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

Brand: [Vaseline](https://lovi.care/skincare/it/brands/vaseline)

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 poor match for combination skin; the products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate suitability for combination skin due to the presence of glycerin with humectant action, but lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas.
- The product provides excellent moisturizing due to petrolatum and glycerin, enhancing barrier resilience, but its general skincare benefits are mostly supportive and irrelevant for your oily shine.

## 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, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- The 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, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- Topical treatment with skin-identical lipids in a petrolatum-rich cream base showed no superiority over pure petrolatum in promoting normalization of barrier recovery and inflammation in detergent- and tape-stripped-perturbed human skin over 14 days. ([Acta Dermato-venereologica, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11243632/))
- Topically applied extra virgin olive oil and petrolatum both significantly improved skin barrier function and microtopographic features in 54 healthy adult volunteers, with petrolatum exerting stronger occlusive effects and extra virgin olive oil uniquely promoting epidermal renewal. ([Journal of Clinical Medicine, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40649050/))
- Ten 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, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- Niacinamide/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, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))
- Topical application of 1,3-propanediol at various concentrations, alone or combined with butylene glycol and/or glycerol, increased skin hydration and reduced trans epidermal water loss in 30 healthy female subjects over an 8-hour period, with the 15% concentration and the addition of glycerol providing greater benefits. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37699769/))
- Wearing an N95 mask alone compared to using dimethicone cream or hydrocolloid dressing caused more adverse skin reactions among 73 military health care workers, with no significant differences in fit test failure rates between groups. ([Military Medicine, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38771104/))
- A dimethicone skin protectant lotion significantly decreased visual scoring and transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control and SLS-only treated sites in 12 healthy humans exposed to sodium lauryl sulfate. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11428946/))
- Treatment with a moisturizer containing dimethicone and glycerine increased epidermal thickness by 0.019 mm, improved barrier function by decreasing transepidermal water loss by 13%, decreased melanin intensity, and induced keratins 6 and 16 in fifteen women with moderately photoaged forearms. ([Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17137484/))
- Sodium dodecyl sulfate treatment disrupts the ordered intercellular lipid lamellar structure in hairless mouse stratum corneum, and immersion in a ceramide 3, cholesterol, and stearic acid mixture successfully reorganizes this ordered lamellar structure. ([Biophysical Chemistry, 2001](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11254216/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Vaseline Advanced Repair Lotion for combination skin?

Lovi advises caution because this lotion lacks sufficient ingredients for oil control on your oily areas and its heavy moisture causes oily shine. Combination skin needs body lotions with targeted brightening and hydration ingredients that reduce oily shine without risk of irritation.

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

This body lotion is a poor fit for combination skin because it relies heavily on petrolatum and mineral oil, which provide rich moisture but lack ingredients to help control oil on your shiny areas. A better body lotion for combination skin needs effective hydrating ingredients and brightening agents that reduce oily shine without feeling heavy.

### What does Petrolatum do for combination skin?

Petrolatum is a strong moisture barrier for combination skin, helping lock in hydration and speed up recovery where skin is dry, though it may feel heavy on oilier areas. It forms a protective layer that helps prevent water loss, keeping dry patches soft and smooth.
Sources: [Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 1992](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1564142/), [Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36863326/)

### 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/)

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

This lotion may not be the best fit for combination skin because it lacks ingredients for oil control on oily areas, though it does offer good moisture with glycerin and petrolatum. For combination skin, a lotion of this type needs lightweight hydrators and oil-balancing ingredients like niacinamide to manage shine while keeping skin soft.
Sources: [International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31461548/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

You may use this lotion with retinol, applying the lotion after your retinol to help calm dryness and protect your skin. This type of routine benefits from a moisturizer with barrier-repairing ingredients to keep skin soft while managing the effects of retinol.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this lotion?

This lotion may not be the best fit for your combination skin because it lacks the ingredients needed to control oil in shiny areas, so a body lotion for this skin type needs balancing ingredients like niacinamide or lightweight hydrators to manage shine while keeping skin soft.

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

This body lotion may not suit combination skin because it lacks oil-controlling ingredients for your oily areas while offering heavy moisture. A product of this type needs balancing ingredients like niacinamide or lightweight hydrators to keep oily areas clear without causing breakouts.

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

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