Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate suitability for combination skin as Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis Oil and Rosa Canina Oil Fruit provide emollient action for hydration and barrier resilience, though they may not sufficiently address oilier areas.
- The blend offers general skincare benefits like hydration for your acne, blemishes, and breakouts, but its primary moisturizing ingredients may not be the most targeted for these specific concerns.
- The product is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.
How to apply
- Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help keep breakouts under control.
- Apply after your cleanser and toner, and make sure to use your SPF right after in the morning.
- Gently spread a small amount of moisturizer over your face using soft motions. Let it absorb into the skin for a minute before getting dressed or applying makeup.
- Apply on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. This keeps your combination skin balanced without feeling heavy.
- Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use. Stop using if you feel any irritation.

What does Rose Oil do for acne-prone skin?
Rose oil helps acne-prone skin because it has strong antibacterial activity against the bacteria that cause breakouts. It also helps support the skin barrier while keeping the skin hydrated.
What does Sweet Almond Oil do for acne-prone skin?

However, for acne-prone skin, a product of this type needs non-clogging, lightweight ingredients and antibacterial agents to help calm breakouts and keep pores clear.
Where does this oil go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?
This moisturizer goes after your hydrating toner in the morning and after your treatment in the evening. It provides hydration for breakouts, though acne-prone skin needs a product with targeted ingredients that balance oilier areas and address blemishes more directly.
Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?
