Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate hydration for your dry or flaky skin, as glycerin and propanediol provide humectant benefits to plump and hydrate the skin. Betaine further supports this humectant action, though the formula lacks sufficient emollient and occlusive ingredients for optimal dryness relief.
  • The inclusion of niacinamide offers additional skin-brightening and barrier-strengthening benefits, complementing the primary moisturizing function.
  • The product is generally safe for your dry skin, with a low risk of irritation primarily from fragrance.

How to apply

  • Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and work your way up to daily use.
  • Apply your moisturizer after your toner and before your sunscreen in the morning. At night, use it as the final step after your serum.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin. Avoid rubbing to keep your dry skin happy.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra hydration. This is great for soothing dry and flaky areas .
  • Avoid the sensitive eye area and do a patch test before your first use .

People Say

★4.0Overall rating based on 3.3k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, this lightweight jelly moisturizer is highly praised by users with oily and combination skin for providing a refreshing, non-greasy feel and a radiant "glass skin" finish. However, users with dry skin frequently find it lacks sufficient hydration, and the strong floral fragrance is a common concern for those with sensitive skin.

Questions and answers

How well does innisfree Cherry Blossom Jelly Cream work for dry skin?

Innisfree Cherry Blossom Glow Jelly Cream works for your dry skin by providing moderate hydration through glycerin and betaine, though other products fit this skin type better. It lacks sufficient rich oils and sealing ingredients for optimal relief from dryness. Moisturizers that fit dry skin best need a rich blend of nourishing emollients and heavy sealing ingredients that deeply lock in moisture and fully support the skin barrier.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024

Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for dry skin?

Glycerin, propanediol, and betaine help plump and hydrate your dry skin, while niacinamide strengthens your skin barrier. However, because this moisturizer lacks heavier softening and sealing ingredients, dry skin needs a formula rich in nourishing emollients and moisture-locking ingredients for the best relief.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024

What does Cherry Blossom Extract do for dry skin?

Cherry blossom extract helps calm irritated skin and reduces redness. A gentle cream with this ingredient is a great choice for dry skin that is easily upset or inflamed.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2014

What does Niacinamide do for dry skin?

Niacinamide helps dry skin by strengthening the skin barrier, increasing hydration, and reducing water loss. It supports ceramide production and helps keep the surface smooth and calm. This ingredient tends to be very well tolerated and is unlikely to irritate dry skin.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2004Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2026

Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for dry skin?

This moisturizer goes after your hydrating toner in the morning and after your treatment in the evening, as part of your daily routine. Daily use of a moisturizer helps improve visual dryness and keeps dry skin comfortable, though this particular cream needs added rich oils and butters or heavier sealing ingredients to provide optimal dryness relief.

The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this moisturizer with retinol by applying it after your retinol treatment to help soothe your skin. A moisturizer for dry skin needs rich, softening oils and sealing ingredients to lock in hydration and prevent dryness relief issues when using retinol.

Cutis, 2006

How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizer daily in the morning and evening as part of your routine. It provides moderate hydration, though dry skin generally needs richer ingredients that seal in moisture and soften flaky areas better.

Health Science Reports, 2021Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020

Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for dry skin?

This moisturizer is generally safe for your dry skin and is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts. It has a low risk of irritation, though the fragrance may bother sensitive skin.

Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this cream on the thin skin around your eyes and on your body, as its gentle formula is generally safe and unlikely to cause irritation. Because dry skin needs more richness to stay comfortable, this product needs extra smoothing and sealing ingredients to lock in moisture.

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024

Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum).
