Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your combination skin, as jojoba seed oil provides emollient action and ylang ylang oil flower offers potential seboregulation, though it lacks targeted ingredients for your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
- The product provides excellent moisturizing benefits due to high concentrations of jojoba seed oil, which hydrates and enhances barrier resilience, supporting general skin health.
- The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your acne-prone skin due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help keep breakouts under control.
- Apply after your cleanser and toner, and make sure to use your SPF right after in the morning.
- Gently spread a small amount of moisturizer over your face using soft motions. Let it absorb into the skin for a minute before getting dressed or applying makeup.
- Apply on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. This keeps your combination skin balanced without feeling heavy.
- Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use. Stop using if you feel any irritation.

What does Jojoba Oil do for acne-prone skin?
Jojoba oil helps calm acne-prone and lesioned skin while reducing breakouts over several weeks of regular use. It also strengthens the skin barrier and provides a safe, soothing effect for irritated areas.
Forschende Komplementarmedizin, 2012International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2022
What does Ylang Ylang Oil do for acne-prone skin?
Ylang Ylang Oil may help acne-prone skin because certain essential oils show potential in managing inflammatory skin conditions and breakouts with fewer adverse reactions than conventional treatments. To properly care for acne-prone skin, a product of this type needs soothing botanical ingredients and antibacterial properties that help calm redness and clear pores.
Pharmaceuticals, 2024Complementary Therapies in Medicine, 2019
Where does this moisturizer go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?
In a routine for acne-prone skin, this moisturizer goes after your hydrating toner in the morning and after your treatment at night. Because this product lacks targeted ingredients for acne and breakouts, an acne-prone skin type also needs ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid to help clear blemishes.
Can I use this moisturizer with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this moisturizer with your retinol, applying the retinol first and then following with the moisturizer to keep your skin soft and comfortable. This type of skin also benefits from a moisturizer with targeted blemish-fighting ingredients and barrier-repairing ceramides to best support breakouts.
How often should I use this moisturizer?
You can use this moisturizer daily in your morning and evening routines. It is unlikely to irritate your acne-prone skin, though acne-prone skin needs targeted ingredients to help with breakouts and blemishes.
Can this moisturizer clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?
This moisturizer is unlikely to cause breakouts or irritation for your acne-prone skin because it has a very safe formula, though some reviewers do report low risks of pimples. To fit acne-prone skin best, a product of this type needs targeted ingredients that actively clear blemishes and prevent breakouts.
Can I use this moisturizer around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizer around the eyes and on your body, as its safe formula is very gentle on delicate areas. Jojoba oil helps hydrate thin skin and supports firmness, while keeping the area soft and comfortable.
