Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate brightening for your dry and sensitive skin as Ascorbyl Isostearate and Ascorbic Acid provide antioxidant and mild brightening effects, though they lack sufficient humectant and emollient ingredients for optimal hydration.
  • The formula offers general skincare benefits that are mostly supportive for your dry or flaky skin, with Ascorbyl Isostearate and Ascorbic Acid contributing to evening skin tone.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like Ascorbyl Isostearate.

How to apply

  • Use this PM routine for your evening skincare. Start using the serum 3 times a week and increase to daily use if your skin feels comfortable.
  • Apply the serum after cleansing and toner, but right before your moisturizer. This step locks in deep hydration for dry skin.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin using your palms. Let it absorb completely for a minute ⏱ before applying your next product.
  • Since your skin is sensitive, apply the serum on completely dry skin for better tolerance and less irritation.
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area during application. Always do a patch test before your first use to ensure your skin reacts well.

Questions and answers

How well does Noche Y Dia Vitamin C Serum work for dry sensitive skin?

This serum works moderately well for your dry sensitive skin, offering brightening and even tone with a very safe formula that is unlikely to cause irritation. However, it lacks enough hydrating and nourishing ingredients for optimal moisture, so a product for this skin needs rich moisturizing components and skin barrier support.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020

Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for dry sensitive skin?

Ascorbic Acid and Ascorbyl Isostearate make this serum a good fit by providing antioxidant support and brightening your skin tone without causing irritation. Because your dry and sensitive skin needs more moisture, a product of this type also needs nourishing and soothing ingredients that add lasting hydration and support the skin barrier.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020

What does Vitamin C do for dry sensitive skin?

Vitamin C helps dry sensitive skin by reducing redness and improving elasticity, while also calming irritation and boosting moisture when properly formulated. It is unlikely to cause trouble when paired with gentle hydrating ingredients, making it a safe choice for smooth skin.

Antioxidants, 2024Experimental Dermatology, 2019

Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for dry sensitive skin?

This serum goes in your evening routine after your toner and before your moisturizer. It is unlikely to cause irritation due to its very safe formula, but dry and sensitive skin of this type needs extra hydrating ingredients that trap moisture and soften flaky areas.

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

You can use this serum with retinol by applying the serum first in your evening routine and following it with your moisturizer, as this product has an excellent safety profile without harsh ingredients. A product of this type for dry sensitive skin also needs rich humectant and emollient ingredients to provide optimal hydration.

How often should I use this serum?

This serum fits into your evening routine, and while you can use it daily, this type needs added rich hydrators and moisture-locking ingredients to properly care for dry skin.

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

This serum is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores on dry and sensitive skin due to its safe formula with no harsh ingredients. However, it lacks enough rich moisturizing ingredients and soothing hydrators that dry skin needs to stay comfortable and soft.

Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (limonene, citral, linalool, and geraniol).

    Drugs Under Experimental and Clinical Research, 1999

  • Limonene protects immortalized human skin keratinocytes against UVB-induced photodamage and photoaging by increasing cell viability, inhibiting intracellular ROS generation, suppressing alpha-MSH secretion, and preventing depletion of tight junction proteins through activation of the Nrf2-dependent antioxidant defense system.

Why other serums fit dry sensitive skin better

  • A formulation containing glycerol (5%) and xylitol (5%) applied twice daily for 14 days increased skin hydration, filaggrin protein quantity, interdigitation index, and biomechanical properties, and decreased transepidermal water loss compared to untreated and vehicle-treated skin in twelve volunteers with dry skin.

    Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017

  • In 50 participants with sensitive skin, a Ceramide NP C15-containing emollient improved skin barrier function with a significant reduction in transepidermal water loss and induced modest changes in skin microbiota compared to the vehicle.
