humectant and emollient benefits that support barrier resilience.
  • While Vitis Vinifera Seed Oil offers some nourishment, the formula's primary focus on general hydration does not directly address your concerns with wrinkles and fine lines.
  • The product is safe for your normal skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and has no risk of irritation.

How to apply

  • Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help smooth fine lines.
  • Apply this product after your toner and serum, but before your SPF in the morning. Follow your cleanser and toner steps to keep your skin balanced.
  • Gently press a small amount into your face and neck. Avoid rubbing the skin too harshly to prevent extra tension.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. Clean skin helps the product absorb much more evenly.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to stay safe.

People Say

Users consistently praise this product for its unique "velvet" texture that hydrates deeply without leaving a greasy residue, making it ideal for dry and combination skin types.

Questions and answers

How well does KORRES Velvet Skin Drink work for mature skin?

This product works moderately for mature skin by providing general hydration and nourishment, but it does not directly target wrinkles and fine lines. To better support mature skin, a product needs effective ingredients like peptides, niacinamide, snail mucin, or sodium hyaluronate that smooth lines, enhance skin health, and strengthen the barrier while staying gentle.

Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2014Postepy Dermatologii I Alergologii, 2022

What does Santorini Grape Extract do for mature skin?

Santorini grape extract helps mature skin look firmer and smoother while fighting off the daily stress that causes fine lines. It is packed with antioxidants that protect your skin and keep it feeling soft and balanced.

Where does this treatment go in a skincare routine for mature skin?

This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing, though it can also be used in the morning or twice a day. This product type works for mature skin, but since it provides only moderate hydration without targeting wrinkles, mature skin needs a product with potent antioxidants, firming peptides, and targeted anti-aging actives.

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

You can use this moisturizing treatment with retinol by applying it after your retinol product to help keep your skin comfortable and hydrated. This type of skin needs a treatment that pairs anti-aging ingredients like retinol with rich moisturizers and antioxidants to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

How often should I use this treatment?

You can use this moisturizing treatment daily in your evening routine. A product of this type for mature skin needs ingredients like antioxidants and peptides to smooth fine lines and keep the skin soft and firm.

Can this treatment clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?

This treatment is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for mature skin, as it has a low risk of causing breakouts according to reviewer feedback. However, a product for this skin needs targeted ingredients like retinol, peptides, or antioxidants that specifically smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

Can I use this treatment around the eyes or on my body?

This treatment is safe to use around the eyes and on the body because it lacks harsh ingredients and is unlikely to cause irritation. However, a product for mature skin needs targeted anti-aging ingredients like retinol, peptides, or vitamin C to effectively smooth fine lines and wrinkles in delicate areas.

Is this treatment fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It contains fragrance (parfum) and drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
