Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate exfoliation due to citric acid, which is suitable for your combination skin and provides mild exfoliation and humectant action with glycerin.
  • The product offers general skincare benefits like cleansing, but lacks targeted ingredients for oil control, which may worsen your oily shine.

How to apply

  • Use this exfoliant product in your PM routine starting once a week, then increase frequency carefully if your skin feels fine.
  • Apply this exfoliant step after cleansing and toner, but right before your moisturizer.
  • Gently press 2-3 drops of the exfoliant into your skin and wait a minute before layering.
  • Apply the exfoliant to clean, dry skin to help control your oily shine comfortably.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use.

People Say

Based on a very large amount of data, users with mature or textured skin frequently praise the product for its dual-action cleansing and exfoliating capabilities, often noting immediate improvements in smoothness and glow. While the majority appreciate the convenience and rich lather, some long-time users criticize a recent design change for being less effective, and a minority of users with sensitive skin report harsh irritation or peeling.

Questions and answers

How well does RoC Daily Resurfacing Disks work for combination skin?

RoC Daily Resurfacing Disks works moderately well for combination skin by offering mild exfoliation with citric acid and hydration from glycerin, but it lacks targeted ingredients for oil control and may worsen oily shine. An exfoliant treatment for combination skin needs ingredients like niacinamide, propolis, or zinc PCA to regulate oiliness and provide balance.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this exfoliant a good fit for combination skin?

Citric acid offers moderate exfoliation that suits combination skin, while glycerin provides gentle moisture. However, a product of this type needs targeted ingredients like niacinamide, propolis, or zinc PCA to regulate oiliness and control oily shine.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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.

The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What does Cocamidopropyl Betaine do for combination skin?

Cocamidopropyl Betaine helps clean combination skin without stripping natural moisture, making it a gentle option for daily use. It is widely used in cleansers to lift away excess oil while keeping dry areas comfortable.

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

This exfoliant treatment goes in the evening routine, starting at once a week for combination skin. To work best for this skin type, a product of this type needs targeted ingredients for oil control to help manage oily shine.

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

It is best to avoid using this exfoliant and retinol in the same routine, as combining them may cause irritation on combination skin. Instead, use your retinol on select nights and this exfoliant at a different time, making sure to keep your skin hydrated and protected.

How often should I use this exfoliant?

Start using this exfoliant treatment once a week, and if your skin handles it well and shows good results, you may carefully use it more often. Because it lacks targeted oil-control ingredients for your combination skin, this type of product also needs oil-balancing ingredients to help manage oily shine.

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

This exfoliant is unlikely to cause severe breakouts or purging for combination skin, as complaints about harshness and irritation are low. However, because it lacks targeted ingredients for oil control, it may worsen your oily shine and needs balancing ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to better manage excess oil.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Is this exfoliant fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.

  • 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

  • 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.

Why other products fit combination skin better
