The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Germany.

Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/de/best/moisturizers)

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 moisturizers fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing and treatment for your combination skin, as Glycerin and Squalane hydrate and support skin barrier resilience. Gluconolactone and Zinc PCA provide mild exfoliation and oil regulation, which are beneficial but may not fully address the oily shine on your combination skin.
- Centella Asiatica Extract and other botanical extracts offer general soothing and hydration, contributing to overall skin health without specifically targeting excess oil.
- The product is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Erborian Skin Therapy work for combination skin?

Erborian Skin Therapy works moderately well for combination skin by providing light hydration and soothing care, though it may not fully control oily shine. A better fit for this skin type is a product that balances hydration with effective oil control using ingredients like niacinamide and peptides.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/)

### Which ingredients make this oil-serum a good fit for combination skin?

Glycerin, squalane, and sodium hyaluronate make this oil-serum a good fit for combination skin because they help keep your skin hydrated and support your skin barrier. To work best for this skin type, a moisturizing treatment also needs ingredients like ceramides, niacinamide, and peptides for oil control and balanced moisture.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Squalane do for combination skin?

Squalane helps keep combination skin soft and smooth by locking in moisture without feeling heavy or greasy. It supports the skin barrier and provides lightweight hydration that works well for both dry and oily areas.
Sources: [Skin Health and Disease, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39355739/), [Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40001122/)

### What does Centella Asiatica Extract do for combination skin?

Centella Asiatica Extract helps balance combination skin by boosting moisture levels while keeping redness and irritation calm. It also supports skin barrier repair to help maintain smooth and healthy skin overall.
Sources: [Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27168678/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Where does this oil-serum go in a skincare routine for combination skin?

This oil-serum goes in the evening routine as a treatment step after cleansing and toning. It is safe for combination skin, but to properly manage oily shine, this skin needs ingredients that specifically target excess oil and provide stronger oil regulation.

### Can I use this oil-serum with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this moisturizing treatment in your evening routine along with retinol. Apply the oil-serum after your retinol step, or use it to help keep your skin comfortable while adjusting to stronger products. Combination skin of this type needs targeted oil-balancing ingredients and lightweight hydrators to properly manage oily shine.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this oil-serum?

This oil-serum works well for your combination skin when used in the evening as part of your routine. Daily application helps keep skin soft and calm, though combination skin also benefits from ingredients that specifically target oily shine.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/)

### Can this oil-serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?

This oil-serum is unlikely to cause breakouts or clogging on your combination skin because it has a safe formula without harsh ingredients, though it may leave a slight oily finish. Combination skin typically needs lightweight balancing ingredients like niacinamide or targeted oil-absorbing minerals to fully manage shine and keep pores clear.

### Can I use this oil-serum around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this moisturizing treatment on your body and around the eyes, as its gentle formula is safe for delicate skin. However, because the skin around the eyes is exceptionally thin while body skin is much thicker, you may need targeted eye creams and richer body lotions for best results.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

### Is this oil-serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum, hexyl cinnamal, linalool, and citronellol).
