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

Brand: [Lubriderm](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/brands/lubriderm)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with dark spots: hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and uneven skin tone. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for skin with dark spots; the products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing for your normal skin due to glycerin and dimethicone, which hydrate and smooth the skin, but it does not directly address your pigmentation concerns.
- While the formula provides general skincare benefits, it lacks sufficient emollients for optimal skin hydration and does not offer targeted support for pigmentation.

## 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/))
- Petrolatum-based skin protectants demonstrated protection against irritants and maceration while providing skin hydration, whereas dimethicone and zinc oxide products showed varying or limited performance across parameters among 18 healthy volunteers compared to positive and negative controls. ([Ostomy/wound Management, 2005](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16439809/))
- 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/))
- 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/))
- 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](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))
- Repeated application of concentrated water-in-oil emulsions over four weeks caused no skin irritation, positively affected skin properties, and delivered almost 50% of the applied fluorescein sodium, with isopropyl myristate showing superior penetration performance compared to liquid paraffin in healthy volunteers. ([International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31525444/))

## Why other products fit skin with dark spots better

- Niacinamide significantly decreased hyperpigmentation and increased skin lightness compared with vehicle alone after 4 weeks of use in women by inhibiting melanosome transfer. ([The British Journal of Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12100180/))
- Topical oxidized glutathione significantly decreases the skin melanin index and improves moisture content, smoothness, wrinkle formation, and elasticity compared to placebo in healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25378941/))
- Topical application of Lactobacillus plantarum-GMNL6 enhanced collagen synthesis and SPTSSA gene expression while reducing melanin synthesis, Staphylococcus aureus biofilm, and Cutibacterium acnes proliferation, leading to clinical improvements in skin moisture, color, spots, wrinkles, UV spots, and porphyrins in human volunteers. ([International Journal of Medical Sciences, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33526970/))

## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, this product is highly regarded for its ability to hydrate normal to dry and sensitive skin, leaving it soft and smooth without a heavy feel. A significant number of users report that it absorbs quickly and is gentle enough for sensitive skin. Some users with very dry skin find it insufficient for long-lasting moisture, and a moderate number of recent reviews indicate a formula change has resulted in a sticky texture or mild irritation.

- Liked: Fast absorbing (often mentioned)
- Liked: Good for sensitive (often mentioned)

## Questions and answers

### Why is Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion a weak match for skin with dark spots?

Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion is a weak match because it offers only moderate moisturizing with glycerin and dimethicone and does not directly address your pigmentation concerns. A body lotion of this type needs effective brightening ingredients that align with pigmentation goals alongside rich soothing and moisturizing components to properly suit skin with dark spots.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Which ingredients make this body lotion a poor fit for skin with dark spots?

This body lotion is a weak match for skin with dark spots because it lacks brightening ingredients to target pigmentation concerns. A product of this type needs effective brightening ingredients, soothing components, and vitamins that align with pigmentation goals while keeping skin soft.

### What does Water do for skin with dark spots?

Water is unlikely to directly reduce dark spots on its own, but staying properly hydrated helps maintain overall skin health and supports the skin barrier. To effectively target dark spots, your skincare routine also needs specialized antioxidant substances and brightening ingredients like niacinamide.
Sources: [Annals of Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38816975/)

### What does Glycerin do for skin with dark spots?

Glycerin helps keep dry skin hydrated and supports a healthy skin barrier, which makes skin feel soft and smooth. While it does not directly fade dark spots on its own, it is often added to spot-fading products to keep the skin comfortable while other ingredients work.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27349297/)

### Where does it go in a skincare routine for skin with dark spots?

This lotion is a weak match for skin with dark spots because it only offers general moisturizing and lacks targeted ingredients for pigmentation. Skin with dark spots needs products that combine hydrators like glycerin with targeted brighteners such as vitamin C, niacinamide, or specialized peptides.

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

You can use this body lotion with retinol by applying the lotion after your retinol product has fully absorbed to help keep your skin smooth and hydrated. This lotion is a weak match for dark spots, so skincare for this skin needs targeted ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide to help fade dark spots and brighten your complexion.

### How often should I use it?

You can use this body lotion daily to help keep your normal skin soft and smooth, though it does not provide targeted support for dark spots. To properly address dark spots, this skin type needs targeted brightening ingredients and treatments that actively fade discoloration.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/)

### Can this body lotion clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for skin with dark spots?

This body lotion is unlikely to cause breakouts or purging, though it contains mineral oil and petrolatum which may feel heavy on some skin types. A lotion for skin with dark spots needs ingredients like vitamin C or niacinamide to help fade spots and brighten the skin.
Sources: [Ostomy/wound Management, 2005](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16439809/)

### Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
