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

Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/nl/best/moisturizers)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with sensitive skin: redness, stinging, and reactions to new products. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for sensitive skin; the moisturizers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation due to salicylic acid and alpha hydroxy acids, which may worsen your redness and irritation, and lacks sufficient humectants and emollients for optimal hydration and barrier support for your normal skin.
- Glycerin provides some hydration, but the overall formula may not adequately address your primary concerns of redness and irritation.

## What the research says

- 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/))
- 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/))
- 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/))
- 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/))
- 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/))

## Why other moisturizers fit sensitive skin better

- A panthenol-enriched mask improved skin hydration, regulated sebum, and reduced redness and TEWL across dry sensitive, oily sensitive, and oily acne skin subgroups with excellent tolerance and no adverse reactions. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38366684/))
- Topical dexpanthenol acts as a moisturizer, improves stratum corneum hydration, accelerates wound healing and epidermal regeneration, reduces erythema, and improves symptoms of skin irritation compared to vehicle or no pretreatment. ([American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/))
- A dexpanthenol-containing cream accelerated skin barrier repair, increased stratum corneum hydration, reduced skin roughness, and decreased skin redness compared to vehicle and untreated controls in sodium lauryl sulphate-irritated skin.

## Questions and answers

### Why is XtraCare Anti-Wrinkle Cream a weak match for sensitive skin?

XtraCare Anti-Wrinkle Cream is a weak match for sensitive skin because its salicylic acid and alpha hydroxy acids offer moderate exfoliation that may worsen your redness and irritation, and it lacks sufficient hydrators and softeners for optimal moisture and barrier support. A product of this type needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica, cica ceramide, and nourishing oils that calm redness and irritation while strengthening the skin barrier without overwhelming the skin.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Salicylic acid and alpha hydroxy acids make this cream a poor fit because they offer exfoliation that may worsen your redness and irritation. A product for this skin needs soothing ingredients like fermented Centella Asiatica, Cica Ceramide, and nourishing oils to calm redness and support the skin barrier without irritation.

### What does Salicylic Acid do for sensitive skin?

Salicylic acid may cause irritation on sensitive skin, so it requires careful use and good sun protection to keep skin comfortable. A product for this skin type needs gentle, soothing ingredients and a mild formula that respects the skin barrier.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 1999](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10233334/), [International Journal of Toxicology, 2003](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14617432/)

### What does Dimethicone do for sensitive skin?

Dimethicone helps protect sensitive skin against irritants and can keep it feeling calm and comfortable. It is generally well tolerated and unlikely to cause adverse reactions on delicate or reactive skin.
Sources: [Ostomy/wound Management, 2005](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16439809/), [Military Medicine, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38771104/)

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

This cream is used in the evening routine to keep things simple and safe around sun exposure. Because it is a weak match for sensitive skin, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients, gentle hydrators, and barrier-supporting emollients to calm redness and irritation.

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

XtraCare ANTI-WRINKLE CREAM is a weak match for sensitive skin because its acids may worsen your redness and irritation, so you should use caution when pairing it with retinol. A product of this type needs soothing ingredients, extra hydration, and barrier support to keep sensitive skin calm and smooth.

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a weak match for sensitive skin because its exfoliating acids may worsen redness and irritation. To use it safely, start by applying it just once a week, and only increase the frequency if your skin tolerates it well without discomfort.

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

This cream is unlikely to clog pores, but the exfoliating acids may cause irritation and redness for sensitive skin. To avoid breakouts, a product for this skin needs gentle soothing ingredients and rich hydrators to keep the skin calm and smooth.

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

This cream is not ideal for the thin skin around your eyes because its exfoliating ingredients may easily trigger redness and irritation. To safely care for sensitive skin in delicate areas or on the body, a product of this type needs extra soothing and hydrating ingredients along with gentle moisturizers to protect the skin barrier.

### Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
