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

Brand: [Neostrata](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/brands/neostrata)

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 products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate firming and smoothing for your combination skin, as acetyl glucosamine and peptides promote plumping and improve elasticity.
- Glycerin and glycolic acid provide general hydration and exfoliation, which are supportive but not specifically targeted for your oily shine concerns.
- The formula is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

## Questions and answers

### Why is NeoStrata Triple Firming Neck Cream a weak match for combination skin?

NeoStrata Triple Firming Neck Cream is a weak match for combination skin because its hydration and exfoliation are supportive rather than specifically targeted for managing oily shine. A product of this type needs ingredients that control oil and refine pores while balancing hydration without overwhelming the skin.
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?

This neck cream is a weak match for combination skin because glycerin and glycolic acid provide general hydration and exfoliation that are not specifically targeted for your oily shine concerns. A product of this type needs ingredients that manage oily shine, provide excellent exfoliation without irritation, refine pores, and enhance clarity to properly balance combination skin.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### 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/)

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

Glycolic acid helps smooth and brighten combination skin by gently loosening dead surface cells to speed up skin renewal. This ingredient is unlikely to cause irritation when used properly, but it needs a reliable sunscreen during the day since it makes skin more sensitive to the sun.
Sources: [Acta Dermato-venereologica, 1995](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8651024/), [Archives of Dermatological Research, 1997](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/9248619/)

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

Apply this treatment in the evening as part of your routine. Because this product is a weak match for combination skin, a better fit for this skin type needs oil-balancing and lightweight ingredients that help control shine while keeping skin hydrated and smooth.

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

You can use this cream with retinol by applying your retinol first and following with this cream to help keep your skin comfortable and soft. This product contains glycolic acid, so using them together may raise the likelihood of dryness or irritation for combination skin.

### How often should I use it?

This neck cream is generally safe for your combination skin and may be used daily, though a product for this skin works best when it also includes oil-controlling and balancing ingredients to manage shine.

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

This neck cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for combination skin, as it is safe with no harsh ingredients. However, it may not specifically target oily shine concerns.

### Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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