Bubble-focused skincare routine for combination skin

Routine by Lovi 路 Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes 路 How the Fit score works

A routine for combination skin built around Bubble products, complemented by other brands where they fit better, for complete care.

Cleansers and toners with amino acids, glycerin, hyaluronic acid, ceramides, licorice root extract, and panthenol help hydrate dry cheeks. Serums and cleansing toners or masks with niacinamide, salicylic acid, BHA, and glycolic acid help control oil in the T-zone and clear out enlarged pores.

The morning routine prepares the skin for the day: it cleans off the night, hydrates, and protects, with sunscreen as its last step. The evening routine removes sunscreen, makeup, and the day's oil, then treats the skin while it rests and is away from the sun. The weekly routine takes the place of the evening routine once a week to add deeper steps like exfoliation and masks.
