Skincare routine for dry sensitive skin

Routine by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

Makeup removers and cleansers with sweet almond oil, sunflower seed oil, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and ceramides help soothe tightness and ease flakiness. Soothing toners, nourishing masks, and moisturizers with licorice root extract, centella asiatica extract, niacinamide, and squalane help calm redness while smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while it rests away from the sun. The weekly routine replaces the evening routine once a week to add deeper steps like exfoliation and masks for dry sensitive skin.
