The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for France.

Brand: [m-61](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/brands/m-61)
Category: [Cleansers](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/best/cleansers)

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.

A poor match for dry skin; the cleansers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation for your dry skin due to glycolic acid and phytic acid, which can help with flakiness but may also cause excessive dryness.
- While the cleansing action is excellent, the formula lacks sufficient humectants to counteract potential dryness for your dry skin type.

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with the M-61 Power Cleanse for dry skin?

Lovi advises caution because this cleanser may cause excessive dryness on dry skin while offering moderate exfoliation. A cleanser for dry skin needs deep hydration and barrier support through ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and niacinamide to keep the skin soft and protected.

### Which ingredients make this cleanser a poor fit for dry skin?

Glycolic acid and phytic acid make this cleanser a poor fit because they offer moderate exfoliation that may cause excessive dryness. A cleanser for dry skin needs plenty of hydrating and moisture-protecting ingredients like ceramides and sodium hyaluronate to keep the skin soft and healthy.

### What does Glycolic Acid do for dry skin?

Glycolic acid helps smooth and soften dry skin by speeding up the shedding of older surface cells. Because it can also cause the skin to lose more moisture, dry skin needs extra hydrating ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid alongside it to keep the skin comfortable.
Sources: [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 1995](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8651024/)

### What does Tea Tree Oil do for dry skin?

Tea tree oil is generally not a good fit for dry skin, as it tends to decrease oil levels and can sometimes cause irritation. Dry skin needs rich, nourishing ingredients and gentle hydrators like argan oil to lock in moisture and keep the skin soft and smooth.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34986500/)

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

This cleanser goes into both your morning and evening routine, followed by a hydrating toner and moisturizer to help keep dry skin comfortable. Because it contains exfoliating acids that may cause excessive dryness, a cleanser for dry skin needs extra hydrating ingredients like glycerin and soothing plant extracts to protect your moisture barrier.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/)

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

Using this cleanser with retinol is likely to cause excessive dryness because the formula lacks enough ingredients that pull moisture into dry skin. To help protect your skin, a cleanser for dry skin needs extra hydrating ingredients like glycerin and ceramides along with gentle cleansing agents.

### How often should I use this cleanser?

You should use this cleanser with caution on dry skin because it can cause excessive dryness. A cleanser for dry skin needs extra hydrating ingredients like glycerin and soothing plant extracts to keep the skin soft and comfortable.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/)

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

Glycolic acid may cause purging as it lifts dead skin, while the formula's lack of rich moisturizing ingredients means dry skin needs extra hydration to stay calm and smooth.

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

This cleanser is not a good match for the thin skin around the eyes, where skin is thinnest across the body and easily irritated. A product for this area needs gentle, hydrating ingredients that clean without stripping away essential moisture.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
