Lovi advises against this body lotion for combination skin because it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas, even though it offers moderate moisturizing. A body lotion for this skin needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients, soothing agents, and antioxidants that target hydration and brightness while reducing oily shine without irritation. Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/) ### Which ingredients make this body lotion a poor fit for combination skin? This body lotion is a poor fit for your combination skin because it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas, even though glycerin and petrolatum provide moderate moisture. A body lotion for this skin type needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients, soothing agents, antioxidants, and multiple peptides to reduce oily shine while keeping skin balanced without irritation. Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/) ### What does Water do for combination skin? Water helps keep combination skin hydrated, though a product of this type needs additional barrier-protecting ingredients like ceramides or petrolatum to lock in that moisture and support overall skin health. ### 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/) ### Where does this body lotion go in a skincare routine for combination skin? This body lotion is not an ideal match for combination skin because it lacks sufficient oil-controlling ingredients for oily areas, though a lotion for this skin type needs glycerin and petrolatum for moderate moisture along with mattifying ingredients like dimethicone to manage excess shine. ### Can I use this body lotion with niacinamide, and in what order? You can use this body lotion with niacinamide by applying niacinamide first and following with the lotion once it absorbs. Because this lotion is a poor match for combination skin, a product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and oil-control ingredients to balance oily areas while keeping dry spots soft. ### How often should I use this body lotion? This body lotion is a poor match for your combination skin, as it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas. Combination skin needs products with ingredients like niacinamide or lightweight hydrators that balance moisture while helping to manage excess oil. ### Can this body lotion clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin? This body lotion is unlikely to cause purging, but it may feel heavy and lead to clogged pores or breakouts on combination skin because it lacks sufficient oil control for oily areas. This skin type needs lightweight lotions with ingredients that balance oil and keep pores clear without feeling greasy. ### Is this body lotion fragrance-free and alcohol-free? Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin. ## Alternatives for combination skin - [Some By Mi Yuja Niacin Brightening Moisture Gel Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/some-by-mi/yuja-niacin-brightening-moisture-gel-cream/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €17.90 at Amazon - [The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + HA](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/the-ordinary/natural-moisturizing-factors-ha/for/combination-skin) — High fit — €13.11 at Amazon - [Anua Heartleaf 78% Soothing Cream](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/anua/heartleaf-78-soothing-cream/for/combination-skin) — High fit — €16.98 at Amazon ## Routine for combination skin ### AM - Cleanser: [Paula's Choice RESIST Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/paula-s-choice/perfectly-balanced-foaming-cleanser/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €32.00 at Amazon - Hydrating Toner: [Paula's Choice Pore-Reducing Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/paula-s-choice/skin-balancing-pore-reducing-toner/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €36.00 at Amazon - Moisturizer: [COSRX Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/cosrx/oil-free-ultra-moisturizing-lotion-with-birch-sap/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €17.47 at Amazon ### PM - Pre-Cleanser: [Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/shu-uemura/ultime8-sublime-beauty-cleansing-oil/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €40.00 at Amazon - Cleanser: [Paula's Choice RESIST Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/paula-s-choice/perfectly-balanced-foaming-cleanser/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €32.00 at Amazon - Cleansing Toner: [Medicube Zero Pore Pad 2.0](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/medicube/zero-pore-pad-2-0/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €17.15 at Amazon - Serum or Treatment: [Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/peach-and-lily/glass-skin-refining-serum/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €86.15 at Amazon - Moisturizer: [COSRX Oil-Free Ultra-Moisturizing Lotion with Birch Sap](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/cosrx/oil-free-ultra-moisturizing-lotion-with-birch-sap/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €17.47 at Amazon ### Weekly - Pre-Cleanser: [Shu Uemura Ultime8 Sublime Beauty Cleansing Oil](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/shu-uemura/ultime8-sublime-beauty-cleansing-oil/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €40.00 at Amazon - Cleanser: [Paula's Choice RESIST Perfectly Balanced Foaming Cleanser](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/paula-s-choice/perfectly-balanced-foaming-cleanser/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €32.00 at Amazon - Enzyme Powder: [Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/dermalogica/daily-microfoliant/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €49.00 at Amazon - Cleansing Mask: [Herbivore Botanicals Blue Tansy Resurfacing Clarity Mask](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/herbivore-botanicals/blue-tansy-bha-and-enzyme-pore-refining-mask/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €79.97 at Amazon - Hydrating Toner: [Paula's Choice Pore-Reducing Toner](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/paula-s-choice/skin-balancing-pore-reducing-toner/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €36.00 at Amazon - Serum or Treatment: [Peach & Lily Glass Skin Refining Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/fr/p/peach-and-lily/glass-skin-refining-serum/for/combination-skin) — Superior fit — €86.15 at Amazon ## Where to buy No store in France has a checked price for this product, so the page shows none. ## Ingredients Water, Glycerin, Stearic Acid, Isopropyl Myristate, Glycol Stearate, Theobroma Cacao Seed Butter, Dimethicone, Petrolatum, Glyceryl Stearate, Triethanolamine, Cetyl Alcohol, Magnesium Aluminum Silicate, Carbomer, Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Disodium Edta, Caramel ## About the Lovi Fit Lovi: Unbiased, science-based skincare AI trained on real user outcomes.
