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

Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/es/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.

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

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin due to glycerin's humectant action, but coconut oil and mineral oil are occlusive and may clog pores, making it unsuitable for your oily shine.
- While the formula is free of harsh ingredients and generally safe for combination skin, it lacks sufficient oil-controlling agents to address your primary concern.

## What the research says

- Overnight virgin coconut oil application provides a skin protective effect against damage and increased TEWL from frequent alcohol-based hand sanitizer usage in 60 volunteers, resulting in a 25% increase in perceived moisture content compared to the control group. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34121304/))
- 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/))
- 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/))
- 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/))
- Topical application of an antioxidant serum containing 15% ascorbic acid, 0.5% ferulic acid, and 1% tocopherol prevented particulate matter-induced degradation of extracellular matrix components, inflammation, and oxidative stress in the skin of 15 female volunteers compared to untreated controls. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40642809/))
- Dermatological products containing d-alpha tocopheryl acetate showed non-comedogenic potential with less than a 50% increase in microcomedones in 12 healthy male subjects compared to octyl palmitate. ([Contemporary Clinical Trials Communications, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34471722/))
- Topical application of an antioxidant mix containing 15% ascorbic acid, 0.5% ferulic acid, and 1% tocopherol prevented PM and UV-induced skin barrier perturbation, lipid peroxidation, inflammatory markers, MMP9 activation, and Type I collagen loss in 15 healthy females compared to untreated exposed skin. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38590207/))
- Topical application of 5% vitamin C cream significantly improved global clinical scores, increased skin microrelief density, and induced elastic tissue repair in photoaged skin compared to excipient control in healthy female volunteers. ([Experimental Dermatology, 2003](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12823436/))
- Ascorbic acid 2-glucoside gel significantly reduced gingival melanin pigmentation after 4 weeks compared to placebo in 73 subjects with symmetric pigmentation. ([Journal of Periodontology, 2009](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19186973/))
- Topical application of VC-IP cream twice daily for 8 weeks reduces periorbital wrinkles in female subjects compared to a placebo cream. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34910367/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with NatureWell Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Moisturizing Cream for combination skin?

This cream offers moderate moisture with glycerin, but coconut oil and mineral oil are heavy and may clog pores, which does not suit your oily shine. Combination skin needs a product with effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients that reduce oily shine without adding excess weight or blocking pores.

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

Coconut oil and mineral oil make this cream a poor fit because they are heavy and may clog pores on your oily shine. A moisturizing treatment for combination skin needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients that reduce oily shine without clogging pores, along with soothing agents and antioxidants.

### What does Coconut Oil do for combination skin?

Coconut oil is likely too heavy for combination skin because it can easily clog pores in oilier areas while helping dry patches. For this skin type, a moisturizer needs lighter hydrating ingredients and oils that do not trap oil in the pores.
Sources: [International Journal of Dermatology, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24320105/)

### 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/)

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

This cream is applied as a moisturizer in both the morning and evening routines for combination skin. Because it contains heavy oils that may clog pores on oily areas, combination skin needs a lightweight moisturizer with oil-controlling ingredients.

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

This cream is a poor match for your combination skin because heavy oils may clog your pores and worsen oily shine. To use it with retinol, apply your retinol first, wait for it to absorb, and then follow with this cream to help keep your skin soft.

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for your combination skin because the heavy oils may clog pores and worsen your oily shine. A product for this skin needs oil-controlling agents and lightweight hydration to keep pores clear.

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

Yes, this cream may clog pores and cause breakouts on combination skin because coconut oil and mineral oil are heavy and trap oil in the skin. A moisturizer for this skin needs light, oil-controlling ingredients and humectants that hydrate without adding extra shine.

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

You can use this moisturizing treatment on your body, but it is a poor match for the thin skin around your eyes. A product for the eye area needs lightweight hydrators and soothing ingredients that hydrate safely without clogging pores.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

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

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum, hexyl cinnamal, coumarin, and benzyl alcohol). Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
