Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate exfoliation for your dry skin due to the presence of citric acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, and glycolic acid, which may cause dryness.
  • The inclusion of alcohol and multiple exfoliating acids makes this formula highly unsuitable for dry skin as they can strip moisture and exacerbate dryness.

How to apply

  • Use your exfoliating toner as part of your PM routine once a week to start. If your skin is happy, you can slowly use it more often.
  • Apply this exfoliating toner right after your cleanser and before your moisturizer. This keeps your skin care steps in the right order.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the exfoliating toner into your skin with your hands. Let it soak in for a minute before the next step.
  • Put the exfoliating toner on clean and dry skin to help it work best. Avoid rubbing so your face stays calm and happy.
  • Always do a patch test before your first use and avoid the sensitive eye area.

Questions and answers

Why does Lovi advise caution with Naturekind Zero Pore Pads for dry skin?

Lovi advises caution because the alcohol and multiple exfoliating acids in this toner can strip moisture and exacerbate dryness on dry skin. An exfoliating toner for dry skin needs effective hydrating ingredients, soothing extracts, and a gentle formula that provides moisture without irritation.

Which ingredients make this exfoliant a poor fit for dry skin?

Alcohol and multiple exfoliating acids like salicylic, glycolic, citric, and lactic acids make this toner a poor fit because they can strip moisture and worsen dryness. A suitable product for dry skin needs gentle, soothing extracts and plenty of hydrating ingredients to maintain moisture and prevent irritation.

What does Salicylic Acid do for dry skin?

Salicylic acid is generally not a good fit for dry skin, as it is meant to clear out pores and remove dead skin rather than hydrate. Because dry skin needs soothing and moisture rather than exfoliation, a product for dry skin needs nourishing ingredients like urea to lock in moisture and keep the skin soft.

What does Glycolic Acid do for dry skin?

Glycolic acid helps smooth and soften dry skin by speeding up the shedding of older surface cells. Because it can also cause the skin to lose more moisture, dry skin needs extra hydrating ingredients like glycerin or hyaluronic acid alongside it to keep the skin comfortable.

Acta Dermato-venereologica, 1995

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

This exfoliating toner is a poor match for dry skin because the alcohol and multiple exfoliating acids may strip away moisture and worsen dryness. When dry skin does use an exfoliating product, it needs soothing hydrators and nourishing ingredients to protect its moisture barrier.

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

You should not use this toner on dry skin because the alcohol and acids may strip moisture and worsen dryness. For dry skin, a product of this type needs soothing extracts and hydrating ingredients to keep the face soft and smooth.

How often should I use it?

You should use it just once a week because the alcohol and acids may strip moisture and exacerbate dryness. Dry skin needs gentle products with hydrating and nourishing ingredients instead of strong exfoliants.

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

This toner is unlikely to clog pores since it contains exfoliating acids that sweep away dead skin, but it may cause flaking or irritation on dry skin due to alcohol and multiple acids. To care for dry skin safely, an exfoliant of this type needs gentle hydrating ingredients and soothing plant extracts without drying alcohols.

Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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