Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your combination skin, as glycerin and panthenol provide humectant action to support hydration and barrier resilience, though it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas.
  • The presence of shea butter and squalane offers excellent moisturizing benefits, which are supportive for your acne-prone skin due to their hydrating and calming effects.
  • The product is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help keep breakouts under control.
  • Apply after your cleanser and toner, and make sure to use your SPF right after in the morning.
  • Gently spread a small amount of moisturizer over your face using soft motions. Let it absorb into the skin for a minute before getting dressed or applying makeup.
  • Apply on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. This keeps your combination skin balanced without feeling heavy.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use. Stop using if you feel any irritation.

Questions and answers

How well does ZEROID Intensive Oint Cream work for acne-prone skin?

This cream works moderately well for your acne-prone skin, providing helpful hydration and soothing benefits without any risk of irritation. However, because it lacks sufficient ingredients for oil control on oily areas, a moisturizing treatment for this skin needs ingredients that balance oil while hydrating and soothing breakouts.

The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002

Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for acne-prone skin?

Shea butter and squalane make this cream a good fit for your acne-prone skin because they provide gentle moisture and calming effects, while glycerin and panthenol help support your skin barrier. To work even better for this skin type, a product of this type needs targeted oil-control ingredients.

The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002

What does Cocoa Butter do for acne-prone skin?

Cocoa butter is unlikely to work well for acne-prone skin because it tends to clog pores, and ultraviolet light may make its pore-clogging tendency even stronger. Skin of this type needs lightweight ingredients that hydrate without blocking pores.

The British Journal of Dermatology, 1978

What does Butyrospermum Parkii Butter do for acne-prone skin?

Butyrospermum Parkii Butter can feel quite rich on acne-prone skin and may clog pores for some people. A product of this type needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that balance oil without heavy blockage.

Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?

This moisturizing treatment goes near the end of your routine, right before sunscreen in the morning and as the final step in the evening. It provides soothing hydration, but acne-prone skin also needs targeted ingredients for oil control.

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

You can use this cream with retinol by applying your retinol first and following with the cream to keep your skin calm and hydrated. This type of product needs ingredients like lightweight hydrators and oil-control agents to properly balance acne-prone skin.

How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing treatment twice daily to support your hydration and barrier resilience. Daily application of this type of cream helps improve moisture and calm skin.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021

Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for your acne-prone skin, as it is safe and free of harsh ingredients, though it lacks strong oil control for oily areas. Acne-prone skin needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that balance oil and calm redness without heavy butters.

The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002

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

You can use this moisturizing treatment safely on both your body and the thin skin around your eyes, as it is very gentle and well-tolerated. It helps keep these areas soft and hydrated, though acne-prone skin on the body and face often needs added ingredients to manage excess oil and prevent breakouts.

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017

Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
