Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin due to glycerin and hyaluronic acid, which hydrate without overwhelming oily areas, but it lacks specialized ingredients to address oily shine.
- The formula is highly suitable for combination skin, providing general hydration benefits.
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
Why is ISDIN Hyaluronic Moisture a weak match for combination skin?
ISDIN Hyaluronic Moisture is a weak match for combination skin because it offers moderate moisturizing with glycerin and hyaluronic acid, but it lacks specialized ingredients to address oily shine. A moisturizer for this skin type needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients, soothing agents, antioxidants, and multiple peptides to reduce oily shine and maintain skin health.
Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for combination skin?
This cream is a weak match for your combination skin because it lacks specialized ingredients to address oily shine. A moisturizer for this skin type needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients, peptides, soothing agents, antioxidants, and natural moisturizing factors to target hydration and reduce shine without irritation.
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.
The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for combination skin?
This moisturizer goes near the end of your morning and evening routines after cleansing and applying any treatments. Because this cream offers only moderate hydration and lacks specialized ingredients for oily shine, combination skin needs a formula that balances moisture with oil-controlling or clarifying ingredients.
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cream with retinol by applying your retinol treatment first and following it with this moisturizer. This order helps keep your skin soft and comfortable while your skin gets used to the retinol, though a product for this skin also needs ingredients to manage oily shine.
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizer twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine. Regular daily application helps keep your skin hydrated and supports the skin barrier.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?
This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on combination skin, as it provides basic hydration without heavy oils. However, because it lacks oil-controlling ingredients, a product for this skin type also needs oil-balancing components to keep shine in check.
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizer around the eyes and on the body because its general hydration benefits suit the thin skin there. It helps keep these areas soft and smooth without feeling heavy.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
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, 2017The 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, 2020Ten 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, 2001Niacinamide/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, 2012Topical 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, 2011Topical 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, 2022Treatment 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.
