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

Brand: [Estée Lauder](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/brands/estee-lauder)
Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/best/moisturizers)

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 moisturizers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin due to glycerin and hyaluronic acid, but lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control, which is your main goal.
- While squalane and chamomile extract provide general skincare benefits, they are mostly supportive and do not directly address oily shine.

## What the research says

- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Topical application of a vitamin C-squalene bioconjugate significantly increased epidermal thickness, type III collagen production, and glycosaminoglycans production in human skin explants compared to free vitamin C and vitamin C-palmitate. ([Scientific Reports, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33037252/))
- Squalane at 0.005-0.015% counteracts UVA-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and collagen metabolism inhibition while stimulating fibroblast migration in human dermal fibroblasts. ([Molecules, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40363772/))
- Wearing an N95 mask alone compared to using dimethicone cream or hydrocolloid dressing caused more adverse skin reactions among 73 military health care workers, with no significant differences in fit test failure rates between groups. ([Military Medicine, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38771104/))
- A dimethicone skin protectant lotion significantly decreased visual scoring and transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control and SLS-only treated sites in 12 healthy humans exposed to sodium lauryl sulfate. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11428946/))
- Treatment with a moisturizer containing dimethicone and glycerine increased epidermal thickness by 0.019 mm, improved barrier function by decreasing transepidermal water loss by 13%, decreased melanin intensity, and induced keratins 6 and 16 in fifteen women with moderately photoaged forearms. ([Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17137484/))
- The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.

## 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.

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Estée Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ for combination skin?

Lovi advises caution because this treatment offers moderate moisture with glycerin and hyaluronic acid, but lacks the oil control needed for your combination skin. A product of this type needs effective ingredients that reduce oily shine while providing balanced hydration without feeling heavy.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This cream is a poor fit because it lacks the ingredients needed for oil control, which is the main goal for combination skin. To work well for this skin type, a product of this type needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients that reduce oily shine without risk of irritation.

### What does Water do for combination skin?

Water helps keep combination skin hydrated, though a product of this type needs additional barrier-protecting ingredients like ceramides or petrolatum to lock in that moisture and support overall skin health.

### What does Dimethicone do for combination skin?

Dimethicone helps protect combination skin by forming a light barrier that smooths the surface without feeling heavy or greasy. It may keep skin soft and comfortable, though it is unlikely to deeply moisturize dry areas or control excess oil on its own.
Sources: [Military Medicine, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38771104/), [Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24457536/)

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

This moisturizing treatment goes near the end of your evening routine, right before your moisturizer. Because it lacks sufficient oil control for combination skin, this skin type needs ingredients like niacinamide or targeted balancing formulas to manage shine.

### 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 it with this moisturizer, or by using this cream underneath to help calm potential dryness. This type of routine helps keep skin comfortable while using strong treatments, though combination skin also needs lightweight, oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [The Journal of Dermatology, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24930436/)

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is not an ideal fit for combination skin because it lacks oil control, so you would need a lighter, oil-balancing moisturizer with ingredients that target shine.

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

This cream is unlikely to cause breakouts for combination skin, as only a small number of reviewers mention pimples and studies show good overall safety for similar moisturizing ingredients. However, because it lacks strong oil control for your combination skin, this type of product needs ingredients that balance oil and shine.

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

This cream can be used on the body or around the eyes, as these areas generally have much thinner skin than the face. However, because combination skin requires extra oil control, a body or eye product for this skin type needs targeted balancing ingredients and lightweight hydrators like glycerin and hyaluronic acid.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

### Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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