Lovi Assistant explains
- This cream offers moderate benefits for your combination skin, with niacinamide and peptides supporting barrier repair and elasticity, though it does not directly address your primary concern of oily shine.
- Glycerin and other emollients provide general hydration and soothing effects suitable for combination skin, but they do not offer targeted solutions for excess oil.
- The formula is safe for your combination skin, containing no harsh ingredients that would cause irritation.
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.
People Say

Questions and answers
How well does BIOHEAL BOH Probioderm Lifting Cream work for combination skin?
This cream works moderately well for your combination skin, with niacinamide and peptides supporting barrier repair and elasticity, though it does not directly address oily shine. To better fit combination skin, a product of this type needs targeted solutions that reduce excess oil while providing balanced hydration and brightness.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Scientific Reports, 2024
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for combination skin?
Glycerin, niacinamide, and peptides make this cream a good fit by providing general hydration and supporting barrier repair and elasticity. To truly excel for combination skin, this type of product needs ingredients that directly reduce oily shine while keeping the skin balanced and comfortable.
Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017Scientific Reports, 2024
What do Peptides do for combination skin?
Peptides help combination skin by keeping it smooth, supporting firmness, and boosting hydration. They also help reduce the appearance of lines and encourage skin repair, though absorption depends on the formula.
International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2025Food & Function, 2019
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.
Dermatology and Therapy, 2021Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for combination skin?
This moisturizing treatment goes in your morning routine after toner and before sunscreen, and in your evening routine as the final step after your treatment product. It is safe for your skin and provides general hydration and soothing effects, though a product for combination skin also needs ingredients that directly address excess oily shine.
The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Can I use this cream with vitamin C, and in what order?
You can use this moisturizing treatment with vitamin C by applying your vitamin C first in the morning, letting it absorb, and then following with this cream. This routine is generally safe and helps provide good hydration for combination skin, though this skin type also needs oil-controlling ingredients to manage excess shine.
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizing treatment twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine. Regular application helps keep your skin soft and supported, though a product for combination skin also needs ingredients that target oily shine.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
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 contains no harsh ingredients that typically trigger irritation. However, because it can feel a bit heavy and does not control oily shine, combination skin generally needs a lighter, oil-balancing moisturizer that targets excess oil while keeping hydration in check.
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
This cream is generally safe to use on the body or around the eyes, though the skin there is much thinner than on the face. Because of this, a product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and gentle soothing ingredients to care for delicate or body areas without feeling heavy.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
