This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with dry skin: flakiness, tightness, dehydration, fine lines, and wrinkles. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for dry skin; the eye cares alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate hydration for your dry skin due to the presence of sodium hyaluronate for humectant action, but lacks sufficient emollient ingredients for optimal hydration.
- Serum albumin provides moderate firming and tightening for the under-eye area, addressing your goal of reducing dryness and flakiness.

([Drug Delivery, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28155509/))
- Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/))

## What reviewers say

This serum is highly effective for users seeking an immediate, temporary reduction in under-eye puffiness, dark circles, and crepey skin.

The summary is based on a very large amount of data and should definitely be taken into account.

- Liked: Reduces puffiness (mostly mentioned)
- Disliked: Leaves residue (mostly mentioned)
- Liked: Affordable price (often mentioned)
- Disliked: Tricky application (often mentioned)
- Liked: Smooths lines (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Temporary results (sometimes noted)

## Questions and answers

### Why is Sudden Change Under-Eye Firming Serum a weak match for dry skin?

This product is a weak match for dry skin because it offers only moderate hydration and lacks sufficient oils and butters to keep dry skin fully soft and comfortable. An eye care product for dry skin needs rich moisturizing ingredients like shea butter and sodium hyaluronate to lock in moisture and support the skin barrier.
Sources: [Dermatologic Therapy, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36200921/), [Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25877441/)

### Which ingredients make this serum a poor fit for dry skin?

This serum is a weak match for your dry skin because it lacks enough softening and nourishing oils to lock in lasting moisture. Eye care for dry skin needs rich, moisturizing ingredients like shea butter and sodium hyaluronate to keep the skin barrier strong and comfortable.
Sources: [Dermatologic Therapy, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36200921/)

### What does Hyaluronic Acid do for dry skin?

Hyaluronic acid draws moisture into dry skin, giving an immediate and lasting boost in hydration that helps smooth out fine lines and soften rough patches. It is very gentle and unlikely to cause irritation while improving overall skin smoothness and plumpness.
Sources: [Dermatology and Therapy, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34176098/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/)

### What does Serum Albumin do for dry skin?

Serum albumin helps keep dry skin calm and hydrated by supporting the skin barrier and reducing water loss. This type of product works best when paired with nourishing ingredients that deeply moisturize and soften rough areas.
Sources: [Journal of Tissue Viability, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33248877/), [Pharmaceutical Research, 1999](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10496655/)

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

This product goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing. Because it is a weak match for dry skin, a product of this type needs rich softening ingredients to deeply comfort and hydrate dry skin.

### Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this serum with retinol by applying the serum first to clean skin and following with your retinol and a rich moisturizer to prevent dryness. This product provides moderate hydration from sodium hyaluronate, but dry skin needs extra rich, smoothing ingredients to stay fully comfortable alongside active treatments.
Sources: [Dermatologic Therapy, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36200921/)

### How often should I use it?

This serum is a weak match for dry skin because it offers only moderate hydration and lacks the rich, softening ingredients needed to keep dry skin comfortable. To make a product of this type work for dry skin, it needs extra moisturizing ingredients and heavy softeners to lock in hydration and stop flakiness.

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

This eye serum is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on dry skin, but it may leave a noticeable residue because of its formula. A product for this skin needs rich, softening ingredients to lock in moisture and prevent flaking.

### Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (sd alcohol 40).
