Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate benefits for your normal skin, as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide excellent hydration and plumping effects, while licorice root extract and rosehip oil fruit offer soothing properties that can help with your redness and irritation.
  • The formulation provides general skincare benefits that support your skin's needs, though it lacks specialized ingredients to directly target and reduce inflammation.
  • The product is safe for your sensitive skin, containing no harsh or prohibited ingredients and including beneficial components like licorice root extract and rosehip oil fruit.

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 Derma E Vitamin C Intense Night Cream work for sensitive skin?

Derma E Vitamin C Intense Night Cream works moderately well for sensitive skin, as it provides good hydration and soothing care with ingredients like glycerin and licorice root extract while staying safe and free of harsh components. However, because it lacks specialized ingredients to directly reduce inflammation, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica, cica ceramide, and nourishing oils to enhance skin barrier function and better calm this skin type.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide great hydration, while licorice root extract and rosehip oil help calm redness and irritation. To fit sensitive skin even better, a cream of this type needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica and cica ceramide that strengthen the skin barrier without causing overload.

What does Vitamin C do for sensitive skin?

Vitamin C helps brighten skin, smooth out fine lines, and fade dark spots. Clinical studies show it is generally safe and well-tolerated when improving overall skin quality.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2023

What does Hyaluronic Acid do for sensitive skin?

Hyaluronic acid helps calm and hydrate sensitive skin while supporting the skin barrier to keep it soft and comfortable. Clinical studies show it improves surface moisture and reduces dryness, roughness, and redness without irritation.

Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2018

Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This cream goes in the evening routine as a treatment step after your toner and before your moisturizer. It is safe for sensitive skin, but since other products fit this skin better, sensitive skin types need a cream with extra calming ingredients and no active acids or strong retinoids.

Can I use this cream with niacinamide, and in what order?

You can use this cream alongside niacinamide by applying your niacinamide product first, letting it absorb completely, and then following with this treatment. This layering approach helps your skin stay calm and smooth while receiving the benefits of both ingredients.

How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing treatment in your evening routine. It is safe for sensitive skin, though a product for this skin needs specialized ingredients to actively calm redness and irritation.

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

This cream is unlikely to cause breakouts for sensitive skin, though some reviewers have reported minor issues. To prevent clogged pores, this skin type needs a moisturizing treatment with lightweight hydrating ingredients and soothing plant extracts.

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

You can use this moisturizing treatment around your eyes and on your body, but it is unlikely to target specific concerns in those areas. This skin type needs targeted ingredients like low molecular weight heparan sulfate or specialized botanical extracts to properly care for thin or body skin.

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019

Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol and cetearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
