Brand: [Vaseline](https://lovi.care/skincare/ie/brands/vaseline)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with sensitive skin: redness, stinging, and reactions to new products. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for sensitive skin; the products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers excellent moisturizing for your normal skin due to the presence of petrolatum and glycerin, which enhance barrier resilience and hydration.
- While it provides general skincare benefits, it lacks specialized ingredients to effectively target your redness and irritation.
- The formula is safe for your sensitive skin, as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients that could cause irritation.

## 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](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- 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](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Topical treatment with skin-identical lipids in a petrolatum-rich cream base showed no superiority over pure petrolatum in promoting normalization of barrier recovery and inflammation in detergent- and tape-stripped-perturbed human skin over 14 days. ([Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11243632/))
- Topically applied extra virgin olive oil and petrolatum both significantly improved skin barrier function and microtopographic features in 54 healthy adult volunteers, with petrolatum exerting stronger occlusive effects and extra virgin olive oil uniquely promoting epidermal renewal. ([Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40649050/))
- 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](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- 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](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))
- Topical application of 1,3-propanediol at various concentrations, alone or combined with butylene glycol and/or glycerol, increased skin hydration and reduced trans epidermal water loss in 30 healthy female subjects over an 8-hour period, with the 15% concentration and the addition of glycerol providing greater benefits. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37699769/))
- Wearing an N95 mask alone compared to using dimethicone cream or hydrocolloid dressing caused more adverse skin reactions among 73 military health care workers, with no significant differences in fit test failure rates between groups. ([Military Medicine, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38771104/))
- A dimethicone skin protectant lotion significantly decreased visual scoring and transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control and SLS-only treated sites in 12 healthy humans exposed to sodium lauryl sulfate. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11428946/))
- Treatment with a moisturizer containing dimethicone and glycerine increased epidermal thickness by 0.019 mm, improved barrier function by decreasing transepidermal water loss by 13%, decreased melanin intensity, and induced keratins 6 and 16 in fifteen women with moderately photoaged forearms. ([Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17137484/))
- Sodium dodecyl sulfate treatment disrupts the ordered intercellular lipid lamellar structure in hairless mouse stratum corneum, and immersion in a ceramide 3, cholesterol, and stearic acid mixture successfully reorganizes this ordered lamellar structure. ([Biophysical Chemistry, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11254216/))

## Why other products fit sensitive skin better

- A panthenol-enriched mask improved skin hydration, regulated sebum, and reduced redness and TEWL across dry sensitive, oily sensitive, and oily acne skin subgroups with excellent tolerance and no adverse reactions. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38366684/))
- Topical dexpanthenol acts as a moisturizer, improves stratum corneum hydration, accelerates wound healing and epidermal regeneration, reduces erythema, and improves symptoms of skin irritation compared to vehicle or no pretreatment. ([American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/))
- A dexpanthenol-containing cream accelerated skin barrier repair, increased stratum corneum hydration, reduced skin roughness, and decreased skin redness compared to vehicle and untreated controls in sodium lauryl sulphate-irritated skin. ([The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19753737/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is Vaseline Advanced Repair Lotion a weak match for sensitive skin?

This lotion is a weak match for sensitive skin because it lacks specialized ingredients to effectively target redness and irritation. A body lotion for sensitive skin needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica, cica ceramide, and nourishing oils to calm irritation while keeping skin soft.

### Which ingredients make this body lotion a poor fit for sensitive skin?

This body lotion is a weak match for sensitive skin because it lacks specialized soothing ingredients to calm redness and irritation. A body lotion for this skin needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica, cica ceramide, and nourishing oils.

### What does Petrolatum do for sensitive skin?

Petrolatum helps protect sensitive skin by locking in moisture and supporting barrier recovery with a very safe profile that is unlikely to cause irritation or allergies. It creates a protective seal on the surface that keeps irritants out while calming dry patches.
Sources: [The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26431582/), [Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37315800/)

### 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.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 1999](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10598752/)

### Where does this body lotion go in a skincare routine for sensitive skin?

This body lotion is a weak match for your sensitive skin because it lacks specialized ingredients to target redness and irritation. To fit this skin type, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients and calming agents that reduce irritation and redness.

### Can I use this body lotion with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this body lotion with retinol by applying the lotion after your retinol absorbs, which helps keep your skin soft and smooth while reducing potential dryness. This lotion is safe for sensitive skin, but a product of this type for sensitive skin needs soothing and calming ingredients to effectively target redness and irritation.

### How often should I use this body lotion?

You can use this body lotion daily to help keep dry skin soft and well-hydrated. Because this product is only a weak match for sensitive skin, a lotion for your skin also needs soothing ingredients to calm redness and irritation.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/)

### Can this body lotion clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for sensitive skin?

This body lotion is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on sensitive skin because its formula avoids harsh or prohibited ingredients that commonly trigger irritation. However, since it is a weak match for sensitive skin, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients like Centella asiatica or specialized calming agents to properly target redness and irritation while keeping skin soft.

### Is this body lotion fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
