Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin due to shea butter and castor seed oil, which hydrate and smooth texture, but lacks specialized ingredients to effectively address your acne, blemishes, and breakouts, posing risks of worsening these conditions.
- While the formula provides emollient action suitable for combination skin, it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control, which is important for managing your concerns.

What the research says
Topical application of an emollient emulsion containing 15.0% caprylic/capric triglyceride doubled the amount of urocanic acid isomers and increased skin hydration with reduced transepidermal water loss in healthy subjects, though it did not prevent ultraviolet-induced urocanic acid isomerization.
