Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin due to glycerin and shea butter, which hydrate and enhance barrier resilience, but it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily shine concerns.
  • While the formula provides general skincare benefits, they are mostly supportive and irrelevant to your primary goal of managing oily shine.

Questions and answers

Why does Lovi advise against PRAI Ageless Throat & Decolletage Creme for combination skin?

Lovi advises against using this body lotion on your combination skin because it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily shine concerns. A product of this type needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients, soothing agents, and antioxidants to target hydration and brightness while managing oily shine.

Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for combination skin?

This cream is a poor match for combination skin because it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily shine concerns. A body lotion for combination skin needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients that reduce oily shine without causing irritation.

What does Water do for combination skin?

Water helps keep combination skin hydrated, though a product of this type needs additional barrier-protecting ingredients like ceramides or petrolatum to lock in that moisture and support overall skin health.

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 cream go in a skincare routine for combination skin?

This cream is a poor match for your combination skin because it lacks oil control ingredients for your oily shine concerns, so a product of this type needs balancing ingredients like niacinamide to keep the skin clear and calm. For combination skin, a moisturizer like this goes near the end of your morning routine after a cleanser, hydrating toner, and before sunscreen, and as the final step of your evening routine after a makeup remover, cleanser, cleansing toner, and treatment.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020

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

This cream is a poor match for your combination skin because it lacks oil control ingredients for your oily shine concerns, so a product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and oil-balancing ingredients instead. When using it with retinol, apply the retinol first to clean skin and follow with this cream once it absorbs.

How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for your combination skin because it lacks oil control ingredients for your oily shine concerns, so you should avoid using it and instead look for a lightweight moisturizer with niacinamide and oil-balancing ingredients.

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

This cream is unlikely to cause purging since it does not contain active ingredients that speed up cell turnover, but it may feel heavy and contribute to breakouts on combination skin. A product for this skin needs oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine.

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.

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

  • 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.

    Life, 2023

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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.
