This product works moderately well for your combination skin, providing smooth hydration without targeting oily shine specifically. It is safe and unlikely to cause irritation, but combination skin needs a moisturizing treatment that also includes targeted ingredients to reduce oily shine and brighten the skin. Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/) ### Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for combination skin? Glycerin and Dimethicone make this cream a fit by helping provide hydration and smooth your skin without feeling harsh. Because it lacks ingredients that target oily shine specifically, a moisturizing treatment for combination skin needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients along with soothing agents to reduce shine and balance the skin. Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/) ### What does Skingenecellmei do for combination skin? Skingenecellmei helps balance combination skin by targeting dryness and smoothing out uneven texture. It supports a soft and healthy look across both dry and oily areas. This ingredient is generally well tolerated with a very safe profile. ### What does Green Tea Extract do for combination skin? Green tea extract helps calm combination skin and keeps oil in check while soothing dry areas. It may also help reduce breakouts and improve skin clarity by targeting inflammation. Sources: [Phytotherapy Research, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32812270/) ### Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for combination skin? This treatment goes in your evening routine after cleansing and toning, and before your moisturizer. It is unlikely to cause irritation on combination skin, though a product of this type for your skin needs ingredients that specifically target oily shine. Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/) ### Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order? You can use this moisturizing treatment with retinol, applying the treatment after your retinol absorbs to help keep your skin soft and smooth. This product is unlikely to cause irritation, but combination skin also needs balancing ingredients that control oily shine. ### How often should I use this cream? You can use this moisturizing treatment daily as part of your evening routine to keep your combination skin soft and smooth. Because this product does not specifically target oily shine, combination skin also needs lightweight ingredients like niacinamide or green tea extract to balance oil production while keeping hydration steady. Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/) ### Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin? This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for combination skin, as reviewers rarely report clogged pores and the formula lacks harsh ingredients. However, because it provides general hydration without targeting oily shine, combination skin usually needs lightweight, oil-balancing ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid. ### Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body? You can safely use this moisturizing treatment on the thin skin around your eyes and on your body, as the formula is gentle and unlikely to cause irritation. However, because combination skin needs a product that helps manage oily shine while hydrating, this type of cream works best when it also includes targeted oil-control ingredients. Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/) ### Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free? It contains fragrance (parfum) and drying alcohol (alcohol denat). ## Alternatives for combination skin - [Some By Mi Yuja Niacin Brightening Moisture Gel Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/some-by-mi/yuja-niacin-brightening-moisture-gel-cream/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 91.81 at Amazon - [The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/the-ordinary/natural-moisturizing-factors-ha/for/combination-skin) — High fit — AED 65.00 at Amazon - [Anua Heartleaf 78% Soothing Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/anua/heartleaf-78-soothing-cream/for/combination-skin) — High fit — AED 71.00 at Amazon ## Pairs well with - Cleanser: [Fresh Soy Face Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/fresh/soy-face-cleanser/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 84.53 at Amazon - Hydrating Toner: [Paula's Choice Pore-Reducing Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/paula-s-choice/skin-balancing-pore-reducing-toner/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 145.00 at Amazon - Pre-Cleanser: [Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/p/shu-uemura/ultime8-sublime-beauty-cleansing-oil/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — AED 179.45 at Amazon ## Where to buy No store in United Arab Emirates has a checked price for this product, so the page shows none. ## Ingredients Skingenecellenmei, Uji Green Tea Extract, Oshima Sakura Leaf Extract, Angelica Archangelica Root Extract, Water, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Alcohol Denat, Butylene Glycol, Peg Ppg-14 7 Dimethyl Ether, Peg-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Sodium Metabisulfite, Parfum ## About the Lovi Fit Lovi: Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes.
