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

Brand: [NEOGEN Dermalogy](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/brands/neogen-dermalogy)
Category: [Serums and treatments](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/best/serums)

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 serums alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers excellent treatment for acne blemishes due to salicylic acid and calamine, but the high concentration of alcohol denat poses a major risk of worsening dryness for your dry skin.
- While Centella Asiatica Extract provides some soothing benefits, the formulation lacks sufficient emollient and humectant ingredients to counteract the drying effects of alcohol denat.

## What the research says

- Twice daily application of a multitargeted dermocosmetic cream provided comparable efficacy to benzoyl peroxide 5% gel in reducing inflammatory, non-inflammatory, and total lesions in 150 Caucasian subjects with mild-to-moderate acne over 56 days, while demonstrating superior skin tolerability. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37941097/))
- The use of a salicylic acid-based dermocosmetic significantly reduces the needed quantity of benzoyl peroxide without impacting efficacy in mild to moderate acne, and as maintenance post-benzoyl peroxide allows a significant reduction of acne relapse compared to vehicle. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38051857/))
- A moisturizer containing licochalcone A, 1,2-decanediol, L-carnitine, and salicylic acid significantly reduced noninflammatory, inflammatory, and total acne lesion counts compared to a vehicle control in Thai patients during a 12-week maintenance phase. ([BioMed Research International, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33150170/))
- Cosmetic formulations containing 5% Centella asiatica extract showed the best efficacy in improving skin moisture and decreasing transepidermal water loss, while also exhibiting antiinflammatory properties in 25 volunteers compared to baseline measurements. ([Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/))
- 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/))
- A cream combining propolis, tea tree oil, and Aloe vera reduced erythema scars, acne severity index, and total lesion count better than erythromycin cream in sixty patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris compared to placebo. ([Clinical Pharmacology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30588129/))
- Tea tree oil nanoemulsion containing adapalene gel demonstrated significantly greater reductions in total, inflammatory, and non-inflammatory acne lesions as well as acne severity index compared to adapalene marketed gel in 100 patients with acne vulgaris over 12 weeks. ([Archives of Dermatological Research, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34251536/))
- Topical 5% tea tree oil gel significantly improved total acne lesions and acne severity index compared to placebo in 60 patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris, showing 3.55 times and 5.75 times greater efficacy respectively. ([Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17314442/))
- Cryotherapy with liquid nitrogen achieved a higher cure rate (39%) than salicylic acid (24%) and a wait-and-see approach (16%) for cutaneous warts at 13 weeks in primary care patients. ([CMAJ, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20837684/))
- Treatment with 2% supramolecular salicylic acid hydrogel resulted in a regression and markedly improvement rate of 51.01% compared to 43.10% for Adapaline gel in patients with mild to moderate facial acne vulgaris, showing no significant difference in efficacy. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38590107/))
- Topical 5% benzoyl peroxide plus salicylic acid achieved the greatest lesion reduction at early 2 to 4 week time points compared to benzoyl peroxide, clindamycin, and combination benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin, while 5% benzoyl peroxide plus salicylic acid and combination benzoyl peroxide/clindamycin showed similar efficacy at 10 to 12 weeks in acne patients. ([Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20488582/))
- Topical application of 0.05% w/w ECa 233 gel reduced erythema index by 0.03 U and improved early crusting and general wound appearance compared to placebo in thirty individuals undergoing facial laser resurfacing.

- Topical treatment with 5% vitamin C and 0.1% madecassoside significantly improved clinical scores for wrinkles, suppleness, firmness, roughness, and skin hydration, along with functional and structural remodeling of the elastic fiber network in 20 female volunteers with photoaged skin after 6 months compared to baseline. ([Experimental Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18503551/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Neogen Pink Eraser for dry skin?

Lovi advises caution because the high concentration of alcohol denat in this treatment poses a major risk of worsening dryness on dry skin, while the formula lacks enough moisturizing and hydrating ingredients to counteract it. A treatment for dry skin needs nourishing and soothing ingredients that provide intense hydration and support skin barrier health without any risk of irritation.
Sources: [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37941097/)

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

The high concentration of alcohol denat in this treatment poses a major risk of worsening dryness for your dry skin. While it contains soothing ingredients, a product of this type needs rich hydrating and nourishing ingredients, such as ceramides, niacinamide, and peptides, to support your skin barrier and provide essential moisture without irritation.

### What does Tea Tree Oil do for dry skin?

Tea tree oil is not a good fit for dry skin because it can decrease oil levels and potentially cause irritation. Skincare products for dry skin need soothing and deeply hydrating ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, and rich plant oils to restore moisture and keep the skin soft and smooth.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34986500/)

### 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.

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

This treatment goes in the evening routine, but you should use it with caution because the high concentration of alcohol may worsen dryness. Dry skin needs treatments that include rich moisturizing and soothing ingredients to prevent irritation and flakey patches.

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

You should use caution using this treatment with retinol on your dry skin, as the high concentration of alcohol may worsen dryness. If you do combine them, apply retinol first and follow with this spot treatment only on blemishes, making sure to use rich moisturizing ingredients and hydrators to keep skin soft.

### How often should I use this treatment?

You should use this treatment just once a week to start, because the high alcohol content may worsen your dry skin. To fit your dry skin safely, a product of this type needs rich moisturizing ingredients to lock in hydration and soothe irritation.

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

This treatment is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts since it uses salicylic acid to clear blemishes, but it may worsen dry skin due to its high alcohol content. A product of this type needs rich moisturizing ingredients like ceramides, hyaluronic acid, or plant oils to keep dry skin soft and smooth.

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

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