Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers excellent moisturizing for your combination skin due to C13-15 Alkane and Glycerin, which hydrate and smooth texture, though it lacks targeted ingredients for your oily shine.
  • Vitis Vinifera Fruit Extract and Lactic Acid provide some antioxidant activity and mild exfoliation, but may not fully address the needs of both oily and dry areas.
  • The product is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing components like Glycerin and Sunflower Seed Oil.

How to apply

  • Use this moisturizer in your AM and PM routine every day to control shine. Always pair with SPF in the morning.
  • Apply this moisturizer after your cleanser and toner, right before your morning SPF.
  • Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin and avoid harsh rubbing. Let it ⏳absorb for a minute.
  • Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help it lock in moisture better. This keeps your combination skin balanced.
  • Avoid the eye area when applying the moisturizer. Do a patch test before your first use.

People Say

Questions and answers

Why is KORRES Velvet Skin Drink a weak match for combination skin?

This moisturizing treatment is a weak match because it lacks targeted ingredients to reduce oily shine and may not fully address the needs of both oily and dry areas. A product of this type needs brightening and moisturizing ingredients, soothing agents, and antioxidants that target hydration while reducing shine without causing irritation or imbalance.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this treatment a poor fit for combination skin?

This treatment is a weak match for your combination skin because it lacks targeted ingredients for your oily shine. To work well for this skin type, a moisturizing treatment needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients that reduce oily shine without risk of irritation, along with soothing agents and antioxidants.

What does Resveratrol do for combination skin?

Resveratrol helps balance combination skin by fighting daily environmental stress and keeping your skin looking bright and smooth. It may also help calm areas prone to redness and support a healthy, even texture without feeling heavy.

Molecules, 2023Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2020

What does Santorini Grape Extract do for combination skin?

Santorini Grape Extract helps calm combination skin by reducing inflammation and protecting against damage caused by UV rays and everyday stress. It is unlikely to cause irritation and supports an even, smooth look for both dry and oily areas.

Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy = Biomedecine & Pharmacotherapie, 2018

Where does this treatment go in a skincare routine for combination skin?

This treatment goes in your evening routine after cleansing and toning, followed by your moisturizer. Combination skin needs a product that provides lightweight hydration for dry areas while helping control oily shine.

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

You can use this treatment with retinol by applying your retinol first in the evening, letting it absorb, and then following with this treatment. This product is safe for your skin with no risks of irritation, though a product for combination skin also needs targeted ingredients to manage oily shine.

How often should I use this treatment?

You can use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. It is safe for your combination skin and is unlikely to cause irritation, though it lacks targeted ingredients to balance both oily and dry areas, meaning combination skin needs lightweight hydrators and oil-control components.

Can this treatment clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?

This treatment is unlikely to cause breakouts or clogged pores for combination skin, as it has a low risk of causing breakouts and contains soothing ingredients like glycerin and sunflower seed oil. It is also safe for your skin, with no risk of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

This treatment is safe to use around the eyes and on the body since it has a gentle makeup with soothing ingredients like glycerin and sunflower seed oil. However, because combination skin needs a balance of oil control and hydration, a product for this skin type needs targeted ingredients that manage shine in oily areas while deeply hydrating dry zones.

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002

Is this treatment fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It contains fragrance (parfum) and drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
