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

Brand: [Bioderma](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/brands/bioderma)
Category: [Eye care and eye patches](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/best/eye-creams)

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.

A poor match for combination skin; the eye cares alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate hydration for your combination skin, with glycerin and xylitol providing humectant action, but it lacks sufficient ingredients to fully address your oily shine concerns.
- While the formula is generally safe and free from harsh irritants for your combination skin, the licorice root extract and caffeine offer minimal support for managing excess oil.

## What the research says

- A formulation containing glycerol (5%) and xylitol (5%) applied twice daily for 14 days increased skin hydration, filaggrin protein quantity, interdigitation index, and biomechanical properties, and decreased transepidermal water loss compared to untreated and vehicle-treated skin in twelve volunteers with dry skin. ([Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27349297/))
- 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/))
- Topical caffeine acts as an active cosmetic compound by preventing excessive fat accumulation through phosphodiesterase inhibition, protecting cells against UV radiation with antioxidant properties, increasing skin microcirculation, and stimulating hair growth via 5-alpha-reductase inhibition. ([Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2013](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23075568/))
- The 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, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Ten 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, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- Niacinamide/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. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))
- 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/))
- 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/))
- 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/))
- Combining 755 nm alexandrite laser with topical licorice gel significantly reduces terminal hair counts compared to alexandrite laser with placebo in women with idiopathic hirsutism. ([Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26273313/))
- Licochalcone A activated Nrf2 signaling, elevated cytoprotective enzymes, increased the reduced-to-oxidized glutathione ratio, and decreased reactive oxygen species in human fibroblasts and neutrophils, while a LicA-rich licorice extract lowered UVA-induced oxidative processes in vivo. ([Experimental Dermatology, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25381913/))
- Bioactive glycyrrhizic acid and oxymatrine ionic liquid self-assembled nanomicelles significantly promoted the transdermal permeation, subcutaneous retention, and anti-photoaging efficacy of palmitoyl pentapeptide-4 in cellular and animal models compared to unformulated peptide. ([Advanced Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39783908/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Bioderma Sensibio Eye+ for combination skin?

Lovi advises caution because this eye care only offers moderate hydration while lacking sufficient ingredients to control oily shine on combination skin. A product of this type needs soothing and hydrating ingredients that balance oil production and manage excess oil without causing irritation.
Sources: [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27349297/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Glycerin and xylitol provide moderate hydration, but this cream lacks sufficient ingredients to balance oily shine on combination skin. A product of this type needs soothing and hydrating ingredients that effectively control oil production without causing irritation to suit combination skin.
Sources: [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27349297/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What does Glycerin do for combination skin?

Glycerin helps keep combination skin soft and smooth by pulling moisture in and keeping it there. It improves hydration and supports your skin barrier, which is unlikely to cause irritation.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This cream is best suited for targeted eye care rather than the full face, but combination skin requires an eye product that also helps manage excess oil and shine. An ideal product of this type needs lightweight hydrators paired with oil-balancing ingredients to keep the eye area comfortable without adding unwanted sheen.
Sources: [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27349297/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

You can use this eye cream with retinol, applying it before your retinol product to help keep the delicate eye area comfortable. The formula has a safe and gentle profile, though it is unlikely to help much with oily shine and works best when paired with oil-controlling ingredients like niacinamide or salicylic acid.

### How often should I use this cream?

This eye cream may be used twice daily as part of your routine, though it offers only moderate hydration and lacks ingredients to manage oily shine. Combination skin needs lightweight hydrators paired with balancing ingredients like niacinamide or clay to help control excess oil.
Sources: [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27349297/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on combination skin, as it is generally safe and free from harsh irritants. However, because it is a poor match for your skin type, an eye care product for combination skin needs extra ingredients to help balance oily shine.

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

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum).
