Lovi Assistant explains

  • This formulation is unsuitable for your combination skin because mineral oil and petrolatum can be occlusive and potentially clog pores, which may worsen acne and blemishes. Glycerin offers some hydration, but lacks targeted ingredients for your concerns.
  • The presence of mineral oil and petrolatum, while providing some moisturizing benefits, poses moderate risks of worsening acne and breakouts for you.

People Say

★4.5Overall rating based on 7.5k+ reviews

Based on a very large amount of data, this product is highly regarded for its ability to hydrate normal to dry and sensitive skin, leaving it soft and smooth without a heavy feel. A significant number of users report that it absorbs quickly and is gentle enough for sensitive skin. Some users with very dry skin find it insufficient for long-lasting moisture, and a moderate number of recent reviews indicate a formula change has resulted in a sticky texture or mild irritation.

What the research says
