Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing for your dry skin, as glycerin and hyaluronic acid provide hydration and plumpness, while squalane offers emollient action.
- The formula includes chamomile flower extract and cucumber fruit extract to soothe dry or flaky skin.
- The product is safe for your dry and sensitive skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing 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.

Questions and answers
How well does Estée Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ work for dry sensitive skin?
Estée Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ works moderately well for dry sensitive skin, offering hydration and calming benefits without irritation. However, a product for this skin needs deeper nourishment, rich soothing ingredients, and strong skin barrier support to provide exceptional suitability.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for dry sensitive skin?
Glycerin and hyaluronic acid help give your dry skin moderate moisture and plumpness, while squalane softens it. Chamomile and cucumber extracts also help calm flaky skin without causing irritation. To work even better for this skin type, a product needs deep hydration and rich nourishing ingredients that support the skin barrier while completely avoiding any risk of irritation.
What does Water do for dry sensitive skin?
Hard water increases soap deposits and dryness, making dry sensitive skin more prone to irritation and flare-ups. A product of this type needs gentle cleansers and soothing ingredients to calm the skin and protect its moisture barrier against hard water minerals.
The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2018Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 2021
What does Dimethicone do for dry sensitive skin?
Dimethicone helps protect dry sensitive skin, though it may show varying performance compared to other protectants. This type of product needs gentle, hydrating ingredients that support the skin barrier without causing irritation.
Where does it go in a skincare routine for dry sensitive skin?
This moisturizing treatment goes in the evening routine after your cleanser and soothing toner, and before your moisturizer. Dry and sensitive skin needs a routine built around gentle, hydrating ingredients like glycerin, hyaluronic acid, and soothing botanical extracts to keep skin calm and soft.
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this treatment with retinol by applying it after your retinol product to help keep your dry skin calm and hydrated. Because your skin is sensitive, this product of this type needs extra soothing and barrier-repairing ingredients like ceramides and nourishing plant oils to prevent flakiness and keep it comfortable.
How often should I use it?
You can use this moisturizing treatment daily to help keep your dry, sensitive skin hydrated and soft. Twice-daily application is well-supported by studies for improving skin moisture and barrier function.
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 for dry sensitive skin, as reviewers rarely report this issue. However, because it offers only moderate moisture, dry skin often needs richer ingredients like heavier plant oils or butters and extra barrier-protecting components to stay completely smooth and comfortable.
Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizing treatment around the eyes and on the body, though the skin around the eyes is much thinner than on most body areas. It is unlikely to irritate your skin, but dry sensitive skin often needs richer creams with heavier oils and stronger soothing ingredients to stay comfortable in thinner areas.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
What the research says
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, 2017Wearing 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, 2024Treatment 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, 2007Externally applied substances such as ceramides, hyaluronic acid, licorice extracts, dimethicone, petrolatum, and paraffin wax treat skin disease resulting from damage to the skin barrier.
Clinics in Dermatology, 2012The 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, 2020Ten 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, 2001Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.
