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

Works for combination skin; other moisturizers fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for your combination skin, as Caprylic Capric Triglyceride and Jojoba Seed Oil provide emollient action that hydrates and enhances barrier resilience, though these oils may exacerbate oiliness for your oily shine concern.
- While the product offers general skincare benefits like hydration, the presence of multiple oils is not ideal for managing your oily shine.

## What the research says

- Topical application of an emollient emulsion containing 15.0% caprylic/capric triglyceride doubled the amount of urocanic acid isomers and increased skin hydration with reduced transepidermal water loss in healthy subjects, though it did not prevent ultraviolet-induced urocanic acid isomerization. ([Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/))
- Clay jojoba oil facial masks reduced total skin lesions by a mean of 54% after 6 weeks in 133 participants with acne-prone, lesioned skin and mild acne compared to baseline. ([Forschende Komplementarmedizin, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22585103/))
- Topical application of jojoba wax reduced LPS-induced secretion of IL-6, IL-8, and TNFα by approximately 30% and increased the synthesis of pro-collagen III and hyaluronic acid compared to untreated skin in an ex-vivo human skin organ culture model. ([Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38344180/))
- Topical jojoba oil application in male mice decreased exercise-induced pro-inflammatory gene expression (Il-1b and Il-6 in soleus, Il-1b in gastrocnemius) compared to untreated exercised mice. ([Biomolecules, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41154623/))
- 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.

## What reviewers say

Users with dry, sensitive, and mature skin frequently praise this oil for its ability to eliminate dry patches and restore a healthy "golden glow" without causing breakouts. While the lightweight texture absorbs quickly to leave skin feeling satiny and supple, the strong rose fragrance is a polarizing feature that some find luxurious and others find overwhelming.

## Questions and answers

### How well does Lancôme Absolue Precious Oil work for combination skin?

This moisturizer works moderately well for your combination skin, but it may make oily shine worse because it contains multiple oils. A product of this type needs ingredients that hydrate and brighten while reducing oily shine, along with soothing agents and antioxidants to keep your skin balanced without extra heaviness.
Sources: [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/), [Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38344180/)

### Which ingredients make this facial oil a good fit for combination skin?

Caprylic Capric Triglyceride and Jojoba Seed Oil make this facial oil a fit by hydrating and strengthening your skin. Because combination skin needs moisture without excess oil, this skin type needs lighter, balanced hydrating ingredients and soothing antioxidants that control shine without feeling heavy.
Sources: [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/), [Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38344180/)

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

Camelina oil is unlikely to be the best direct match for combination skin on its own, because this skin type needs a balanced blend of lightweight hydrators and mild oils that absorb easily to manage dry and oily areas.

### What does Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride do for combination skin?

Caprylic/capric triglyceride helps keep combination skin hydrated and soft while reducing moisture loss. It is generally well tolerated and unlikely to clog pores.
Sources: [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/)

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

This facial oil works as a moisturizer in your morning and evening routine, though combination skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydration and balancing ingredients that control oily shine instead of multiple oils.
Sources: [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/), [Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38344180/)

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

You can use this facial oil with retinol by applying your retinol first, letting it dry, and then smoothing on the oil to help lock in hydration and keep your skin soft. Because combination skin needs care that avoids extra shine, a product of this type for your skin needs lightweight hydrators and balancing ingredients that control oil instead of heavy oils.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/)

### How often should I use this facial oil?

This facial oil works for your combination skin, but because it contains multiple oils, it may make oily shine worse. To manage your combination skin well, a product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and balancing ingredients that soften the skin without adding extra oils.

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

Lancôme Absolue Precious Oil may cause breakouts on combination skin because its multiple oils can increase oily shine in places you do not want it. A product for this skin type needs lighter hydrating ingredients and oils that soften without feeling heavy or greasy.
Sources: [Life, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37109405/), [Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38344180/)

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

This facial oil is safe to use around the eyes, where skin is thin, and on the body. A product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and soothing plant extracts to keep combination skin smooth without adding extra shine.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

### Is this facial oil fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (limonene, linalool, geraniol, citronellol, citral, coumarin, and parfum).
