Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin due to glycerin and hydrolyzed collagen, which hydrate and improve elasticity, but it does not specifically target oily shine.
- Aloe barbadensis leaf juice and camellia sinensis leaf extract provide general skincare benefits that support combination skin without addressing specific concerns like excess oil.
- The formula is safe for your combination skin, as it lacks harsh ingredients and poses no risk of irritation.
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.
People Say
★4.5Overall rating based on 2.5k+ reviewsBased on a very large amount of data, this lotion is highly regarded for its ability to deeply hydrate and soften dry, crepey, or uneven skin texture. Users frequently report that it leaves skin feeling soft and firmer without a greasy residue.

Questions and answers
Why is Advanced Clinicals Collagen Lotion a weak match for combination skin?
Advanced Clinicals Collagen Skin Rescue Lotion is a weak match because, while it provides moderate hydration, it does not specifically target oily shine. A moisturizing treatment for combination skin needs effective brightening and hydrating ingredients that reduce oily shine without causing irritation or imbalance.
Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for combination skin?
This cream is a weak match because it lacks ingredients that target oily shine, even though it provides moderate moisture with glycerin and hydrolyzed collagen. Moisturizing treatments for combination skin need brightening and hydrating ingredients that reduce oily shine without causing irritation.
What does Hydrolyzed Collagen do for combination skin?
Hydrolyzed collagen helps keep combination skin hydrated and smooth while improving elasticity and reducing the look of fine lines. This type of supplement is generally well tolerated and may support overall skin firmness across different facial areas.
What does Aloe Vera do for combination skin?
Aloe vera helps keep combination skin hydrated without making it oily. It increases skin water content while supporting the skin barrier.
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for combination skin?
This moisturizing treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing, though combination skin needs a product that specifically targets oily shine.
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 it with this moisturizer to help keep your skin comfortable and hydrated. Using a supportive moisturizer alongside active treatments is unlikely to cause irritation and may help your skin adjust more easily.
How often should I use this cream?
This moisturizing treatment may be used daily as part of your routine. A product of this type for combination skin needs ingredients that hydrate while helping control excess oil.
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 cause irritation on combination skin, but it contains mineral oil and isopropyl myristate which may feel heavy or clog pores in areas prone to excess oil. A moisturizer for this skin needs lighter hydrators and ingredients that help balance oil without trapping shine.
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
This lotion is safe to use on the body and around the eyes, as its gentle formula poses no risk of irritation to those areas. However, because it is a weak match for combination skin, a product for this skin type needs lighter hydrating ingredients and oil-controlling elements to properly balance dry and shiny zones.
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
