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

Brand: [Aquaphor](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/brands/aquaphor)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with mature skin: fine lines, wrinkles, and loss of firmness. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for mature skin; the products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing for your normal skin, as petrolatum and glycerin hydrate and enhance barrier resilience, but these ingredients are not specialized for your wrinkles and fine lines.
- Panthenol and bisabolol provide anti-inflammatory action and general skincare benefits, though a more targeted approach would yield better results for your specific concerns.

## 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, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Topical dexpanthenol acts as a moisturizer, improves stratum corneum hydration, accelerates wound healing and epidermal regeneration, reduces erythema, and improves symptoms of skin irritation compared to vehicle or no pretreatment. ([American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/))
- A new topical panthenol-containing emollient significantly improved transepidermal water loss reduction, stratum corneum hydration, and intercellular lipid lamellae length compared with control in healthy subjects without negatively impacting bacterial viability. ([The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/))
- A panthenol-enriched mask significantly decreased erythema and hyperpigmentation, increased sebum and stratum corneum moisture, and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to a saline dressing in 60 subjects undergoing facial laser treatment. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40613435/))
- The 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, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Topical treatment with skin-identical lipids in a petrolatum-rich cream base showed no superiority over pure petrolatum in promoting normalization of barrier recovery and inflammation in detergent- and tape-stripped-perturbed human skin over 14 days.

([Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40649050/))
- Ten 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, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))

- Topical application of 1,3-propanediol at various concentrations, alone or combined with butylene glycol and/or glycerol, increased skin hydration and reduced trans epidermal water loss in 30 healthy female subjects over an 8-hour period, with the 15% concentration and the addition of glycerol providing greater benefits. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37699769/))
- Moisturizer containing 5% panthenol, madecassoside, and copper-zinc-manganese decreased adverse reactions and downtime after ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing with comparable efficacy to 0.02% triamcinolone acetonide cream in 20 subjects. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30945430/))

- Hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid plus dexpanthenol, and isotonic saline nasal sprays all significantly improved dry nose symptoms over four weeks in 240 patients, with hyaluronic acid plus dexpanthenol providing superior nasal moisturisation compared to the other two.

- Application of an alpha-bisabolol-containing cream produced a significant skin-lightening effect in pigmented skin compared to a vehicle control in the majority of female subjects after 8 weeks. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20642768/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is Aquaphor Advanced Therapy Healing Ointment a weak match for mature skin?

This ointment is a weak match for mature skin because its ingredients hydrate and calm normal skin, but they do not target wrinkles and fine lines. Body lotions that fit mature skin better need potent anti-aging ingredients like peptides and antioxidants along with rich hydrating components to address fine lines effectively.
Sources: [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/), [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/)

### Which ingredients make this body lotion a poor fit for mature skin?

This body lotion is a weak match because petrolatum and glycerin only offer basic moisture and do not target wrinkles and fine lines. Mature skin needs a product with peptides and antioxidants to smooth and nourish while keeping the skin barrier healthy.
Sources: [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/), [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/)

### What does Petrolatum do for mature skin?

Petrolatum helps mature skin by locking in moisture and strengthening the skin barrier to keep it soft and smooth. Studies show it creates a strong protective layer that significantly reduces water loss and improves overall dryness.
Sources: [Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40649050/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/)

### What does Glycerin do for mature skin?

Glycerin helps keep mature skin feeling soft and smooth by drawing moisture into the outer layer and locking it in. This daily hydration boost supports the skin barrier, keeping dry areas comfortable and protected against irritation.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Where does this body lotion go in a skincare routine for mature skin?

This body lotion is a weak match for mature skin because it offers basic hydration without specialized ingredients for wrinkles and fine lines. A product for this skin needs targeted anti-aging ingredients like peptides, antioxidants, or retinoids to properly address signs of aging.
Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36607762/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40327583/)

### Can I use this body lotion with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this body lotion with retinol by applying the retinol first and following with the lotion to keep your skin soft and calm. Using a barrier-enhancing moisturizer helps your skin tolerate retinol better and reduces dryness.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this body lotion?

You can use this body lotion daily to help keep your skin soft and hydrated, though it is a weak match for mature skin. Mature skin needs products with specialized ingredients and targeted treatments to effectively address fine lines and wrinkles.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/), [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/)

### Can this body lotion clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for mature skin?

This body lotion is unlikely to cause breakouts for mature skin, as user complaints about clogged pores are low. A product for this skin needs specialized ingredients that target fine lines and wrinkles while keeping pores clear.
