Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration for your dry skin, as glycerin and caprylic capric triglyceride provide moisturizing effects, while peptides and ceramide NP support barrier repair and elasticity.
- The formula is generally safe for your dry skin, with no harsh ingredients that would cause irritation.
- While it addresses general skincare needs like hydration, it does not offer targeted treatment for flakiness.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and work your way up to daily use.
- Apply your moisturizer after your toner and before your sunscreen in the morning. At night, use it as the final step after your serum.
- Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing to keep your dry skin happy.
- Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra hydration. This is great for soothing dry and flaky areas .
- Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a patch test before your first use .
People Say
★4.8Overall rating based on 300+ reviewsThis rich cream is highly praised for its intense hydration and luxurious texture, making it ideal for dry and mature skin types.

Questions and answers
How well does BIOHEAL BOH Probioderm Lifting Cream work for dry skin?
This cream works decently for dry skin by offering moderate moisture and supporting elasticity, though other products fit this skin type better. It helps keep your skin comfortable and is unlikely to cause irritation, but a product of this type needs richer emollients and heavy sealants to lock in lasting moisture and fully stop flakiness.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for dry skin?
Glycerin and caprylic capric triglyceride provide moderate hydration, while peptides and ceramide NP help support your skin barrier and elasticity. For dry skin, this type of product also needs a richer blend of emollients and occlusives to lock in moisture and prevent flakiness.
What do Peptides do for dry skin?
Peptides help dry skin by supporting skin barrier health and improving moisture retention. Regular use may also enhance skin firmness and smooth out the texture of dry skin over time.
What does Hyaluronic Acid do for dry skin?
Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into dry skin, giving an immediate and lasting boost in hydration that helps smooth out fine lines and soften rough patches. It is very gentle and unlikely to cause irritation while improving overall skin smoothness and plumpness.
Dermatology and Therapy, 2021Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for dry skin?
This moisturizing treatment goes near the end of your evening routine, after your cleanser and treatment steps. A consistent daily routine with a good moisturizer helps improve visual dryness and overall comfort in dry skin.
Can I use this cream with vitamin C, and in what order?
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizing treatment daily to help keep your dry skin soft and supported. Twice-daily application may significantly improve skin moisture, smoothness, and overall hydration. To truly care for dry skin, this type of product needs richer ingredients like natural oils and heavy butters to lock in moisture and ease flakiness.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?
This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for dry skin, as its formula avoids harsh ingredients that typically trigger irritation. However, because it provides moderate moisture, dry skin that is prone to flakiness needs a product with heavier oils and targeted hydrators to properly smooth the skin.
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizing treatment around the eyes or on your body, but keep in mind that the skin on the eyelids is much thinner than on other areas. It is generally safe for these areas, though dry skin on the body often needs heavier moisturizing ingredients like urea or richer plant oils to stay comfortable.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
