# Menthol

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/menthol

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

Topical menthol provides a soothing cooling sensation that visibly calms skin by reducing itch intensity and flare diameters, while also subtly influencing cold sensitivity. It suits individuals with dry skin and oily skin best, and is most commonly experienced in lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sa/ingredients/serum). Because of its fluid texture, it layers easily into any daily routine.

## Questions and answers

### What does menthol do for the skin?

[Neuroscience Letters, 1995](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7624016/) [Pain, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16527405/)

### How do you use menthol?

Topical menthol may help reduce itch intensity and calm skin reactions. It is typically applied directly to the skin as needed for relief.

[Neuroscience Letters, 1995](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7624016/) [Pain, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16527405/)

[Neuroscience Letters, 1995](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/7624016/) [Pain, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16527405/)
