Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin due to glycerin and dimethicone, but mineral oil and petrolatum can be occlusive and potentially clog pores, offering limited benefits for managing oilier zones.
  • The formula provides general skincare benefits, but lacks targeted ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to effectively control oily shine, which is your main goal.

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.

Questions and answers

Why does Lovi advise against Lubriderm Daily Moisture Lotion for combination skin?

Which ingredients make this body lotion a poor fit for combination skin?
