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

Brand: [MAËLYS](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/brands/maelys)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with combination skin: an oily T-zone, enlarged pores, and dry cheeks. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A poor match for combination skin; the products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Low suitability for your combination skin as Dimethicone and Silica may exacerbate oiliness, though Glycerin and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid offer beneficial hydration for drier areas.
- Chondrus Crispus and Chlorella Vulgaris Extract provide moderate firming and barrier support, but these benefits are secondary to the potential for increased oiliness.

## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, users frequently report that this serum helps improve skin texture, firmness, and hydration, particularly for concerns like loose skin, stretch marks, and cellulite. While many appreciate the lightweight, non-greasy feel and pleasant scent, results are often described as temporary, requiring consistent, long-term use to maintain the visible tightening and smoothing effects. This should definitely be taken into account.

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with the MAËLYS RE-LURE Tight & Tone Body Serum for combination skin?

Lovi advises caution because dimethicone and silica may increase oily shine on your skin, even though glycerin and hyaluronic acid provide helpful moisture for dry areas. A body care product for combination skin needs balanced hydrators and lightweight soothing ingredients that hydrate dry zones without adding excess oil.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Dimethicone and silica may exacerbate oiliness on your combination skin, making this body serum a poor fit. Combination skin needs products with effective hydrating and skin-repairing ingredients, ceramides, niacinamide, and sodium hyaluronate to maintain balance and optimal moisture levels without excess oiliness.

### What does Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid do for combination skin?

Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid helps keep combination skin hydrated and balanced without feeling heavy. It draws moisture into the skin while being lightweight enough to avoid making oily areas slick.
Sources: [Colloids and Surfaces. B, Biointerfaces, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36279763/)

### What does Aloe Vera Leaf Juice do for combination skin?

Aloe vera leaf juice helps keep combination skin hydrated by increasing water content without making it oily. It also helps calm redness and supports skin recovery.
Sources: [Skin Research and Technology, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17026654/), [Clinical Pharmacology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30588129/)

### Where does this body serum go in a skincare routine for combination skin?

This body serum is a treatment step that goes in the evening routine. Combination skin needs lightweight hydration and firming ingredients without heavy silicones that make oily areas greasy.

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

This product is a poor match for your combination skin because certain ingredients may increase oiliness, so you should use caution when pairing it with retinol. A product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and balancing ingredients that control shine while keeping drier areas comfortable.

### How often should I use this body serum?

This body serum is a poor match for your combination skin because ingredients like dimethicone and silica may make oiliness worse. A product of this type needs balancing hydrators and lightweight soothing ingredients to keep skin comfortable without feeling greasy.

### Can this body serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?

This body serum may not be the best match for combination skin because ingredients like dimethicone and silica can increase oiliness and potentially lead to clogged pores or breakouts. To care for combination skin, a body product needs lightweight, oil-balancing hydrators that hydrate dry patches without adding extra oil.

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

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