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

Brand: [Bioderma](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/brands/bioderma)
Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/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 moisturizing for your combination skin due to paraffinum liquidum huile minerale mineral oil and glycerin, which hydrate and enhance barrier resilience, but these ingredients can be occlusive and potentially clog pores, offering limited benefits for managing oilier zones.
- While the formula provides general skincare benefits, it is not specifically targeted to address your oily shine concerns.

## Key ingredients

Niacinamide, Glycerin, Laminaria Ochroleuca Extract, Caprylic Capric Triglyceride, Rhamnose

## 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 post-laser application of human adipocyte-derived mesenchymal stem cell media combined with niacinamide significantly improved wrinkle index, melanin index, patient satisfaction, and investigator esthetic improvement scores compared to vehicle cream in patients with aging skin. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33103316/))
- Topical nicotinamide prevented solar-simulated UV-induced immunosuppression in healthy volunteers, and men experienced immunosuppression at solar-simulated UV doses three times lower than those required for women. ([The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17882270/))
- Topical 5% niacinamide applied twice daily for 12 weeks reduced fine lines and wrinkles, hyperpigmented spots, red blotchiness, and skin sallowness, and improved skin elasticity compared to vehicle control in 50 female white subjects with facial photoaging. ([Dermatologic Surgery, 2005](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16029679/))
- 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/))
- 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/))
- Rhamnose exerts beneficial anti-ageing effects on the papillary dermis and dermal-epidermal junction, including increased collagen IV and procollagen I production in vivo. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30845349/))
- Hesperidin, hesperetin, rutinose, and rhamnose reduced MMP-1 and MMP-2 levels, while rutinose and rhamnose also inhibited elastase, hyaluronidase, and collagenase and increased collagen I production in young and physiologically aged normal human dermal fibroblasts. ([Molecules, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36838716/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is Bioderma Atoderm Crème a weak match for combination skin?

Bioderma Atoderm Crème is a weak match for combination skin because its heavy ingredients can clog pores and offer limited benefits for managing oilier zones or reducing oily shine. A product of this type needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients, soothing agents, and antioxidants that hydrate the skin while targeting shine without causing irritation.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

Paraffinum liquidum huile minerale mineral oil and glycerin make this cream a weak match because they can clog pores and feel heavy on oilier zones, offering limited benefits for managing shine. A product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and brightening ingredients to reduce oily shine while keeping the skin balanced without irritation.

### 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.

### 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 cream go in a skincare routine for combination skin?

This cream goes toward the end of your morning and evening routines after cleansers, toners, and treatments. Because it is a weak match for combination skin, a moisturizer for this skin type needs lightweight hydrators and balancing ingredients that keep dry areas soft without clogging pores or adding excess oil.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/), [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31461548/)

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

You can use this cream alongside retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help soothe dryness and support your skin barrier. While it provides moderate hydration, combination skin needs a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer with oil-balancing ingredients that hydrate without clogging pores.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37276158/)

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this cream twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine, though it may feel heavy on your combination skin. Combination skin needs lighter, oil-free moisturizers with balancing ingredients that hydrate dry areas without clogging pores in your oilier zones.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/)

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

This cream can clog pores and is a weak match for combination skin because ingredients like mineral oil and glycerin may feel heavy and offer limited benefits for oilier zones. A product for this skin type needs lighter, non-clogging hydrators and ingredients that help balance oil without heavy oils.

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

You can use this cream on your body and around the eyes, where the skin is particularly thin and benefits from rich moisture. Mineral oil and glycerin help hydrate these areas, though combination skin on the face may find them too heavy.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

### Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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