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

Brand: [RoC](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/brands/roc)
Category: [Serums and treatments](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/best/serums)

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 serums alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate wrinkle reduction for your combination skin, as retinol and hyaluronic acid hydrate and smooth texture, but lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on oily areas.
- Glycerin and hyaluronic acid provide supportive benefits for oily shine by hydrating the skin.

## What the research says

- Topical bakuchiol 0.5% applied twice daily compared with retinol 0.5% applied daily significantly decreased wrinkle surface area and hyperpigmentation with no statistical difference between the compounds in 44 patients over 12 weeks, while retinol users reported more facial skin scaling and stinging. ([The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29947134/))
- 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/))
- 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. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))
- 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/))

## How to apply

- Use your serum as part of your PM routine. Start using it 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply the serum after cleansing and toner, and right before your moisturizer.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin and wait a minute ⏳for it to soak in.
- Apply the serum on clean and dry skin since your skin is not sensitive.
- Always do a patch test before using the serum for the first time, and avoid the eye area .

## Questions and answers

### Why does ROC Deep Wrinkle Filler need caution for combination skin?

This product gives your combination skin moderate wrinkle smoothing, but it lacks enough ingredients to properly control oil on shiny areas. Treatments that fit this skin well need ingredients like niacinamide, zinc PCA, and propolis to balance oiliness and provide hydration without excess shine.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29947134/)

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

This cream is a poor match for your combination skin because it lacks sufficient oil control on oily areas. To work well for this skin type, a product needs effective ingredients like niacinamide, zinc PCA, and propolis to regulate oiliness and balance hydration without causing excess shine.

### 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 Glycerin do for combination skin?

Glycerin helps keep combination skin soft and smooth by pulling moisture in and keeping it there. It improves hydration and supports your skin barrier, which is unlikely to cause irritation.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and toning, and before moisturizing. Because it is a poor match for your combination skin, a product of this type needs ingredients that offer both wrinkle reduction and sufficient oil control for oily areas.

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

You can use this cream with niacinamide by applying niacinamide first after cleansing, letting it absorb, and then following with this treatment. Combining them helps smooth texture and hydrate dry areas, though a product of this type also needs ingredients for oil control to better manage combination skin.

### How often should I use this cream?

Use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. A product of this type for combination skin needs ingredients that smooth texture while keeping oily areas balanced.
Sources: [Facial Plastic Surgery, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24488631/)

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

This treatment may cause breakouts on combination skin because it lacks enough oil control ingredients for oily areas, and it can also cause purging from the retinol. A product for this skin needs oil-absorbing ingredients and lightweight hydrators to keep pores clear while smoothing texture.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29947134/)

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

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
