([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/)) ## Why other products fit combination skin better - Topical benzoyl peroxide 5% gel treatment improved acne severity, sebum, stratum corneum hydration, and transepidermal water loss, while significantly reducing microbial diversity and the prevalence of Cutibacterium in 33 patients with acne vulgaris.

ONE/SIZE OIL SUCKER Primer offers moderate mattifying for combination skin, as silica absorbs excess oil and dimethicone gives a smooth finish. While it safely provides some hydration without irritation, it lacks specialized ingredients to directly target oily shine. A product of this type needs effective hydrating ingredients, balancing extracts, and components that manage oily shine and acne without causing irritation to truly fit combination skin. Sources: [International Journal of Toxicology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22247236/) ### Which ingredients make this primer a good fit for combination skin? Silica helps absorb excess oil to provide moderate mattifying for combination skin, while dimethicone leaves a smooth finish without clogging pores. A product of this type needs ingredients that effectively target oily shine and acne, along with balanced hydration like niacinamide and snail mucin, to be a better fit for this skin. Sources: [International Journal of Toxicology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22247236/) ### 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 Dimethicone do for combination skin? Dimethicone helps protect combination skin by forming a light barrier that smooths the surface without feeling heavy or greasy. It may keep skin soft and comfortable, though it is unlikely to deeply moisturize dry areas or control excess oil on its own. Sources: [Military Medicine, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38771104/), [Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24457536/) ### Where does this primer go in a skincare routine for combination skin? This makeup primer goes on in the morning after your moisturizer and SPF, right before your makeup. The formula helps manage oil and leaves a smooth finish without clogging pores, though combination skin needs extra ingredients that directly target oily shine. Sources: [International Journal of Toxicology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22247236/) ### Can I use this primer with salicylic acid, and in what order? You can use this primer after applying salicylic acid once the acid has fully dried. This helps keep your combination skin smooth without clogging pores, though combination skin also needs targeted ingredients that directly control oily shine. ### How often should I use this primer? You can use this makeup primer daily as part of your morning routine to help control shine and give your skin a smooth finish. Because it lacks specialized ingredients to directly target oily shine, combination skin benefits most from a primer containing oil-absorbing minerals and lightweight smoothing silicones. Sources: [International Journal of Toxicology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22247236/) ### Can this primer clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin? This primer is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for your combination skin. The formula is safe and gentle, using ingredients like dimethicone that give a smooth finish without blocking pores. A product for this skin needs specialized ingredients to directly target oily shine. Sources: [International Journal of Toxicology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22247236/) ### Is this primer fragrance-free and alcohol-free? Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. ## Alternatives for combination skin - [Perricone MD Intensive Pore Minimizing Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/perricone-md/intensive-pore-minimizing-toner/for/combination-skin) — Average fit — CA$52.13 at Amazon - [Good Molecules Niacinamide Brightening Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/good-molecules/niacinamide-brightening-toner/for/combination-skin) — Average fit — CA$38.90 at Amazon - [Dr. Hauschka Clarifying Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/dr-hauschka/clarifying-toner/for/combination-skin) — High fit — CA$55.00 at Shoppers Drug Mart ## Pairs well with - Cleanser: [Fresh Soy Face Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/fresh/soy-face-cleanser/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — CA$44.95 at Amazon - Hydrating Toner: [Paula's Choice Pore-Reducing Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/paula-s-choice/skin-balancing-pore-reducing-toner/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — CA$37.60 at Amazon - Moisturizer: [COSRX Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/p/cosrx/oil-free-ultra-moisturizing-lotion-with-birch-sap/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — CA$29.98 at Amazon ## Where to buy No store in Canada has a checked price for this product, so the page shows none. ## Ingredients Water, Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane, Silica, Glycerin, Polysilicone-11, Sodium Chloride, Phenoxyethanol, Caprylyl Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Disodium Edta ## About the Lovi Fit Lovi: Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes.
