# Peony

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/peony

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

Peony helps soothe redness, supports the skin barrier, calms irritation from UV rays, eases acne, protects against sun damage, and softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It suits dry skin and oily skin best and is commonly found in nourishing creams. It layers easily into your daily routine.

## Questions and answers

### What does peony do for the skin?

Peony helps protect skin from sun damage and may reduce the look of facial wrinkles. It also helps soothe inflammation, supports skin barrier recovery, and boosts elasticity.

[Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16676123/) [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40079176/)

### How do you use peony?

Peony helps protect skin against UV damage and supports anti-aging when applied topically. It may also help reduce facial wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and promote barrier repair.

[Molecular Medicine Reports, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26936104/) [Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37446936/)

### Should you use peony in the morning or at night?

Peony helps protect against UV-induced damage, making it suitable for morning use.

[Molecular Medicine Reports, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26936104/) [Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16676123/)

### Can you use peony every day?

Yes, you can use peony every day because studies show its [extracts](https://lovi.care/skincare/uk/ingredients/extract) help protect skin cells from UV damage and improve barrier recovery over time.

[Molecular Medicine Reports, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26936104/) [Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16676123/)

### Does peony cause purging or irritation?

Peony is unlikely to cause skin irritation. In fact, studies show that formulations containing peony derivatives help reduce skin irritation and soothe inflammation.

[Medical Science Monitor, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26517086/) [Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37446936/)

### Which skin types is peony best for?

Peony is best for dry, oily, combination, sensitive, and acne-prone skin, as well as mature skin and skin with dark spots. Lovi gives peony a superior fit for dry skin, dry sensitive skin, and oily acne-prone skin.
