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

Brand: [Estée Lauder](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/brands/estee-lauder)
Category: [Serums and treatments](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/best/serums)

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

A weak match for dry skin; the serums alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate hydration for your dry skin due to high concentrations of glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, which attract moisture to the skin. However, it lacks sufficient emollient and occlusive ingredients to fully address dryness and flakiness.
- While the formula provides general skincare benefits like cleansing and soothing, it does not contain specialized ingredients like ceramides or fatty acids to significantly moisturize dry or flaky skin concerns.

## 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/))

([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33103316/))
- Topical nicotinamide prevented solar-simulated UV-induced immunosuppression in healthy volunteers, and men experienced immunosuppression at solar-simulated UV doses three times lower than those required for women.

- Topical 5% niacinamide applied twice daily for 12 weeks reduced fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmented spots, red blotchiness, and skin sallowness, and improved skin elasticity compared to vehicle control in 50 female white subjects with facial photoaging. ([Dermatologic Surgery, 2005](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16029679/))
- Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control.

- Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction.

## Questions and answers

### Why is Estée Lauder Nutritious Booster Drops a weak match for dry skin?

Estée Lauder Nutritious Booster Drops offers moderate hydration by attracting moisture, but it lacks sufficient sealing ingredients to fully address dryness and flakiness. A treatment for dry skin needs rich moisturizing ingredients like ceramides, fatty acids, and heavier sealing agents to deeply nourish and protect the skin barrier.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this treatment a poor fit for dry skin?

This treatment is a weak match for dry skin because it lacks richer softening and sealing ingredients like ceramides and fatty acids to fully lock in moisture and soothe flakiness.

### What does Niacinamide do for dry skin?

Niacinamide helps dry skin by strengthening the skin barrier, increasing hydration, and reducing water loss. It supports ceramide production and helps keep the surface smooth and calm. This ingredient tends to be very well tolerated and is unlikely to irritate dry skin.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2004](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17147561/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42108609/)

### What does Hyaluronic Acid do for dry skin?

Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into dry skin, giving an immediate and lasting boost in hydration that helps smooth out fine lines and soften rough patches. It is very gentle and unlikely to cause irritation while improving overall skin smoothness and plumpness.
Sources: [Dermatology and Therapy, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34176098/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/)

### Where does it go in a skincare routine for dry skin?

Apply this treatment in the evening routine before your moisturizer. Dry skin needs a product of this type to include rich moisturizing ingredients like ceramides and fatty acids to fully lock in hydration and prevent flakiness.

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

You can use this treatment alongside retinol by applying the treatment before your retinol product at night to help draw moisture into your skin. Because this product may not fully address dryness on its own, dry skin needs richer ingredients like ceramides and fatty acids to lock in hydration and prevent flakiness.

### How often should I use it?

You can use this treatment in your evening routine, applying it after cleansing and before moisturizing. Dry skin needs a product of this type to include rich moisturizing ingredients like ceramides or fatty acids to fully address dryness and flakiness.

### Can this treatment clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?

This treatment is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for dry skin. However, because it is a weak match for your skin, a product of this type needs richer ingredients like ceramides and fatty acids to fully soften dry spots.

### Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
