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

Brand: [KORRES](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/brands/korres)
Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/best/moisturizers)

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.

A weak match for dry sensitive skin; the moisturizers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate exfoliation for your dry or flaky skin due to lactic acid, which promotes surface renewal, while olive and sunflower seed oils provide emollient action to smooth intercellular lipids and enhance barrier resilience. Glycerin further supports hydration and barrier repair, making it highly suitable for your dry skin type.
- The presence of alcohol denat alongside lactic acid introduces a potential for mild irritation, which is a consideration for your sensitive skin.

([Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38828801/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is KORRES Velvet Skin Drink a weak match for dry sensitive skin?

This product is a weak match because the alcohol and lactic acid in the formula may cause mild irritation on sensitive skin. A moisturizing treatment for dry sensitive skin needs soothing, nourishing ingredients that provide deep hydration without any risk of irritation.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Alcohol denat and lactic acid make this treatment a weak match because they may cause irritation on dry sensitive skin. A product of this type needs soothing, deeply hydrating ingredients and nourishing oils that support the skin barrier without any risk of irritation.

### What does Resveratrol do for dry sensitive skin?

Resveratrol helps soothe dry, sensitive skin by calming inflammation and protecting against everyday stressors that can trigger irritation. It also supports the skin barrier, keeping moisture locked in so your face stays soft and comfortable.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29737899/), [Oxidative Medicine and Cellular Longevity, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35028009/)

### What does Santorini Grape Extract do for dry sensitive skin?

Santorini Grape Extract helps calm dry sensitive skin by fighting daily stress and reducing irritation. It also supports skin strength and keeps the surface smooth.
Sources: [Phytomedicine, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39243749/), [Biomolecules, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34439847/)

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

This moisturizing treatment goes in the evening routine after your toner and before your moisturizer. Because it contains alcohol denat and lactic acid, it may cause mild irritation on sensitive skin, so a product of this type for your skin needs soothing ingredients like glycerin and plant oils to keep skin calm and soft.

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

You can use this treatment in your evening routine before your moisturizer, but because it contains alcohol and lactic acid, it may cause irritation on your sensitive skin when paired with retinol. To safely use active ingredients like retinol on dry and sensitive skin, a product of this type needs soothing plant extracts and barrier-repairing ceramides without drying alcohols.

### How often should I use it?

This product is a weak match for your dry sensitive skin because the alcohol denat and lactic acid may cause mild irritation. To care for this skin type safely, a product of this type needs gentle hydrating ingredients and soothing plant oils without harsh drying alcohols or strong acids.

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

This treatment is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for your dry sensitive skin, as negative feedback about breakouts is low. However, a product of this type needs gentle, soothing ingredients and fragrance-free hydration to avoid irritation while keeping your skin calm and soft.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This product is generally formulated for facial use, and applying it around the eyes or on the body requires caution due to the alcohol denat and lactic acid which may cause mild irritation on thinner areas. A product of this type needs soothing oils and gentle hydrating ingredients without drying alcohols to properly care for sensitive skin in those delicate regions.

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

It contains fragrance (parfum) and drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
