Lovi advises caution because mature skin needs rich moisture and nourishment, but this gel lacks enough hydrating ingredients for optimal moisture balance. A treatment for mature skin needs potent antioxidants, hydrating components, and skin-repairing ingredients like nourishing oils and peptides to keep the skin soft and smooth. ### Which ingredients make this treatment a poor fit for mature skin?

Silicones help keep mature skin feeling soft and smooth by locking in moisture and filling in fine lines for a more even look. Because they sit lightly on the surface, they are unlikely to clog pores while giving dry or aging skin a plump feel. ### What does Dimethicone do for mature skin? Dimethicone helps keep mature skin feeling soft and smooth by holding in moisture and supporting the outer skin barrier. Using a moisturizer with dimethicone and glycerin twice a day may also improve skin thickness and reduce dryness over time. Sources: [Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17137484/) ### Where does this treatment go in a skincare routine for mature skin?
