CeraVe-focused skincare routine for dry skin

Routine by Lovi · Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes · How the Fit score works

A routine for dry skin built around CeraVe products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.

Cleansers, toners, makeup removers, masks, and moisturizers with hyaluronic acid and glycerin help relieve tightness and dehydration. Serums and nourishing masks with niacinamide and ceramides help smooth fine lines, wrinkles, and flakiness.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while it rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week to add deeper steps that tackle flakiness and dehydration.
