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

Brand: [Alpha Skin Care](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/brands/alpha-skin-care)

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 poor match for mature skin; the products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation for normal skin due to glycolic acid, which aids in skin renewal for wrinkles and fine lines, while glycerin provides humectant action.
- The formula lacks sufficient emollient ingredients, which could lead to suboptimal hydration for your normal skin.

## 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/))
- Repeated short-contact 70% glycolic acid peels provided superior results in atrophic acne scars compared to daily low-strength glycolic acid cream or placebo in 58 women over 24 weeks. ([International Journal of Dermatology, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11095203/))
- Serial glycolic acid peels combined with a modified Kligman formula significantly reduced facial PIH severity in Indian patients compared to the modified Kligman formula alone. ([Dermatologic Surgery, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28114204/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))
- Wearing an N95 mask alone compared to using dimethicone cream or hydrocolloid dressing caused more adverse skin reactions among 73 military health care workers, with no significant differences in fit test failure rates between groups. ([Military Medicine, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38771104/))
- A dimethicone skin protectant lotion significantly decreased visual scoring and transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control and SLS-only treated sites in 12 healthy humans exposed to sodium lauryl sulfate. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11428946/))
- Treatment with a moisturizer containing dimethicone and glycerine increased epidermal thickness by 0.019 mm, improved barrier function by decreasing transepidermal water loss by 13%, decreased melanin intensity, and induced keratins 6 and 16 in fifteen women with moderately photoaged forearms. ([Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17137484/))
- Topical treatment with skin-identical lipids in a petrolatum-rich cream base showed no superiority over pure petrolatum in promoting normalization of barrier recovery and inflammation in detergent- and tape-stripped-perturbed human skin over 14 days. ([Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11243632/))
- Topically applied extra virgin olive oil and petrolatum both significantly improved skin barrier function and microtopographic features in 54 healthy adult volunteers, with petrolatum exerting stronger occlusive effects and extra virgin olive oil uniquely promoting epidermal renewal. ([Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40649050/))
- Repeated application of concentrated water-in-oil emulsions over four weeks caused no skin irritation, positively affected skin properties, and delivered almost 50% of the applied fluorescein sodium, with isopropyl myristate showing superior penetration performance compared to liquid paraffin in healthy volunteers. ([International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31525444/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Alpha Skin Care Renewal Body Lotion for mature skin?

This lotion offers only moderate exfoliation for dry skin and lacks enough softening ingredients to keep mature skin properly hydrated. Body scrubs for this skin type need to be very safe, deeply moisturizing, and rich in soothing softeners, peptides, and antioxidants to smooth fine lines without causing irritation.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this body lotion a poor fit for mature skin?

Glycolic acid provides moderate exfoliation that helps with wrinkles and fine lines, but the formula lacks enough softening and moisturizing ingredients to keep mature skin properly hydrated. A product for this skin needs a rich mix of gentle hydrators, peptides, and antioxidants to nourish and support optimal health.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Glycolic Acid do for mature skin?

Glycolic acid helps mature skin by boosting collagen production and speeding up skin renewal to make it look smoother and firmer. It helps reduce wrinkles and improves skin texture over time, though it may occasionally cause mild irritation.
Sources: [Dermatologic Surgery, 1998](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9793513/), [The Journal of Dermatology, 1998](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9563274/)

### What does Glycerin do for mature skin?

Glycerin helps keep mature skin feeling soft and smooth by drawing moisture into the outer layer and locking it in. This daily hydration boost supports the skin barrier, keeping dry areas comfortable and protected against irritation.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Where does this body lotion go in a skincare routine for mature skin?

This body scrub is a poor match for mature skin because it lacks enough softening and moisture-locking ingredients to keep this skin type hydrated. Mature skin needs rich moisturizing creams and nourishing oils to stay smooth and comfortable.

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

This product contains glycolic acid, which may cause irritation if you use it at the same time as retinol. A body product of this type needs rich smoothing and softening ingredients to keep mature skin comfortable when pairing active treatments.

### How often should I use this body lotion?

This product is a poor fit for mature skin and requires caution because the formula lacks sufficient softening ingredients to keep your skin hydrated. A product of this type needs rich softening ingredients and heavy moisturizing agents to properly care for mature skin. Start by using it just once a week, and only use it more often if your skin tolerates it well without dryness.

### Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?

This lotion is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on mature skin, though the Glycolic Acid Aha may cause some initial purging as it helps renew the skin. This type of product needs rich softening ingredients like plant oils or butters to keep mature skin properly hydrated and smooth.

### Is this body lotion fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
