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

Works for dry sensitive skin; other moisturizers fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for your dry skin, as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide humectant action to hydrate and plump, but it lacks sufficient emollient ingredients like squalane to fully address dryness.
- The presence of Tremella Fuciformis Extract Mushroom Extract and Sodium Hyaluronate offers relevant benefits for your dry or flaky skin and sensitivity by providing hydration and soothing.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your dry and sensitive skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Danessa Myricks Yummy Skin Water Powder Serum work for dry sensitive skin?

This serum works moderately well for dry sensitive skin because it helps hydrate and soothe, but it lacks enough oils and softeners to fully treat dryness. Moisturizing treatments for this skin need rich softeners and nourishing ingredients that deeply hydrate and support the skin barrier.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Sodium hyaluronate and glycerin help hydrate your dry skin, while mushroom extract and niacinamide soothe it. However, because it lacks enough softening ingredients to fully tackle dryness, a product for this skin type needs a rich blend of softening agents and deep hydrators to lock in moisture and support the skin barrier.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### 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.
Sources: [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/), [Dermatology and Therapy, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34176098/)

### 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.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2004](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17147561/), [International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23220080/)

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

This treatment goes in the evening routine after your cleanser and soothing toner, followed by a moisturizer. A product of this type needs more rich softening ingredients like squalane to fully address dry skin.

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

You can use this serum with retinol by applying the serum first to hydrate your skin before layering your retinol. This product is unlikely to cause irritation for your dry and sensitive skin, but it needs richer softening ingredients to fully address dryness.

### How often should I use this serum?

This treatment works best in your evening routine for simplicity and extra safety around sun exposure. A product of this type for dry sensitive skin needs rich softening ingredients like squalane to fully address dryness.

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

This serum is unlikely to cause irritation or breakouts on your dry sensitive skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components. It has an excellent safety profile, though a product of this type needs richer softening ingredients like squalane to fully address dryness.

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

This serum works fine on the delicate skin around the eyes and on the body, keeping things safe and calm without causing irritation. To properly care for dry skin in those areas, a product of this type needs rich softening ingredients like squalane alongside heavy oils and butters to lock in lasting moisture.

### Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
