Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for your combination skin, as glycerin and hyaluronic acid provide excellent hydration and plumping effects, but lack targeted ingredients for oil control.
- The formula is safe for your combination skin, with no harsh ingredients that would cause irritation.
- While it provides general hydration benefits, it does not specifically address your concern of oily shine.
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
Why is Sisley Hydra-Global a weak match for combination skin?
Sisley Hydra-Global offers moderate hydration through glycerin and hyaluronic acid, but it lacks targeted ingredients for oil control to help with your oily shine. A product of this type needs brightening ingredients, soothing agents, and antioxidants that reduce oily shine while keeping combination skin balanced and well-hydrated.
Which ingredients make this treatment a poor fit for combination skin?
This treatment is a weak match for your combination skin because it lacks ingredients to control oily shine, even though it includes glycerin and hyaluronic acid for hydration. Combination skin needs products with effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients that reduce oily shine without irritation, along with soothing agents and antioxidants.
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 Butylene Glycol do for combination skin?
Butylene glycol helps boost the absorption of other ingredients into combination skin while keeping the skin feeling soft. It may also help draw moisture into dry areas, though formulations need the right balance of soothing lipids and water-attracting ingredients to properly care for combination skin.
Where does this treatment go in a skincare routine for combination skin?
This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and toning, and before moisturizing. Combination skin needs a product of this type to include ingredients like niacinamide or oil-control actives that manage shine while keeping skin hydrated.
Can I use this treatment with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this treatment with retinol, applying the treatment first to provide hydration before your retinol product. The formula is unlikely to irritate your combination skin, but since it does not address oily shine, a product of this type for combination skin needs added oil-controlling ingredients to balance oil.

How often should I use this treatment?
You can use this moisturizing treatment in the evening as part of your routine. Daily application helps improve skin moisture and barrier function, though combination skin also needs targeted ingredients for oil control.
Health Science Reports, 2021Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020
Can this treatment clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?
This treatment is unlikely to cause breakouts or purging for combination skin, as it has a safe formula with no harsh ingredients that would cause irritation. However, because it lacks targeted ingredients for oil control, a product for this skin type needs oil-absorbing and balancing ingredients to keep oily shine under control.
Can I use this treatment around the eyes or on my body?
This treatment can be used around the eyes or on the body, as its formula is safe for skin with no harsh ingredients that would cause irritation. However, because skin is thinnest around areas like the eyelids and varies greatly in thickness across the body, a moisturizing treatment of this type needs targeted hydration and soothing ingredients to properly care for those specific areas.
Is this treatment fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum).
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, 2017Topical hyaluronic acid filler serum combined with Botulinum toxin type A lengthened the duration of the toxin's effect in reducing wrinkles compared to Botulinum toxin type A alone.
Dermatologic Therapy, 2022The emollient V0034CR significantly reduced TEWL compared to vehicle and vehicle plus glycerol, and significantly increased corneometry scores compared to vehicle and vehicle plus petrolatum in healthy volunteers with dry skin, demonstrating combined barrier function improvement from petrolatum and hydration improvement from glycerol.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Ten days of treatment with a cream containing 20% glycerin significantly increased skin hydration measured by corneometer values in 17 healthy volunteers compared to a placebo cream, but showed no influence on transepidermal water loss or skin sensitivity to an irritating surfactant.
International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2001Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects.
