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

Brand: [U Beauty](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/brands/u-beauty)
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.

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

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate hydration for your combination skin, with glycerin and jojoba seed oil providing essential moisture and smoothing texture, though it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas.
- The inclusion of squalane offers emollient benefits, which is suitable for combination skin, but the overall formula does not fully address your main goal of reducing oily shine.
- The product is safe for your combination skin, as it contains no harsh ingredients and includes soothing components like glycerin and panthenol.

## What the research says

- 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/))
- Topical dexpanthenol acts as a moisturizer, improves stratum corneum hydration, accelerates wound healing and epidermal regeneration, reduces erythema, and improves symptoms of skin irritation compared to vehicle or no pretreatment. ([American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/))
- A new topical panthenol-containing emollient significantly improved transepidermal water loss reduction, stratum corneum hydration, and intercellular lipid lamellae length compared with control in healthy subjects without negatively impacting bacterial viability. ([The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/))
- A panthenol-enriched mask significantly decreased erythema and hyperpigmentation, increased sebum and stratum corneum moisture, and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to a saline dressing in 60 subjects undergoing facial laser treatment. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40613435/))
- 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/))
- Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))
- 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/))
- Moisturizer containing 5% panthenol, madecassoside, and copper-zinc-manganese decreased adverse reactions and downtime after ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing with comparable efficacy to 0.02% triamcinolone acetonide cream in 20 subjects. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30945430/))
- Topical dexpanthenol formulated in lipophilic vehicles improved stratum corneum hydration and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control in humans. ([Arzneimittel-Forschung, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10965426/))
- Hyaluronic acid, hyaluronic acid plus dexpanthenol, and isotonic saline nasal sprays all significantly improved dry nose symptoms over four weeks in 240 patients, with hyaluronic acid plus dexpanthenol providing superior nasal moisturisation compared to the other two. ([Auris, Nasus, Larynx, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32067777/))

## Why other moisturizers fit combination skin better

- A peel-off facial mask containing myoinositol and trehalose-loaded liposomes improved adult female acne by decreasing lesion counts, sebum production, GAGS scores, and local androgen levels while increasing beclin-1 levels. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28342238/))
- Gluconolactone chemical peels lower skin pH and transepidermal water loss while demonstrating seboregulatory properties in 16 female subjects. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37335807/))

## How to apply

- Use this moisturizer in your AM and PM routine every day to control shine. Always pair with SPF in the morning.

## Questions and answers

### Why is U Beauty The Sculpt Sculpting Concentrate a weak match for combination skin?

This product is a weak match for combination skin because it only offers moderate moisture with glycerin and jojoba seed oil while lacking enough ingredients to control oil on oily areas. A product of this type needs effective hydrating and skin-repairing ingredients like ceramides and hyaluronic acid to maintain balance, along with ingredients that manage oily shine without causing irritation.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This moisturizing treatment is a weak match because it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas and does not fully reduce oily shine. To work well for combination skin, a product of this type needs effective hydrating and skin-repairing ingredients, ceramides, hyaluronic acid, peptides, and niacinamide to balance moisture and manage oil.
Sources: [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/), [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/)

### 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/)

### What does Jojoba Seed Oil do for combination skin?

Jojoba seed oil helps balance combination skin by calming redness and keeping the skin soft without feeling heavy. It is unlikely to clog pores and helps protect the skin barrier while adding light moisture.
Sources: [Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38344180/), [International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29280987/)

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

This moisturizing treatment goes in the evening routine step for combination skin. To properly care for this skin type, a product of this type needs additional oil control ingredients and balancing agents.

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

You may use this moisturizing treatment with retinol, applying the treatment after your retinol to help soothe your skin and keep it comfortable. A product for combination skin used alongside retinol needs ingredients that support the skin barrier and balance moisture without adding extra oiliness.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/)

### How often should I use this moisturizing treatment?

This moisturizing treatment is designed to be used in the evening as part of your routine. For combination skin, a product of this type needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that help balance oil to properly manage both dry and oily areas.

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

This moisturizing treatment is generally safe and unlikely to cause harsh reactions, but it may not fully control excess shine on your combination skin. A product of this type for combination skin needs oil-controlling ingredients to manage oily areas while keeping the skin balanced and smooth.
Sources: [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/), [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27425824/)

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

This moisturizing treatment is safe to use on the thin skin around the eyes and on the body. A moisturizing treatment for this skin needs light, soothing ingredients that provide gentle hydration without heavy oils.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/), [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12113650/)

### Is this moisturizing treatment fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
