## 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/))
- 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.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Vaseline Cocoa Glow work for dry sensitive skin?

Vaseline Cocoa Glow works well for dry sensitive skin by using glycerin and cocoa butter to bring in moisture and soften dry areas, though other products may fit this skin type better. It is generally safe for your skin, but the fragrance and other ingredients may pose a slight irritation risk. A body lotion for dry sensitive skin needs highly effective, soothing ingredients that provide deep hydration and nourishment without any risk of irritation, plus formulas free of potential allergens.

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

Glycerin and Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter make this body lotion a good fit because they draw in moisture and soften dry skin. To fit dry sensitive skin even better, a body lotion of this type needs soothing, deeply nourishing ingredients that provide heavy hydration without any risk of irritation.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Hard water increases soap deposits and dryness, making dry sensitive skin more prone to irritation and flare-ups. A product of this type needs gentle cleansers and soothing ingredients to calm the skin and protect its moisture barrier against hard water minerals.
Sources: [The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28927888/), [Clinical and Experimental Allergy, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33259122/)

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

Glycerin helps dry sensitive skin by drawing moisture into the skin and keeping it there, making the skin soft and smooth. It is very gentle and unlikely to cause irritation while improving how well the skin holds onto water. This type of skin needs ingredients that boost hydration and repair the barrier without causing stinging.

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

This body lotion goes in your routine after cleansing and any treatments, helping to lock in moisture and soften dry skin. A daily routine with a moisturizer significantly improves visual dryness and skin comfort over two weeks. To work best for dry sensitive skin, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients and extra moisture boosters without heavy irritants.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/)

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

You can use this body lotion with niacinamide by applying niacinamide first and following with the lotion to keep your dry and sensitive skin soft and hydrated. To achieve the best fit for dry sensitive skin, a product of this type needs soothing ingredients and barrier-supporting agents like ceramides or hyaluronic acid.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### How often should I use it?

You can use this body lotion daily to help keep dry skin feeling soft and comfortable. Regular daily moisturizing significantly improves dryness and supports skin barrier health.
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 dry sensitive skin?

This body lotion is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on dry and sensitive skin, though some users mention a sticky or heavy feel. To work best for this skin type, products should include ingredients like glycerin to hydrate and cocoa butter to smooth and protect the skin barrier.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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