Lovi Assistant explains

How to apply
- Use this moisturizer in your AM and PM routine every day to control shine. Always pair with SPF in the morning.

What does Aloe Vera Leaf Juice do for combination skin?
Aloe vera leaf juice helps keep combination skin hydrated by increasing water content without making it oily. It also helps calm redness and supports skin recovery.
Skin Research and Technology, 2006Clinical Pharmacology, 2018
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.
Where does this moisturizer go in a skincare routine for combination skin?
In your routine for combination skin, this moisturizer goes after toner in the morning and after treatment in the evening. Combination skin requires a lightweight hydrator with balancing ingredients like aloe and glycerin to keep oily areas comfortable while providing gentle moisture.
Can I use this moisturizer with retinol, and in what order?
How often should I use this moisturizer?
You can use this moisturizer morning and evening to help keep your combination skin hydrated and calm. Applying a moisturizer daily helps support the skin barrier, and a product of this type for combination skin needs balancing ingredients like hyaluronic acid and ceramides to provide lasting moisture without feeling heavy.
Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021
Can this moisturizer clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?
This moisturizer is unlikely to cause breakouts or clog pores on combination skin, as its simple formula lacks heavy oils and harsh ingredients that typically trigger irritation or congestion. Because this product is only a weak match for your skin, combination skin usually needs a richer cream with heavier moisturizing ingredients and skin-softening oils to properly balance dry and oily areas.
Can I use this moisturizer around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this moisturizer on your body and around the eyes, as it is generally safe with no harsh ingredients that typically cause irritation. Because the skin in these areas can be quite thin, a product of this type needs gentle hydration and soothing ingredients to keep the skin comfortable and balanced without feeling heavy.
What the research says
A cream combining propolis, tea tree oil, and Aloe vera reduced erythema scars, acne severity index, and total lesion count better than erythromycin cream in sixty patients with mild to moderate acne vulgaris compared to placebo.
Clinical Pharmacology, 2018Topical aloe vera gel significantly accelerated split-thickness skin graft donor-site healing compared to placebo in 12 patients, but showed no significant difference in pain relief.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2018Topical application of Aloe vera cream reduced postoperative pain at rest and during defecation, accelerated wound healing at two weeks, and decreased analgesic requirements in patients after open hemorrhoidectomy compared to placebo.
Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2010A 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, 2017The 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, 2020Ten 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.
