This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with combination skin: an oily T-zone, enlarged pores, and dry cheeks. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

Works for combination skin; other eye cares fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate plumping and firming for your combination skin due to Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2, which provide supportive hydration and soothing benefits that can help with oily shine. Glycerin and Shea Butter offer humectant and emollient actions, but the formula lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control.
- The product is safe for your combination skin as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients, minimizing the risk of irritation.
- Overall, it provides general skincare benefits that are supportive for your skin concerns.

## What the research says

- A single application of a moisturizing fluid containing hyaluronic acid 1%, glycerin 5%, and Centella asiatica stem cells extract significantly increased skin hydration by 29% and reduced transepidermal water loss at 24 hours compared to baseline and an untreated control site in twenty healthy women. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Treatment of immortalized human keratinocytes with Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 increased cell stiffness across its concentration range, while Acetyl Hexapeptide-50 increased stiffness at 0.05 µg/ml but decreased it at 0.5 and 5 µg/ml compared to untreated controls. ([International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30416406/))
- Topical sunscreen formulations containing caffeine combined with UV filters increased in vivo anti-UVB protection by approximately 25% and showed higher SPF values compared to caffeine-free sunscreen, while being well tolerated by the skin of healthy subjects. ([Frontiers in Physiology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31130869/))
- A topical cosmetic slimming product containing tetrahydroxypropyl ethylenediamine, caffeine, carnitine, forskolin and retinol significantly reduced body circumferences and improved skin aspect compared with placebo in 78 women over 12 weeks. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21564138/))
- Caffeine gel combined with choline geranate showed high skin permeation capacity and superior clinical results in cellulite treatment compared to caffeine gel without ionic liquid. ([AAPS PharmSciTech, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33796955/))
- Caffeine stimulates metabolic activity in hair follicles and acts as an antioxidant through adenosine pathway interactions, showing potential as an effective and safe management option for hair loss despite current study limitations. ([Molecules, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39795223/))
- A combination cream of stimu-tex AS and saccharide isomerate reduced erythema, increased skin capacitance, and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to placebo in 20 subjects after fractional CO2 laser procedure without causing serious adverse events. ([Lasers in Medical Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41134387/))
- A skin barrier restoring cream with shea butter, silkflo, and vitamin E increased type I procollagen synthesis, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, decreased reactive oxygen species generation, and promoted hyaluronic acid production in H2O2-stimulated human keratinocyte cells compared to untreated cells. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39528438/))
- Topical escin promotes angiogenic behavior and enhances adenosine-induced perfusion in humans by activating Wnt signaling via Gsk3beta down-regulation. ([Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41150788/))
- External use of escin reduced acute and chronic cutaneous inflammation and edema in rat and mouse models by down-regulating PGE2, TNF-α, and IL-1β, promoting glucocorticoid receptor expression, and inhibiting NF-κB and AP-1 expressions.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Clarins Total Eye Lift work for combination skin?

Clarins Total Eye Lift works reasonably well for combination skin, offering moderate plumping and soothing hydration, though other products fit this skin type better. Combination skin needs targeted ingredients that balance oil production while providing gentle hydration.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30416406/)

### Which ingredients make this eye care a good fit for combination skin?

Albizia Julibrissin Bark Extract and Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 make this eye care a fit for your combination skin by offering supportive hydration and soothing benefits that help manage oily shine. Because it lacks sufficient oil-controlling ingredients, products of this type need targeted ingredients that balance oil production alongside gentle hydrators to fully suit combination skin.
Sources: [International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30416406/)

### What does Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 do for combination skin?

Acetyl Tetrapeptide-2 helps strengthen the skin and maintains its firmness across different areas of combination skin. This ingredient is well suited for daily use to support elasticity and keep the skin looking firm.
Sources: [International Journal of Peptide Research and Therapeutics, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30416406/)

### What does Caffeine do for combination skin?

Topical caffeine helps combination skin by protecting cells against UV radiation with antioxidant properties and increasing skin microcirculation. It is generally well tolerated and may also help prevent excessive fat accumulation in oil-prone areas.
Sources: [Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23075568/), [Frontiers in Physiology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31130869/)

### Where does it go in a skincare routine for combination skin?

This eye care product goes in your morning and evening routine after cleansing and toning, and before your moisturizer and sunscreen. Because it works well enough for your skin type but lacks strong oil control, combination skin needs products that balance hydration with ingredients to manage excess oil.

### Can I use this eye care with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this eye care with retinol by applying the retinol first, letting it absorb, and then following with this eye product. It is unlikely to irritate your combination skin, but because it lacks ingredients for optimal oil control, combination skin needs oil-balancing and lightweight mattifying ingredients.

### How often should I use it?

You can use this eye care product daily as part of your morning or evening routine. Combination skin works well with this formula, though it needs added oil-controlling ingredients for an optimal fit.

### Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?

This eye care is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on your combination skin because it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients that trigger irritation. However, since it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control, combination skin of this type needs formulas with targeted oil-balancing ingredients and lightweight hydrators to fully manage shine.

### Is this eye care fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It contains fragrance (parfum) and drying alcohol (alcohol).
