Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate benefits for your normal skin, with C13-15 Alkane and Glycerin providing excellent moisturization and smoothing, though it does not specifically target your redness and irritation concerns.
  • Vitis Vinifera Fruit Extract and Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate offer antioxidant support and aid barrier repair, which is beneficial for your skin type.
  • The product is generally safe for your sensitive skin, with a low risk of irritation from alcohol denat and lactic acid.

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 KORRES Velvet Skin Drink work for sensitive skin?

KORRES Velvet Skin Drink works moderately well for sensitive skin, offering good moisture and smoothness while helping protect your skin with antioxidants. However, it does not specifically target redness and irritation, so a moisturizing treatment for this skin needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica and cica ceramide to calm redness while hydrating.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

Glycerin, grape extract, and resveratrol make this treatment a good fit by helping keep your skin soft and calm. However, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients that target redness and irritation, along with nourishing oils and fermented extracts to truly suit sensitive skin.

European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2017

What does Resveratrol do for sensitive skin?

Resveratrol helps calm sensitive skin by reducing inflammation and protecting against irritation. It is unlikely to cause issues and supports overall skin health with a very safe profile.

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

This treatment goes in the evening routine after your toner and before your moisturizer. Sensitive skin also needs calming ingredients like soothing botanical extracts and barrier-repairing antioxidants to help reduce redness and irritation.

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

You can use this treatment alongside retinol by applying the retinol first, letting it absorb, and then following with this product. This helps keep your skin soft while managing potential dryness, though sensitive skin requires a product that also specifically targets redness and irritation.

How often should I use it?

You can use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. It is generally safe for your skin, though sensitive skin needs products that specifically calm redness and irritation.

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

This treatment has a low risk of causing breakouts for sensitive skin. It is generally safe and unlikely to cause irritation, though it does not specifically target redness.

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

You can use this moisturizing treatment around your eyes and on your body, as its safe formula is generally well-tolerated by sensitive skin. To truly fit sensitive skin with redness and irritation, a product of this type needs calming ingredients and antioxidants that specifically target and soothe those concerns.

Is this treatment fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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