Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin due to glycerin and coix lacryma-jobi ma-yuen seed extract, which provide hydration but do not address oily shine.
  • Betaine and glycerin offer humectant action suitable for combination skin, though the formula lacks ingredients for optimal results across all areas.
  • The product is safe for your combination skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

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

★4.7Overall rating based on 200+ reviews

Users widely praise this emulsion for its lightweight, non-sticky texture that delivers "mochi-like" soft skin, making it an excellent choice for layering or as a body moisturizer. While highly effective for oily to combination skin, those with very dry skin often find it insufficient as a standalone moisturizer, requiring an additional occlusive layer.

Questions and answers

How well does Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Milk work for combination skin?

Naturie Hatomugi Skin Conditioning Milk provides moderate hydration for your combination skin using glycerin and hatomugi extract, but it does not address oily shine. A product of this type needs ingredients that target both hydration and brightness, along with soothing agents and antioxidants, to properly balance combination skin.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this moisturizer a good fit for combination skin?

Glycerin and hatomugi extract make this moisturizer a reasonable fit by providing moderate hydration for combination skin, though it lacks ingredients to reduce oily shine. Combination skin needs products with effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients, soothing agents, and antioxidants to target hydration and brightness while managing oily shine.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What does Hatomugi Extract do for combination skin?

Hatomugi Extract helps hydrate dry areas without making oily zones greasy, leaving your skin soft and smooth. It is lightweight and unlikely to clog pores, making it a great fit for balancing combination skin.

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.

The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

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

This moisturizer goes as the last step before sunscreen in the morning and as the final step in the evening routine. For combination skin to get optimal results across all areas, a product of this type needs additional ingredients that also help balance oily shine.

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

You can use this moisturizer with retinol by applying the retinol first and following with the moisturizer. This combination helps keep your skin soft while managing dryness, though combination skin also needs ingredients that balance oily shine for best results.

How often should I use this moisturizer?

You can use this moisturizer twice a day, in the morning and evening, as part of your daily routine for combination skin. It provides moderate hydration through glycerin and hatomugi extract, though a product of this type for combination skin also needs ingredients that help balance oily shine.

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

This moisturizer is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts for combination skin. The formula has a low complaint rate for breakouts and is safe for your skin type, though a product for combination skin also needs ingredients to manage oily shine.

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

You can use this moisturizer around the eyes and on your body because its gentle formula is safe and unlikely to cause irritation. However, combination skin needs products that also balance oily shine and target specific areas for the best results.

Is this moisturizer fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

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