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 moisturizers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing for your dry skin due to the presence of glycerin, which draws water into the skin and supports hydration, while lauric acid aids in gentle cleansing.
- This formula provides general skincare benefits that are supportive for dry or flaky skin, though it is not specialized for your specific concerns.
- The product is safe for your dry skin as it contains no prohibited or harsh ingredients that would cause irritation.

## 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/))
- 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.

## Questions and answers

### Why is ESTÉE LAUDER Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lift a weak match for dry skin?

This moisturizer offers only moderate hydration and general benefits rather than the specialized care your dry skin needs. A product for this skin needs rich, soothing moisturizing ingredients and skin barrier support with no risk of irritation to provide optimal hydration and nourishment.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This cream is a weak match for dry skin because it lacks specialized, highly effective moisturizing and nourishing ingredients that provide deep hydration and support the skin barrier, such as hyaluronic acid and rich emollients.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Water do for dry skin?

Drinking more water helps increase skin hydration and may reduce clinical signs of dryness and roughness, particularly for individuals with lower prior water consumption.
Sources: [Skin Research and Technology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29392767/)

### What does Glycerin do for dry skin?

Glycerin helps dry skin by drawing in moisture and keeping it locked in, which makes the skin feel much softer and smoother. It also supports your natural skin barrier to stop water from escaping easily. A product for dry skin needs extra ingredients like hyaluronic acid and soothing plant extracts to truly calm and hydrate dry patches.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/)

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

This cream goes in the morning and evening routine as a moisturizer, applied after your cleanser and hydrating toner or treatment, and before sunscreen in the day. Because this is a weak match for dry skin, a moisturizer of this type needs rich oils and heavy sealing ingredients to properly lock in hydration and keep your skin soft.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/)

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

You can use this moisturizer with retinol by applying the retinol first, letting it absorb, and then smoothing on your cream. This product is unlikely to irritate your dry skin, but because it only offers moderate hydration, dry skin often needs richer ingredients like ceramides and heavier oils to stay fully soft and smooth.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizer daily as part of your morning and evening routine, though it offers only moderate hydration for dry skin. Dry skin of this type needs richer moisturizers packed with intensive barrier-supporting ingredients and heavy oils to deeply soften and lock in moisture.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/)

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

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for dry skin as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients that trigger irritation. To properly care for dry skin, a product of this type needs richer, deeply nourishing ingredients that lock in moisture and soothe flaky areas.

### Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?

This cream is generally safe to use around the eyes and on the body because it contains no harsh ingredients that would cause irritation. However, because the skin around the eyes is exceptionally thin, products of this type used there need rich moisturizers and gentle, nourishing ingredients to properly care for that delicate area.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
