Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your dry and sensitive skin as glycerin and squalane provide essential hydration and emollient benefits, supporting your skin's moisture barrier.
  • While ingredients like sodium hyaluronate and aloe vera leaf juice offer additional soothing and plumping effects, the formula lacks specialized ingredients to directly target and alleviate flakiness.
  • The product is safe for your skin, with no identified risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh or prohibited ingredients.

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

★4.2Overall rating based on 500+ reviews

The serum is widely praised for its hydrating properties and lightweight, whipped consistency that leaves skin feeling smooth and refreshed. However, many users and experts caution that it functions more like a basic moisturizer than a targeted serum, and those with acne-prone skin should be wary of potentially pore-clogging ingredients like coconut oil and cocoa butter.

Questions and answers

How well does TRULY Glass Skin Serum work for dry sensitive skin?

TRULY Glass Skin Facial Serum offers moderate suitability for dry and sensitive skin because its glycerin and squalane provide essential hydration and support your moisture barrier, though it lacks specialized ingredients to directly target flakiness. A product of this type needs a blend of effective hydrating and soothing ingredients, such as multiple forms of hyaluronic acid and pro vitamin B5, to enhance skin vitality and directly address dryness and flakiness without any risk of irritation.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

This serum works for dry sensitive skin because glycerin and squalane help provide essential hydration and support your moisture barrier. It also includes sodium hyaluronate and aloe vera leaf juice, which may help soothe and plump dry skin. However, this skin type needs extra moisturizing agents and beneficial extracts to target and alleviate flakiness.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What does Jojoba Oil do for dry sensitive skin?

Jojoba oil helps soothe dry sensitive skin by calming irritation and strengthening the skin barrier to lock in moisture. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may help improve overall hydration and softness. This skin type needs plant oils that repair the barrier and provide soothing, anti-inflammatory benefits.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2022International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017

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 it go in a skincare routine for dry sensitive skin?

This treatment goes in the evening routine for dry sensitive skin, after cleansing and toning and before moisturizing. Putting treatments in the evening helps keep the routine simple and adds safety around sun exposure.

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

You can use this serum in your evening routine alongside retinol by applying it after your cleansing and toning steps and before your moisturizer. It is unlikely to cause irritation due to its safe ingredients, but because your skin is dry and sensitive, a product of this type needs rich hydrators and soothing barrier ingredients to prevent flakiness.

How often should I use it?

TRULY Glass Skin Facial Serum is used in the evening as part of your routine. This timing keeps your routine simple and provides extra safety around sun exposure, though this type of serum may also be used in the morning or twice a day when your skin tolerates it well.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021

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

This serum may occasionally cause breakouts for dry sensitive skin, as reviewers report moderate complaints about potential breakouts. A product of this type needs non-clogging, soothing ingredients and lightweight hydration to keep this skin clear and smooth.

Can I use it around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this moisturizing treatment around your eyes and on your body as it has a safe profile with no harsh ingredients. Because skin can be very thin around the eyes and varies across the body, products used here need gentle hydrating and soothing ingredients like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate.

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002

Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
