Lovi Assistant explains

  • This cream offers moderate hydration and barrier support for your combination skin, with sodium hyaluronate and bifida ferment lysate providing essential moisture and enhancing skin resilience.
  • Niacinamide and glycerin contribute to humectant action and barrier support, though the formula lacks potent seboregulating ingredients to effectively address your oily shine 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 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 NEOGEN Probiotics Youth Repair Cream work for combination skin?

This cream works moderately well for combination skin by delivering essential moisture and barrier support, though it lacks strong oil-controlling ingredients to properly address oily shine. A product of this type needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients that reduce excess oil while keeping skin balanced, alongside soothing agents and antioxidants.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for combination skin?

This cream is a fair fit for combination skin because sodium hyaluronate and glycerin draw in moisture, while bifida ferment lysate supports the skin barrier. However, combination skin also needs ingredients that balance oil and reduce shine.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What do Probiotics do for combination skin?

Probiotics help keep combination skin calm and balanced by supporting the skin barrier and reducing irritation across oily and dry areas. They may also improve skin moisture while helping to keep pores clear and skin smooth.

International Journal of Medical Sciences, 2021Experimental Dermatology, 2019

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.

Dermatology and Therapy, 2021Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011

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

This moisturizing treatment goes near the end of your morning and evening routines as the final step before sunscreen in the morning. It is safe for your skin with no irritation risks, but to better manage oily shine, this type of product needs added oil-controlling ingredients.

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

You can use this cream with retinol by applying the retinol first, letting it absorb, and then following with this moisturizer to help keep your skin comfortable. Using a moisturizing cream along with retinoids may help reduce dryness and irritation while supporting your skin barrier. To best care for combination skin, a product of this type needs added ingredients that help balance excess oil and shine.

Cutis, 2006Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2023

How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing treatment twice daily as part of your morning and evening routine. Regular daily application helps improve skin moisture 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 for your combination skin since it lacks harsh ingredients and has a very safe profile. However, because it is rich and leaves a tacky finish, this type of cream for combination skin needs lightweight hydrators and oil-balancing ingredients like niacinamide to keep the oily areas clear.

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

You can use this moisturizing treatment around the eyes and on the body because its safe formula is unlikely to cause irritation. However, a product for combination skin on the body and eye area needs lightweight hydrating ingredients like sodium hyaluronate and glycerin, alongside barrier-supporting ceramides and peptides, to care for delicate or larger skin zones without feeling heavy.

Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
