Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing and treatment for your combination skin, as hyaluronic acid and niacinamide hydrate and improve skin tone, with niacinamide also helping with seboregulation. Blackberry leaf extract and calendula extract provide additional soothing benefits, which are generally supportive for your skin type.
- While the product offers general skincare benefits like hydration and soothing, it lacks targeted ingredients to specifically address your main concern of oily shine.
- The product is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components like Bisabolol and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice.
How to apply
- Use this moisturizer in your AM and PM routine every day to control shine. Always pair with SPF in the morning.
- Apply this moisturizer after your cleanser and toner, right before your morning SPF.
- Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin and avoid harsh rubbing. Let it ⏳absorb for a minute.
- Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help it lock in moisture better. This keeps your combination skin balanced.
- Avoid the eye area when applying the moisturizer. Do a patch test before your first use.

Questions and answers
How well does Rejuran Dual Effect Ampoule work for combination skin?
This ampoule works moderately well for combination skin because it hydrates dry areas and calms the skin with soothing extracts, but it lacks targeted ingredients to control oily shine. To work best for this skin type, a product needs effective hydrating and oil-controlling ingredients like niacinamide and ceramides that balance moisture without adding excess oil.
The British Journal of Dermatology, 2002Scientific Reports, 2024
Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for combination skin?
Hyaluronic acid and niacinamide make this serum a good fit by hydrating your skin and balancing oil, while blackberry leaf and calendula extracts calm it. A moisturizing treatment for combination skin also needs ingredients that target oily shine, provide effective hydration without extra oiliness, and use ceramides to support the skin barrier.
What does Blackberry Leaf Extract do for combination skin?
Blackberry Leaf Extract helps hydrate and smooth combination skin by supporting moisture balance in both dry and oily areas. It is unlikely to clog pores and may help keep your skin feeling soft throughout the day.
What does Licorice Extract do for combination skin?
Licorice extract helps calm redness and balances uneven skin tone for combination skin. It also protects skin from daily oxidative stress and helps soothe irritated areas.
Experimental Dermatology, 2015The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2003
Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for combination skin?
This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and toning, and before moisturizing. Putting treatments in the evening keeps the routine simple and adds extra safety around sun exposure.
Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this treatment with retinol by applying it right before your retinol in the evening. Using a soothing, hydrating treatment with ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid helps calm your skin and may lower the dryness and irritation often caused by retinol.
How often should I use this serum?
You can use this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. It is safe for your skin, though a product for combination skin also needs targeted ingredients to control oily shine.
Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?
This serum is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for combination skin, as it contains no harsh ingredients and includes soothing components like bisabolol and aloe vera. However, because it lacks targeted ingredients for oily shine, combination skin may need products that help control excess oil.
Can I use this serum around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizing treatment around your eyes and on your body, as it has a very good safety profile and lacks harsh ingredients. However, because the skin around the eyes and on parts of the body can be quite thin, a product for this skin needs gentle hydration and soothing ingredients to protect against irritation.
Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
