Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate exfoliation for your normal skin due to citric acid, which provides mild chemical exfoliation, and glycerin, which offers humectant action, though it may not deliver optimal results for redness and irritation.
  • The absence of harsh ingredients ensures no risks of irritation for your sensitive skin.

How to apply

  • Use your exfoliant PM once a week to help with redness and irritation. Start slowly and only increase frequency if your skin feels happy and comfortable.
  • Apply the exfoliant after cleansing and toner , but always before your moisturizer . This ensures the product absorbs properly into the skin.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the exfoliant into your skin without rubbing . Let it absorb for a minute before moving on.
  • Since your skin is sensitive , apply the exfoliant on completely dry skin for the best tolerance. This helps prevent any extra stinging or discomfort.
  • Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid the delicate eye area .

People Say

★4.6Overall rating based on 1.3k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, users with mature or textured skin frequently praise the product for its dual-action cleansing and exfoliating capabilities, often noting immediate improvements in smoothness and glow. While the majority appreciate the convenience and rich lather, some long-time users criticize a recent design change for being less effective, and a minority of users with sensitive skin report harsh irritation or peeling.

Questions and answers

How well does RoC Daily Resurfacing Disks work for sensitive skin?

This exfoliant works moderately well for your sensitive skin because it provides mild chemical exfoliation along with hydration, though it may not deliver optimal results for redness and irritation. An exfoliant of this type needs soothing ingredients like niacinamide or snail secretion filtrate and potent antioxidants to properly calm sensitive skin and reduce redness.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

Citric acid helps provide mild exfoliation and glycerin helps keep skin hydrated. To fit sensitive skin even better, an exfoliant of this type needs soothing antioxidants, calming ingredients to reduce redness, and no risk of irritation.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What does Glycerin do for sensitive skin?

Glycerin helps keep sensitive skin soft and deeply hydrated while supporting the skin barrier. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may protect against dryness and roughness.

The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008Acta Dermato-venereologica, 1999

What does Cocamidopropyl Betaine do for sensitive skin?

Cocamidopropyl Betaine helps cleanse the skin, but it may cause irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive skin because of impurities like amidoamine. Sensitive skin needs cleansers with very well-tolerated ingredients like sodium cocoyl glutamate that do not trigger redness or rashes.

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

This exfoliant treatment fits in the evening routine once a week to start. Because it provides only moderate exfoliation and may not deliver optimal results for redness and irritation, sensitive skin needs a gentle exfoliating product with soothing ingredients like glycerin and mild acids.

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

You can use this exfoliant in your evening routine, but use it on nights when you do not apply retinol to keep your skin calm. Using strong acids and retinols together increases the likelihood of redness and irritation.

How often should I use this exfoliant?

Start by using this exfoliant treatment once a week in the evening, and if your skin feels comfortable and shows good results, you may carefully use it more often. An average fit for sensitive skin needs a product with gentle exfoliants and calming ingredients to keep redness and irritation at bay.

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

This exfoliant is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for your sensitive skin, as it contains gentle cleansers and no heavy oils. However, because it includes mild chemical exfoliation from citric acid, a product of this type for sensitive skin needs calming ingredients and extra moisture to keep skin soft and smooth without redness.

Is this exfoliant 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

  • 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

  • The cytotoxic effect of sodium lauryl sulphate on normal human keratinocytes was significantly decreased when combined with cocamidopropyl betaine, Tween 20, and Tween 80 at concentrations well below the critical micelle concentration.
