Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration for your combination skin, as glycerin and sodium hyaluronate provide humectant benefits, while squalane and caprylic capric triglyceride balance moisture without increasing oiliness.
- While it addresses general skincare needs, it lacks targeted ingredients to manage oily shine, which is your main concern.
- The product is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the inclusion of soothing components like glycerin and squalane.
How to apply
- Use this hydrating toner in your AM and PM routines. Start 3 times a week and move to daily use if your skin likes it.
- Apply this hydrating toner after your cleanser and before your moisturizer or SPF. This keeps your skin balanced and ready.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the hydrating toner into your skin with your hands. Let it ⏳absorb for a minute before the next step.
- Apply the hydrating toner on slightly damp skin to help it absorb better. Clean skin gives the best results for your oily shine goal.
- Avoid the eye area when using your hydrating toner. Always do a quick patch test before your first use.
People Say
★4.4Overall rating based on 1.2k+ reviewsThis milky, viscous toner is widely praised by users with dry and dehydrated skin for its ability to provide deep, long-lasting moisture and relieve tightness immediately after cleansing. While its ceramide-enriched formula creates a soft, plump "glass skin" effect for many, those with oily or acne-prone skin often find it too heavy or rich, occasionally leading to congestion. The summary is based on a very large amount of data and should be definitely taken into account.

Mineral oil helps keep combination skin soft and smooth by locking in moisture without sinking deep into pores. It is generally very gentle, though a product for combination skin also needs lightweight hydrators and balancing ingredients to keep oily areas comfortable.
