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

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

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation for your dry skin due to the presence of phytic acid and saccharum officinarum extract, which aid in skin renewal but may not provide sufficient hydration.
- Glycerin and sorbitol offer humectant action, but the formula lacks sufficient emollient ingredients for optimal hydration for your dry skin.

## What the research says

- Combining 755 nm alexandrite laser with topical licorice gel significantly reduces terminal hair counts compared to alexandrite laser with placebo in women with idiopathic hirsutism. ([Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26273313/))
- Licochalcone A activated Nrf2 signaling, elevated cytoprotective enzymes, increased the reduced-to-oxidized glutathione ratio, and decreased reactive oxygen species in human fibroblasts and neutrophils, while a LicA-rich licorice extract lowered UVA-induced oxidative processes in vivo. ([Experimental Dermatology, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25381913/))
- Bioactive glycyrrhizic acid and oxymatrine ionic liquid self-assembled nanomicelles significantly promoted the transdermal permeation, subcutaneous retention, and anti-photoaging efficacy of palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 in cellular and animal models compared to unformulated peptide. ([Advanced Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39783908/))
- L-ascorbic acid 10% plus phytic acid 2% serum significantly reduced the pigmentation index of solar lentigines compared to a vehicle control in 30 healthy subjects. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22151934/))
- Chemical peels using 35% glycolic acid, 20% salicylic-10% mandelic acid, and phytic acid reduce acne scores by 70.55%, 74.14%, and 69.7% respectively, and significantly decline the postacne hyperpigmentation index in Asian patients with mild to moderate acne. ([Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31619887/))
- A topical facial emulsion containing 10% glycolic acid, 2% phytic acid, and a soothing complex significantly improved skin hyperpigmentation, texture, and tone homogeneity from week 4 through week 12 in American female volunteers with Fitzpatrick skin types II-VI. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33458927/))
- A non-hydroquinone topical formulation (SKNB19) improved hyperpigmentation by 28.5% in patient self-assessment and 27% in independent reviewer assessment compared with 4% hydroquinone in 18 adult subjects, while showing significantly less irritation and better tolerability. ([Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33022197/))
- Encapsulation of alpha arbutin in an optimized ethosomal gel significantly improved skin melanin reduction, moisture content, and elasticity in human volunteers compared to conventional formulations. ([Heliyon, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37681127/))
- Combining a home-based radiofrequency device and arbutin cream reduced mMASI scores by 25.6% and melanin index by 22.8% at 8 weeks compared to baseline in 38 participants. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39918262/))

## How to apply

- Use this exfoliant as part of your PM routine once a week, increasing slowly to twice a week if your dry skin tolerates it well. Always remember to apply SPF every morning to protect your newly smoothed skin.
- Apply the exfoliant after cleansing and toning, but always before your rich moisturizer.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the exfoliant into your skin and let it absorb for a minute. Avoid rubbing to prevent any irritation on flaky areas.
- Apply the product directly to dry clean skin to ensure the best possible tolerance for your dry type. This helps address flaky patches without causing extra stress.
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a quick patch test before your very first use. Do not mix this with other strong acids or retinoids on the same night.

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Glymed+ Daily Skin Clarifier for dry skin?

This exfoliant treatment may not provide sufficient hydration for your dry skin. While it offers moderate renewal, dry skin needs products with rich soothing ingredients, ceramides, and peptides that deliver significant moisture and support the skin barrier without irritation.

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

Phytic acid and saccharum officinarum extract offer moderate renewal but lack sufficient hydration for your dry skin. Glycerin and sorbitol offer some moisture, but this product needs rich ingredients like ceramides, niacinamide, and extra softening agents to keep dry skin comfortable and smooth.

### What does Licorice Root Extract do for dry skin?

Licorice root extract helps soothe dry skin by calming irritation and reducing redness. It also provides antioxidant protection to support overall skin health and comfort.
Sources: [Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23549137/), [Pigment Cell Research, 1998](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9870547/)

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

Phytic acid helps support the outer skin barrier to keep dry skin feeling comfortable and hydrated. A product of this type needs soothing ingredients and moisture-locking components to relieve tightness and smooth dry areas.
Sources: [Allergy, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40631934/)

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

This exfoliant goes in the evening routine once a week to help renew your dry skin, though it may not provide enough moisture. A product of this type needs rich softening ingredients and deep hydration to keep dry skin feeling soft and smooth.

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

Using this exfoliant treatment with retinol may easily dry out and irritate your skin, so you should use them on separate nights or skip the retinol when applying this product. Dry skin needs gentle ingredients like glycerin for hydration and richer emollients to keep the skin soft and smooth.

### How often should I use this exfoliant?

Start by using this exfoliant just once a week, as acid treatments may dry out skin that already lacks moisture. If your dry skin tolerates it well and stays comfortable, you can carefully use it more often. Dry skin needs exfoliating ingredients paired with rich, softening oils and butters along with deep hydrators to stay smooth and comfortable.

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

This exfoliant treatment is unlikely to clog pores on dry skin, but because it lacks enough softening ingredients, a product of this type needs added richer moisturizers and soothing plant extracts to keep dry skin comfortable.

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
