How to apply

  • Use your moisturizer twice a day in your AM and PM routines. Apply it daily to help keep breakouts under control.
  • Apply after your cleanser and toner, and make sure to use your SPF right after in the morning.
  • Gently spread a small amount of moisturizer over your face using soft motions. Let it absorb into the skin for a minute before getting dressed or applying makeup.
  • Apply on slightly damp skin to help lock in extra moisture. This keeps your combination skin balanced without feeling heavy.
  • Avoid the eye area and do a patch test before your first use. Stop using if you feel any irritation.

Questions and answers

Why does Lovi advise against TULA 24-7 Moisture Hydrating Day & Night Cream for acne-prone skin?

Lovi advises against using this moisturizer on acne-prone skin because it is a poor match for your skin type. A product of this type for acne-prone skin needs soothing extracts, zero allergens, and ingredients that provide hydration and blemish care without any risk of irritation.

Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for acne-prone skin?

This cream is a poor match for acne-prone skin because it contains heavier oils and emollients like ethylhexyl palmitate, olive oil fruit oil, and hydrogenated oil that may clog pores and trigger breakouts. Acne-prone skin needs lightweight, non-pore-clogging hydrators and soothing ingredients that balance oil and calm redness without heavy oils.

What do Probiotics do for acne-prone skin?

For acne-prone skin, probiotics help reduce breakouts, soothe redness, and calm inflammation while balancing the skin microbiome. They also help improve skin barrier function and decrease inflammatory markers with fewer side effects than conventional treatments.

Journal of Experimental Pharmacology, 2025Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022

What does Squalane do for acne-prone skin?

Squalane may help keep acne-prone skin soft and smooth, but peroxidated forms can trigger inflammation in skin cells. For a better fit on acne-prone skin, products need non-clogging, soothing ingredients that balance oil without causing irritation.

The Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 2006

Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?

This cream is a poor match for acne-prone skin, as Lovi advises against using it. An acne-prone skin routine needs a lightweight, non-greasy moisturizing treatment with ingredients like niacinamide to help keep skin clear and calm.

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

This cream is a poor match for your skin, so you should avoid using it with retinol. Acne-prone skin needs a lightweight moisturizer with soothing ingredients like ceramides and niacinamide to keep the skin calm and clear without clogging pores.

How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for acne-prone skin, so you may want to avoid using it. For this skin type, a moisturizing treatment needs to be oil-free and non-clogging to keep your face clear and calm.

Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?

This cream is a poor match for acne-prone skin because it may clog pores and trigger breakouts. Acne-prone skin needs lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas with soothing ingredients and gentle exfoliants that keep pores clear without heavy oils.

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

You can use this moisturizing treatment around the eyes and on the body because its rich blend of squalane, sodium hyaluronate, and probiotics helps keep dry skin soft and smooth. Studies show that creams with similar nourishing ingredients and hyaluronic acid are well tolerated and help improve moisture and fine lines in thin areas like the eyes.

Polymers, 2023Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019

Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (parfum, linalool, and hexyl cinnamal). Cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
