Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your combination skin as ethylhexyl palmitate and olive oil provide emollient action, though it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas.
- The presence of chamomile extract and shea butter offers general cleansing and soothing benefits supportive for your oily shine, but these are not targeted for your specific concerns.
- The formula is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components like Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract.

What the research says
Apigenin protects against UVA-induced cytotoxicity and senescence in normal human dermal fibroblasts, decreases MMP-1 expression, and when applied topically as a cream in human subjects, increases dermal density and elasticity while reducing fine wrinkle length, skin evenness, moisture content, and transepidermal water loss compared to control cream.
