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

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 toners alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for your dry skin, as glycerin and betaine provide some humectant action, but it lacks sufficient emollients or occlusives for optimal hydration.
- The inclusion of allantoin and centella asiatica extract offers mild soothing benefits, though specialized ingredients for dry or flaky skin are not present in effective concentrations.

## What the research says

## What reviewers say

Based on limited data, users generally praise the toner for its hydrating and gentle exfoliating properties, noting it leaves skin feeling refreshed, plump, and clarified without stripping moisture. While effective for refining texture and soothing stressed skin, some users find it too mild for heavy exfoliation or too expensive compared to similar alternatives.

- Liked: Hydrating and plumping (often mentioned)
- Liked: Clarifying and soothing (sometimes noted)
- Liked: Gentle exfoliation (sometimes noted)
- Liked: Pleasant texture (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: High price point (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Mixed reactions (rarely noted)
- Disliked: Too mild (rarely noted)

## How to apply

- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using your soothing toner 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply your soothing toner after cleansing, and before putting on your moisturizer or SPF.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the soothing toner into your skin with your hands. Let it absorb for a minute before adding your next product.
- Apply the soothing toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better. This works great for dry or flaky skin to lock in extra moisture.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area when applying the soothing toner. Do a quick patch test before your very first use to be safe.

## Questions and answers

### Why is Eve Lom Rescue Toner a weak match for dry skin?

Eve Lom Rescue Toner offers only moderate suitability for your dry skin because, while glycerin and betaine provide some moisture, it lacks enough heavy softening and sealing ingredients for optimal hydration. A soothing toner for dry skin needs rich moisturizing agents and soothing extracts that lock in hydration and comfort dry or flaky skin.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Molecules, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38611819/)

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

This toner is a weak match for dry skin because it lacks rich moisturizing ingredients and protective sealants to lock in deep hydration. A product of this type needs rich moisturizing ingredients, nourishing plant oils, and barrier-repairing elements to effectively comfort and hydrate dry skin.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/)

### What does Aloe Vera Leaf Juice do for dry skin?

Aloe Vera Leaf Juice helps increase water content in dry skin to keep it feeling soft and smooth. It works well to boost hydration without changing water loss through the skin.
Sources: [Skin Research and Technology, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17026654/)

### What does Witch Hazel do for dry skin?

Witch hazel may not be the best fit for dry skin because some forms can strip away natural moisture, so dry skin needs gentle, rich ingredients that deeply hydrate and restore the skin barrier.
Sources: [Phytochemistry, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11684194/), [International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36012541/)

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

This toner goes in the morning routine right after the cleanser and before the moisturizer, while dry skin needs a product that includes rich oils and butters to lock in deep moisture.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/)

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

You can use this toner before retinol, but dry skin needs a product that includes richer softening ingredients and heavy protectors to lock in moisture.

### How often should I use this toner?

This toner is a weak match for dry skin, as it lacks rich softening ingredients and heavy protectors to keep the skin fully moisturized. Dry skin needs a toner packed with heavy softening ingredients and moisture-locking barriers to stay smooth and comfortable.

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

This toner is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for dry skin. However, because it is a weak match for dry skin, a product of this type needs rich oils, butters, and ceramides to deeply soften and lock in moisture.

### Is this toner fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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