Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing for your normal skin due to the presence of glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which hydrate and plump the skin effectively.
- Capryloyl salicylic acid provides mild exfoliation to support your goal of addressing wrinkles and fine lines.
- The product is safe for your normal skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help smooth fine lines.
- Apply this product after your toner and serum, but before your SPF in the morning. Follow your cleanser and toner steps to keep your skin balanced.
- Gently press a small amount into your face and neck. Avoid rubbing the skin too harshly to prevent extra tension.
- Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. Clean skin helps the product absorb much more evenly.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to stay safe.

Questions and answers
How well does Lancôme Rénergie work for mature skin?
Lancome Renergie works moderately well for mature skin, providing basic hydration and mild smoothing from glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and capryloyl salicylic acid. It is safe and non-irritating, but mature skin does better with products that include niacinamide and peptides to deeply support skin barrier function and overall vitality.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2008
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for mature skin?
Glycerin and hyaluronic acid make this cream a good fit by hydrating and plumping mature skin, while capryloyl salicylic acid provides mild exfoliation that helps address fine lines and wrinkles. To fit this skin even better, a product of this type needs extra ingredients like niacinamide and peptides to support the skin barrier and overall vitality.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2008
What does Glycerin do for mature skin?
Glycerin helps keep mature skin feeling soft and smooth by drawing moisture into the outer layer and locking it in. This daily hydration boost supports the skin barrier, keeping dry areas comfortable and protected against irritation.
The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
What does Dimethicone do for mature skin?
Dimethicone helps keep mature skin feeling soft and smooth while protecting the skin barrier. When used regularly, it may improve skin firmness and keep the surface hydrated throughout the day.
Dermatologic Therapy, 2012Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2007
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
This moisturizing treatment goes after your cleanser and hydrating toner in the morning, and after your cleansing toner in the evening. Because mature skin benefits from extra nourishment to stay soft and smooth, this skin type needs a richer moisturizer with powerful hydrating ingredients and firming peptides.
Can I use this cream 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 moisturizer to help keep your skin comfortable. This type of routine helps support mature skin when the moisturizer includes barrier-protecting ingredients and rich hydrators like glycerin and hyaluronic acid.
Cutis, 2006Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizing treatment twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine. Regular daily application helps improve skin hydration, smoothness, and the appearance of fine lines while keeping your skin calm.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?
This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for mature skin, as it is safe with no harsh ingredients. However, because it offers only moderate moisturizing, mature skin often needs richer products with nourishing oils and heavier butters to truly stay soft and plump.
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
This cream is generally safe to use on the body and around the eyes, but mature skin in these delicate areas often needs richer nourishing ingredients and deeper hydration to effectively target fine lines.
Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002Journal of Biomedical Research, 2017
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
What the research says
