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 suitability for your combination skin, as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide essential hydration to plump the skin and address general dryness. However, the formula lacks sufficient ingredients to effectively manage oil control on your oily zones.
- While the product offers excellent moisturizing benefits, it does not specifically target your concern of oily shine.
- The safety profile is good, with no indications of irritation for your combination skin due to the absence of harsh or prohibited ingredients.

## 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/))
- A novel facial serum containing apple stem cell extract, pro-collagen lipopeptide, creatine, and urea improved mitochondrial function in human senescent cultured fibroblasts and demonstrated anti-wrinkle, dermal density, and skin elasticity benefits in 32 women with sensitive skin applied twice daily for 28 days compared to baseline. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26424007/))
- Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/))
- Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction. ([Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34623507/))
- Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days. ([BMC Oral Health, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31311529/))
- Over-the-counter retinol products provided only weak evidence for a mild ameliorating effect on fine facial skin wrinkle lines in randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trials, and major methodological flaws call the validity of positive results into question. ([The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34980969/))
- A cosmetic niacinamide/peptide/retinyl propionate regimen significantly improved periorbital wrinkle appearance relative to a 0.02% tretinoin regimen at 8 weeks with comparable benefits at 24 weeks, while demonstrating significantly better tolerability in 196 women. ([The British Journal of Dermatology, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20374604/))
- A novel triple-active cosmetic formulation containing 4-hexylresorcinol, retinyl propionate, and niacinamide improved the visual appearance of photoageing similarly to 0.02% tretinoin and reversed a consensus gene signature associated with ageing in female adults while causing less skin irritation. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38685700/))
- 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/))

## Questions and answers

### How well does Fièra Apple Stem Cell Cream work for combination skin?

This cream works moderately well for combination skin because it provides essential hydration to keep dry areas soft, but it lacks sufficient ingredients to manage oil on your shiny zones. To fit combination skin better, a product of this type needs effective ingredients that control oily shine while maintaining balanced moisture without irritation.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Glycerin and sodium hyaluronate make this cream a moderate fit for combination skin by providing essential hydration, though a product of this type needs additional oil control ingredients, brightening agents, and soothing components to truly manage oily zones and reduce shine.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What do Apple Stem Cells do for combination skin?

Apple stem cells help protect and refresh your skin to keep it looking young and smooth. Using this ingredient may improve skin elasticity and reduce the look of wrinkles while being gentle enough for sensitive areas.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26424007/), [Acta Poloniae Pharmaceutica, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25362798/)

### What does Hyaluronic Acid do for combination skin?

Hyaluronic acid is a great fit for combination skin because it quenches dry areas with a boost of hydration while keeping oily zones balanced. Regular use helps smooth out fine lines and makes your skin feel soft and plump without causing irritation.
Sources: [Dermatology and Therapy, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34176098/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/)

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

This moisturizing treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and a cleansing toner, followed by a moisturizer. A product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and oil-control ingredients to properly balance combination skin.

### Can I use this cream with vitamin C, and in what order?

You can use this cream with vitamin C by applying your vitamin C serum first, letting it absorb, and then following with this moisturizer. This routine helps protect and hydrate your skin while keeping the application gentle and well-tolerated.

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing treatment twice daily to keep your skin hydrated and smooth. Regular daily application helps improve overall skin moisture and texture, though a combination skin product of this type also needs oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine in your oily zones.
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 cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?

This cream is unlikely to cause irritation or breakouts on combination skin due to its safe ingredients, but because it focuses on heavy moisture rather than oil control, combination skin needs lightweight hydrators and balancing ingredients to stay clear.

### Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?

You can use this cream on your body and around the eyes, as it has a good safety profile with no harsh ingredients likely to cause irritation on thin areas. To properly care for the thin skin around the eyes and body, a product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and gentle nourishing oils that protect delicate areas without feeling heavy.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

### Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
