Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin, as rice bran water and ceramides hydrate and enhance barrier resilience, but may be too heavy for your oily T-zone.
  • While the formula provides general skincare benefits, it lacks specialized ingredients to effectively target your acne, blemishes, and breakouts.
  • The product is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

How to apply

  • Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help keep breakouts under control.
  • Apply after your cleanser and toner, and make sure to use your SPF right after in the morning.
  • Gently spread a small amount of moisturizer over your face using soft motions. Let it absorb into the skin for a minute before getting dressed or applying makeup.
  • Apply on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. This keeps your combination skin balanced without feeling heavy.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use. Stop using if you feel any irritation.

People Say

★4.7Overall rating based on 200+ reviews

Users widely praise this moisturizer for its lightweight, milky texture that absorbs instantly to create a "glass skin" glow, making it a favorite for normal, combination, and oily skin types. It is frequently cited as insufficient for very dry skin in winter, and a notable minority of acne-prone users experienced breakouts linked to its coconut oil content.

Questions and answers

Why does Lovi advise caution with Anua Rice 70 Intensive Moisturizing Milk for acne-prone skin?

Lovi advises caution because this moisturizer may feel too heavy for your oily areas and lacks specialized ingredients to effectively target breakouts. A moisturizer for acne-prone skin needs targeted ingredients for blemishes, soothing extracts, and lightweight hydration.

Which ingredients make this moisturizer a poor fit for acne-prone skin?

Rice Bran Water and Ceramides make this moisturizer a poor fit because they may feel too heavy on your oily T-zone and lack specialized ingredients to target your acne and breakouts. A moisturizer for acne-prone skin needs ingredients that help with blemishes and provide hydration without feeling heavy.

What does Rice Bran Water do for acne-prone skin?

Rice Bran Water helps calm acne-prone skin because rice-derived ingredients have soothing and anti-inflammatory properties that are unlikely to cause irritation. It supports clearer, more balanced skin while keeping it comfortable and hydrated.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022International Journal of Toxicology, 2006

What do Ceramides do for acne-prone skin?

Ceramides help acne-prone skin by restoring a damaged water barrier, reducing dryness and redness from acne treatments, and lowering inflammation. Because acne-prone skin often lacks these key fats, products for this skin type need ceramides to soothe irritation and keep the barrier strong.

Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2023Archives of Dermatological Research, 1995

Where does this moisturizer go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?

This moisturizer goes as the final step of your morning routine and near the end of your evening routine, though it may feel too heavy on an oily T-zone. A moisturizer for this skin needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that target blemishes without clogging pores.

The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020

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

You can use this moisturizer with retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help keep your skin calm and hydrated. Using a moisturizer with ceramides helps support your skin barrier and makes it easier to use strong treatments like retinol.

Cutis, 2006Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2023

How often should I use this moisturizer?

You can use this moisturizer twice daily as part of your morning and evening routine, though it may feel too heavy for your oily T-zone. Regular daily application helps keep skin hydrated and supports barrier strength.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021

Can this moisturizer clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?

This moisturizer may clog pores and cause breakouts for your acne-prone skin because it can feel too heavy and lacks specialized ingredients to clear blemishes. A product for this skin needs targeted blemish-fighting ingredients and a lighter texture that won't trap oil.

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

You can use this moisturizer on the body or around the eyes since it is safe and free of harsh ingredients, though the thin skin around the eyes and different body areas may need products with targeted active ingredients depending on specific concerns.

What the research says

  • Application of Body Lotion for 5 weeks on cosmetic dry skin improved barrier properties, increased levels of cholesterol, ceramides, and long-chain fatty acids, increased beneficial skin bacteria, and enhanced microbiome functional potential compared to baseline.

    Scientific Reports, 2022
