Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for dry skin as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide humectant action, but it lacks sufficient emollient ingredients for optimal hydration.
  • While Melaleuca Alternifolia Tree Leaf Extract is present in high concentrations to effectively reduce acne lesions and blemishes, the formula's general skincare benefits are mostly supportive and irrelevant for your dry or flaky skin due to a lack of specialized moisturizing ingredients.
  • The product is generally safe for your dry skin, though citric acid carries a slight risk of irritation.

How to apply

  • Apply this serum PM, starting 3×/week and working up to daily use as your skin adjusts.
  • Place the serum after cleansing and toner, but right before your moisturizer.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and let it absorb for a minute.
  • Apply the serum on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use.

People Say

★4.5Overall rating based on 200+ reviews

Users with oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin frequently praise this essence for its lightweight, watery texture that effectively soothes redness and inflammation without clogging pores. Some users with dry or dehydrated skin find it insufficient for hydration on its own, and a low number of reviews suggest it is more effective at calming existing irritation than preventing new breakouts.

Questions and answers

How well does Tea Tree Purifine 95 Essence work for dry skin?

This essence works moderately well for dry skin, because glycerin and sodium hyaluronate draw in moisture, but it lacks enough rich, smoothing ingredients to keep dry skin fully hydrated. Dry skin needs rich moisturizing ingredients and skin-softening oils to lock in hydration and support the skin barrier.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this essence a good fit for dry skin?

Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate make this essence a fit for dry skin by pulling in moisture, though it lacks enough smoothing ingredients to keep skin soft and comfortable. Treatments that fit dry skin better need a rich blend of nourishing, soothing, and sealing ingredients to lock in moisture and support the skin barrier.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What does Tea Tree Extract do for dry skin?

Tea tree extract is generally too harsh for dry skin because it tends to strip away necessary oils and may increase dryness, flaking, and irritation. Dry skin needs gentle, hydrating ingredients like ceramides, panthenol, and natural plant oils to lock in moisture and repair the skin barrier.

What does Glycerin do for dry skin?

Glycerin helps dry skin by drawing in moisture and keeping it locked in, which makes the skin feel much softer and smoother. It also supports your natural skin barrier to stop water from escaping easily. A product for dry skin needs extra ingredients like hyaluronic acid and soothing plant extracts to truly calm and hydrate dry patches.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008

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

This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before your moisturizer. It works for dry skin though other products fit it better, because dry skin needs rich, softening ingredients to lock in moisture and smooth out flakes.

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

You can use this essence in your evening routine after your cleanser and before your moisturizer, applying it even when using retinol because it has a generally safe profile. However, dry skin needs a product with richer, softening ingredients to lock in moisture and prevent flaking.

How often should I use this essence?

You can use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. It is an average fit for dry skin because while it provides some hydration, a product of this type needs richer softening ingredients to properly nourish dry skin.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

This essence is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on dry skin, as its tea tree extract helps keep blemishes under control. However, it may not give your skin enough moisture on its own, so dry skin types need a richer cream with heavy oils and butters to stay soft and smooth.

Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, 2007Clinical Pharmacology, 2018

Is this essence fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.

What the research says

  • A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women.

    Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

  • Topical 5% tea tree oil gel significantly improved total acne lesions and acne severity index compared to placebo in 60 patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris, showing 3.55 times and 5.75 times greater efficacy respectively.

    Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, 2007

  • A cream combining propolis, tea tree oil, and Aloe vera reduced erythema scars, acne severity index, and total lesion count better than erythromycin cream in sixty patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris compared to placebo.

    Clinical Pharmacology, 2018

  • The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.

    Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020

  • Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.

    International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001

  • Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.

    Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012

  • Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control.

    Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011

  • Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction.

    Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022

  • Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days.

    BMC Oral Health, 2019

  • A Hamamelis virginiana leaf extract increased LOXL1 expression twofold, decreased elafin synthesis, restored functional elastic fibers, reduced nonfunctional elastin aggregates, decreased wrinkles, and improved skin firmness.

    Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2018

  • Hamamelis bark proanthocyanidins strongly increased the proliferation of cultured human keratinocytes and reduced transepidermal water loss and erythema formation in SLS-irritated skin, whereas the polysaccharide fraction had no effect.

    Phytochemistry, 2001

  • Witch hazel bark extract and hamamelitannin showed pronounced anti-inflammatory activity, supported keratinocyte migration in a wound healing assay, and inhibited Staphylococcus aureus growth, whereas their skin microbiota metabolite ellagic acid stimulated inflammatory mediator release.
