The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Italy.

Brand: [Biossance](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/brands/biossance)
Category: [Eye care and eye patches](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/best/eye-creams)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with mature skin: fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for mature skin; the eye cares alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate plumping and firming for your normal skin due to Acetyl Tetrapeptide-5 and Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, which improve elasticity and reduce fine lines, but the formula is suboptimal for your primary concern of wrinkles and fine lines due to a lack of specialized ingredients.
- While dimethicone crosspolymer offers some occlusive benefits, it may lead to mild unsuitability for normal skin, and ingredients like caffeine and niacinamide provide general hydration and soothing effects.

## Questions and answers

### Why is Biossance Squalane + Peptide Eye Gel a weak match for mature skin?

This eye care is a weak match for mature skin because it lacks specialized ingredients to properly target deep wrinkles and fine lines. An eye care for this skin needs potent anti-aging ingredients like retinol and supportive humectants to smooth lines while maintaining deep hydration.
Sources: [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23417317/), [Annals of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33911590/)

### Which ingredients make this eye gel a poor fit for mature skin?

This eye gel is a weak match for mature skin because it lacks specialized ingredients for wrinkles and fine lines, and it needs potent anti-aging ingredients like retinol and supportive humectants to truly smooth and firm mature skin.

### What does Squalane do for mature skin?

Squalane helps keep mature skin feeling soft and smooth by boosting moisture and protecting the skin barrier. It also provides antioxidant support that helps improve the look of fine lines and wrinkles over time.
Sources: [Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40001122/), [Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21137794/)

### What does Niacinamide do for mature skin?

Niacinamide helps mature skin by smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles, reducing dark spots, and improving overall skin elasticity. It is also very well tolerated and supports a strong skin barrier to keep skin looking healthy.
Sources: [Antioxidants, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34439563/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2004](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17147561/)

### Where does this eye gel go in a skincare routine for mature skin?

This eye gel fits into your morning routine after your moisturizer and before sunscreen, and into your evening routine as a treatment step before your moisturizer. Mature skin needs specialized products containing potent anti-aging actives and rich nourishing ingredients to effectively target deep wrinkles and loss of firmness.

### Can I use this eye gel with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this eye gel with retinol by applying the eye gel first and following it with your retinol product once the area is dry. This eye gel helps hydrate and smooth the eye area, but mature skin targeting deeper wrinkles needs a rich cream loaded with heavy moisturizers and targeted anti-aging peptides.

### How often should I use this eye gel?

This eye gel is a weak match for mature skin because it lacks specialized ingredients for deep wrinkles and fine lines. To properly target mature skin, an eye product of this type needs rich hydrators like hyaluronic acid and targeted anti-aging peptides that boost firmness and smooth expression lines.

### Can this eye gel clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?

This eye gel is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for mature skin, though it may not provide enough rich moisture to fully smooth deep wrinkles. To properly care for mature skin, an eye product of this type needs heavier nourishing oils and targeted anti-aging ingredients to deeply soften lines.

### Is this eye gel fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
