Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate hydration for your combination skin, as multiple forms of hyaluronic acid like sodium hyaluronate and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid provide deep moisture, while niacinamide helps with oil regulation.
- The formula is generally safe for your combination skin, with soothing ingredients like Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water and Anthemis Nobilis Oil minimizing irritation risks.
- While it provides excellent moisturizing benefits, it lacks targeted ingredients to effectively manage your oily shine.
How to apply
- Use this moisturizer in your AM and PM routine every day to control shine. Always pair with SPF in the morning.
- Apply this moisturizer after your cleanser and toner, right before your morning SPF.
- Gently press a small amount of the moisturizer into your skin and avoid harsh rubbing. Let it ⏳absorb for a minute.
- Apply the moisturizer on slightly damp skin to help it lock in moisture better. This keeps your combination skin balanced.
- Avoid the eye area when applying the moisturizer. Do a patch test before your first use.

Questions and answers
How well does MISSHA Super Aqua Ultra Hyalron work for combination skin?
This treatment works moderately well for combination skin by delivering deep moisture with multiple types of hyaluronic acid and balancing oil with niacinamide. It is generally safe and unlikely to cause irritation, but it lacks targeted ingredients to effectively manage oily shine. A product for this skin needs ingredients that provide hydration and control excess oil without causing irritation.
Which ingredients make this serum a good fit for combination skin?
Hyaluronic acid and niacinamide make this serum a good fit for combination skin because they provide deep moisture while helping with oil regulation. It also includes soothing extracts that keep irritation low, though a product of this type needs additional targeted ingredients to effectively manage oily shine.
What does Hyaluronic Acid do for combination skin?
Hyaluronic acid helps combination skin by boosting hydration, smoothing texture, and keeping moisture balanced across dry and oily areas. Clinical studies show it significantly increases skin moisture and improves overall smoothness without causing irritation.
Dermatology and Therapy, 2021The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 2019
What does Niacinamide do for combination skin?
Niacinamide helps balance oily areas by reducing excess shine and pore size while keeping dry patches hydrated and smooth. It also works to calm redness and even out skin tone, making it very suitable for combination skin.
Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for combination skin?
This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing, though some can also be used in the morning or twice a day. For combination skin, a product of this type also needs oil-controlling ingredients to manage oily shine.
Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this moisturizing treatment with retinol by applying the serum first to give your combination skin deep moisture, followed by your retinol. Using a hydrating product alongside retinol helps reduce dryness and irritation while supporting your skin barrier. To better fit combination skin, this product type needs targeted ingredients to help manage oily shine.
How often should I use this serum?
This treatment is used in the evening as part of your routine for combination skin. Daily application of moisturizers helps improve skin moisture and barrier function, though this product needs oil-balancing and shine-managing ingredients for this skin type.
Can this serum clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?
This serum is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for combination skin, as its soothing ingredients help keep irritation risks low. However, because it lacks targeted ingredients to manage oily shine, combination skin needs added oil-control ingredients and lightweight hydrators to stay clear and balanced.
Can I use this serum around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizing treatment around the eyes and on the body, though combination skin needs lightweight hydration and ingredients that balance oil and manage shine for the best fit in those areas.
Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (limonene and linalool).
