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

Brand: [Pond's](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/brands/pond-s)
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 and smoothing texture for your combination skin due to the presence of glycerin and lactic acid, which hydrate and provide mild exfoliation to address oily shine.
- The formula contains borago officinalis seed oil and tocopheryl acetate to nourish and protect your skin, though it lacks stronger humectant support for fully addressing combination skin needs.

## Questions and answers

### Why is Pond's Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream a weak match for combination skin?

Pond's Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream is a weak match for combination skin because it offers only moderate moisture and smoothing texture, lacking stronger humectant support to fully address combination skin needs. A moisturizing treatment for this skin needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients, soothing agents, and antioxidants to target hydration and brightness while reducing oily shine without 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?

Pond's Rejuveness Anti-Wrinkle Cream is a weak match for combination skin because it lacks stronger water-attracting ingredients to fully balance oily shine and dry areas. A product of this type needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients, soothing agents, antioxidants, multiple peptides, and natural moisturizing factors.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### What do Alpha Hydroxy Acids do for combination skin?

Alpha hydroxy acids help keep combination skin smooth and clear by gently lifting away dead cells to unclog pores and balance oil. They may also help fade dark spots and boost firmness over time with a low risk of irritation.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2015](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26032934/), [American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11702315/)

### What does Collagen do for combination skin?

Collagen helps keep combination skin smooth and hydrated by improving moisture and supporting elasticity. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may help reduce the appearance of fine lines while keeping the skin barrier balanced.
Sources: [Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35223163/), [Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38534748/)

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

This cream is used as an evening treatment in your routine. Combination skin needs a product that provides stronger hydrating ingredients along with gentle balancing support to properly manage both dry and oily areas.

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

You can use this cream with retinol by applying your retinol first, letting it absorb, and then following with the cream to help keep your skin soft and smooth. Because this product is a weak match for combination skin, a treatment of this type for your skin needs stronger humectant support and lightweight balancing ingredients to fully handle both dry and oily areas.

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is best used as an evening treatment starting once a week, as it may help address oily shine and smooth texture while safely avoiding extra sun sensitivity. People who tolerate it well and see good results can carefully use it more often. Combination skin of this type needs stronger hydrating ingredients to fully meet its daily moisture needs.

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

This cream is unlikely to cause breakouts for combination skin, as very few reviewers report this issue. However, because it is a weak match for your skin, a product of this type needs stronger hydrating ingredients to keep your skin balanced.

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

You can use this cream on the thin skin around your eyes and on your body, but because it is a weak match for combination skin, it may need extra moisture-locking ingredients to fully support those areas.
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.
