Works for dry sensitive skin; other products fit it better.
This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with dry sensitive skin: flakiness, tightness, redness, fine lines, and wrinkles. For scores and recommendations based on your full skin profile, including your 12D face scan results and any goals or preferences you have, please use the Lovi app.
Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate firming and tightening for your dry and sensitive skin, as Chondrus Crispus and Chlorella Vulgaris Extract enhance barrier resilience, while Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin provide essential hydration.
- The formula is generally safe for your dry or flaky skin and sensitivity, lacking harsh ingredients that could cause irritation.
- While it offers general skincare benefits and hydration, it lacks sufficient emollient ingredients for optimal moisture replenishment for your dry skin.
People Say
★3.5Overall rating based on 3.0k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, users frequently report that this serum helps improve skin texture, firmness, and hydration, particularly for concerns like loose skin, stretch marks, and cellulite. While many appreciate the lightweight, non-greasy feel and pleasant scent, results are often described as temporary, requiring consistent, long-term use to maintain the visible tightening and smoothing effects. This should definitely be taken into account.

Questions and answers
How well does MAËLYS RE-LURE work for dry sensitive skin?
This body serum works for your dry and sensitive skin, though other products fit it better because it lacks rich moisturizing ingredients that lock in hydration. While it provides basic moisture and helps firm the skin, dry skin types need formulas packed with multiple types of hyaluronic acid, pro vitamin B5, and nourishing plant oils to properly seal in moisture and repair the barrier.
Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for dry sensitive skin?
Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and aloe barbadensis leaf juice make this serum a good fit by providing essential hydration and soothing benefits for your dry and sensitive skin. While it offers moderate firmness, this type of skin needs rich moisturizing ingredients and skin-softening oils for optimal moisture replenishment.
What does Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid do for dry sensitive skin?
Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid helps keep dry sensitive skin hydrated and soft, while improving skin texture and comfort. Clinical studies show that regular use significantly boosts moisture levels and calms tightness with a very safe profile.
What does Aloe Vera Leaf Juice do for dry sensitive skin?
Aloe vera leaf juice helps keep dry skin hydrated and increases water content in the outer skin layer. It is unlikely to cause irritation and is well tolerated by sensitive skin, though a product for this skin type also needs soothing ingredients and barrier-repairing components like ceramides.
Skin Research and Technology, 2006Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2011
Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for dry sensitive skin?
This treatment serum goes in the evening step of your routine, after cleansing and toning and before moisturizing. While it provides helpful hydration and firming, dry skin of this type needs rich, nourishing hydrators and oils to keep moisture locked in.
Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this body serum with retinol, applying the serum first to clean skin and following with your retinol treatment once it absorbs. This helps keep skin hydrated, though dry skin generally needs extra rich, softening ingredients and heavy creams for deep moisture replenishment.
How often should I use this serum?
You can use this body serum daily to help hydrate and firm your skin. To achieve the best moisture replenishment for dry skin, this product needs to be paired with a richer moisturizing cream.
The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry sensitive skin?
This serum is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on dry sensitive skin because its formula lacks heavy oils and harsh ingredients that typically trigger irritation. It relies on lightweight hydrators like glycerin and hyaluronic acid to refresh the skin without leaving a heavy layer behind.
Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum and limonene).
What the research says
