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

Brand: [Elizabeth Arden](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/brands/elizabeth-arden)
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 general hydration for your combination skin due to glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, but these ingredients may worsen oily shine rather than control it.
- While shea butter and aloe vera provide soothing benefits, the formulation lacks specialized ingredients for oil control, which is your main goal.

## What the research says

- Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/))
- Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction. ([Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34623507/))
- Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days. ([BMC Oral Health, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31311529/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is Elizabeth Arden Good Night's Sleep Restoring Cream a weak match for combination skin?

This cream offers general hydration with glycerin and sodium hyaluronate, but these ingredients may worsen oily shine rather than control it. While shea butter and aloe vera provide soothing benefits, a moisturizing treatment for combination skin needs effective brightening and oil-controlling ingredients, peptides, and a lightweight texture.

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

This cream is a weak match for your combination skin because glycerin and sodium hyaluronate can worsen oily shine rather than control it. A moisturizer for this skin needs ingredients that reduce oil while providing balanced hydration without causing extra shine.

### What does Hyaluronic Acid do for combination skin?

Hyaluronic acid is a great fit for combination skin because it quenches dry areas with a boost of hydration while keeping oily zones balanced. Regular use helps smooth out fine lines and makes your skin feel soft and plump without causing irritation.
Sources: [Dermatology and Therapy, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34176098/), [Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/)

### What does Butyrospermum Parkii Butter do for combination skin?

Butyrospermum parkii butter helps keep combination skin soft and smooth while supporting the skin barrier. This ingredient is generally well tolerated, though a product for this skin type also needs lightweight hydration to balance oilier zones without clogging pores.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32385930/), [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2018](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28707186/)

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

This moisturizing treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and any treatment products, or as a step in your weekly routine. Because this product is a weak match for combination skin, a moisturizer for this skin type needs lightweight hydrating ingredients like glycerin and sodium hyaluronate paired with oil-controlling and balancing ingredients to keep oily shine in check.

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

This cream is a weak match for your combination skin because it may worsen oily shine rather than control it, lacking the specialized oil-controlling ingredients needed for this skin type. When using it with retinol, apply your retinol first and follow with this moisturizing treatment.

### How often should I use this cream?

This moisturizing treatment is a weak match for your combination skin because its hydrating ingredients may worsen oily shine rather than control it. Combination skin needs balancing ingredients like niacinamide and salicylic acid to manage excess oil.
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 is a weak match for your combination skin because it lacks oil control ingredients and may feel oily, which can contribute to clogged pores and breakouts. A product for this skin type needs balancing ingredients that hydrate without adding excess shine.

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

This cream is a facial moisturizer, so using it around the eyes or on the body is fine as long as it agrees with your skin, though the eyelid is among the thinnest skin on the body and may need extra gentle care.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

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

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum, benzyl salicylate, citronellol, limonene, and linalool). Stearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
