Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate hydration for your dry and flaky skin, as sodium hyaluronate and glycerin provide humectant action to attract moisture.
  • The formula includes decylester of oleic acid for some emollient benefits, but lacks richer lipids to fully address your dry skin needs.

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

★4.6Overall rating based on 700+ reviews

This cream is highly praised for its intense hydration and plumping effects, smoothing fine lines and giving skin a dewy appearance. It is also noted for its healing properties, effectively fading scars and calming redness. While many use it as an effective makeup primer due to its tacky finish, some users find its thick texture difficult to spread and note that it must be applied to damp skin to avoid dehydration. A small number of users report breakouts or issues with the packaging.

Questions and answers

Why does Lovi advise caution with Ialuset Hyaluronic Acid Cream for dry sensitive skin?

Lovi advises caution because this cream lacks the rich lipids and soothing ingredients needed to fully comfort dry and sensitive skin. A product for this skin type needs a rich blend of nourishing emollients and skin barrier supporters to lock in moisture and prevent irritation.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for dry sensitive skin?

This cream is a poor fit for dry sensitive skin mainly due to sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium cetearyl sulfate, which can easily trigger irritation on delicate skin. A moisturizing treatment for this skin type needs richer lipids and soothing, nourishing ingredients that deeply hydrate and support the skin barrier without any risk of irritation.

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.

Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011Dermatology and Therapy, 2021

What does Cetearyl Glucoside do for dry sensitive skin?

Cetearyl Glucoside helps blend oil and water in a cream so it goes on evenly and feels smooth on dry, sensitive skin. The way it helps ingredients sink in depends on how the formula balances its oils and water-loving parts. A product of this type needs gentle, soothing moisturizers and mild emulsifiers to keep dry, sensitive skin soft and calm without irritation.

Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2010

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

This cream goes in the evening routine after your toner and before your moisturizer, or after your nourishing mask on weekly routine nights. Because it only offers moderate hydration and lacks richer lipids, dry sensitive skin needs a product of this type that also includes richer oils and heavier moisturizing ingredients to truly soften and protect dry skin.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

You can use this cream with retinol by applying the treatment first and following with a rich moisturizer to help soothe sensitive areas. Because this formula lacks richer lipids and contains potential irritants like sodium lauryl sulfate, dry sensitive skin needs soothing ingredients and barrier-repairing ceramides to prevent irritation from strong actives.

How often should I use this cream?

This cream is used in the evening in your routine for dry sensitive skin. A product of this type needs richer lipids and gentle ingredients to fully soothe and comfort dry skin.

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

This cream is unlikely to cause breakouts for dry sensitive skin, as reviewer complaints about this are low. However, a product of this type needs richer lipids and gentle softeners to fully address dry skin needs without irritation.

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

You can use this cream on your body and around the eyes, because the skin in these areas can benefit from its moisturizing ingredients. However, because this product lacks richer lipids to fully address dry skin, dry and sensitive skin of this type needs richer oils and stronger barrier-protecting ingredients.

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl 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, 2017

  • Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control.

    Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011

  • Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction.

    Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022

  • Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days.

    BMC Oral Health, 2019

  • 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

  • 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

  • Niacinamide/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.

    Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012

  • Topical treatment with 0.1% retinoic acid cream under occlusion for 4 days induced epidermal cell growth, increased CD4+ T cells, altered phospholipase C/protein kinase C signaling components, and caused histologic alterations indistinguishable from those induced by sodium lauryl sulfate in non-sun-exposed human skin.
