Skincare routine for dry sensitive skin

Routine by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Cleansers and makeup removers with helianthus annuus seed oil, jojoba seed oil, and glycerin help ease flakiness and tightness, while soothing toners and masks with aloe vera leaf juice, licorice root extract, and panthenol help calm redness. Serums and moisturizers with niacinamide, ceramides, and hyaluronic acid help smooth fine lines and wrinkles while supporting the moisture barrier.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while the skin rests and is away from the sun. This weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week and adds deeper steps to help soothe dry sensitive skin and smooth fine lines.
