Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing for your dry and flaky skin due to the presence of humectants like glycerin and panthenol, which provide hydration and soothing effects. Shea butter offers some barrier support, but may not be occlusive enough for optimal results on dry skin.
  • The inclusion of multiple forms of hyaluronic acid and trehalose further enhances hydration, addressing your dry skin concerns.
  • The product is safe for your dry and sensitive skin as it contains soothing ingredients like niacinamide and panthenol, and lacks harsh or prohibited components.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using this moisturizer 3 times a week and move to daily use if your dry skin tolerates it well.
  • Apply this moisturizer after cleansing and toner in the morning, or after your serum in the evening. Always pair it with SPF in the morning.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing it harshly to protect your sensitive skin.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help with hydration absorption. This also works well for dry and flaky skin types.
  • Do a patch test before your first use. Avoid the eye area to prevent any irritation.

People Say

★4.8Overall rating based on 1.0k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, users with dehydrated, oily, and combination skin frequently praise this cream for its lightweight, gel-like texture that delivers deep hydration without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue. While many report a "glass skin" effect and improved texture, some users find the floral fragrance too strong or the moisture level insufficient for extremely dry skin types during winter.

Questions and answers

How well does Super Aqua Ultra Hyalron Cream work for dry sensitive skin?

This cream works moderately well for dry and sensitive skin, providing soothing hydration with glycerin and panthenol, though it may lack enough sealing power for optimal results. Dry skin of this type needs richer nourishing ingredients and stronger barrier-supporting components to lock in moisture.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017

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

Glycerin, panthenol, and multiple forms of hyaluronic acid make this cream a good fit by drawing moisture into dry skin and soothing irritation. A product of this type needs richer occlusive ingredients and stronger barrier support to keep dry and sensitive skin fully protected.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017

What does Hyaluronic Acid do for dry sensitive skin?

Hyaluronic acid is a great fit for dry, sensitive skin because it brings a large boost in hydration, making the skin feel soft and smooth while improving barrier function. It helps calm tightness and dryness, and is unlikely to cause irritation.

Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011Dermatology and Therapy, 2021

What does Niacinamide do for dry sensitive skin?

Niacinamide helps dry sensitive skin by calming irritation and keeping moisture locked in so your face feels soft and smooth. It works to build up your skin barrier and calm redness while being very gentle and unlikely to cause irritation.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2004International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2013

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

This treatment goes in the evening routine after your soothing toner and before your moisturizer. A product of this type for dry sensitive skin needs rich nourishing ingredients and heavier protective sealants to properly lock in hydration and prevent moisture loss.

The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022

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

You can use this cream alongside retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help soothe the skin and reduce irritation. A product of this type works well for dry skin when it includes richer sealing ingredients to lock in the moisture and protect the skin barrier.

Cutis, 2006American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002

How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing treatment daily in your evening routine, applying it after your toner to help keep your dry skin calm and hydrated. Dry and sensitive skin of this type needs richer, heavier barrier-locking ingredients and oils to seal in moisture and fully prevent flaking.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021

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

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on dry and sensitive skin because it lacks heavy pore-clogging ingredients and contains soothing components like niacinamide and panthenol. Purging is also not expected since the formula does not contain active skin-renewing ingredients that speed up cell turnover.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017

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

You can use this cream on the thin skin around your eyes and on your body, as its safe formula is unlikely to cause irritation. However, because dry and sensitive skin needs heavier barrier-locking ingredients to stay soft and smooth, this type of product may not provide enough richness for optimal results on very dry areas.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017

Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (limonene and linalool). Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
