Caution

  • LowCombination Skin Fit

Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin, as rice bran water and ceramides hydrate and enhance barrier resilience, but their emollient action may be overwhelming for your oily shine concerns.
  • While the formula is generally safe and free from harsh ingredients, its primary focus on hydration does not directly address your main goal of managing oily shine.
  • 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 moisturizer for its lightweight, milky texture that absorbs instantly to create a "glass skin" glow, making it a favorite for normal, combination, and oily skin types. It is frequently cited as insufficient for very dry skin in winter, and a notable minority of acne-prone users experienced breakouts linked to its coconut oil content.

Questions and answers

Why does Lovi advise caution with Anua Rice 70 Intensive Moisturizing Milk for combination skin?

Lovi advises caution because the rich moisturizing action of this milk may be overwhelming for your oily shine concerns and does not directly help manage them. Combination skin needs a product that provides hydration and brightness to reduce oily shine while soothing the skin without feeling heavy.

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

Rice bran water and ceramides make this moisturizer a poor fit for combination skin because their rich softening action may increase oily shine while hydrating. A better fit for this skin needs brightening ingredients to reduce oily shine along with gentle moisturizers.

What does Rice Bran Water do for combination skin?

Rice Bran Water helps hydrate dry areas while keeping oily spots balanced, making it a good fit for combination skin. It works by adding moisture without feeling heavy, and it is unlikely to irritate normal or sensitive areas.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022Journal of Nanobiotechnology, 2011

What do Ceramides do for combination skin?

Ceramides help balance combination skin by supporting the skin barrier to keep dry areas hydrated without feeling heavy on oily zones. This type of skin needs lightweight hydrators and barrier-supporting ingredients like ceramides and cholesterol to maintain a smooth and calm feel across both dry and oily areas.

American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2003Scientific Reports, 2022

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

This moisturizer goes as the final hydrating step in your morning routine and evening routine, though its softening action may feel too heavy for your oily areas. A moisturizer for this skin type needs lightweight hydrating ingredients that quench dry spots without adding extra 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. While this product is generally safe and helps strengthen your skin barrier, a product for combination skin also needs lightweight, oil-balancing ingredients to manage shine.

Cutis, 2006

How often should I use this moisturizer?

You can use this moisturizer twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine, though its rich formula may feel too heavy for your combination skin. Combination skin needs lighter, oil-free hydration and balancing ingredients that manage shine without overwhelming the skin.

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 purging since it does not contain exfoliating active ingredients, but some reviewers do report that it caused breakouts on their skin. A product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and oil-controlling ingredients to manage oily shine without clogging pores.

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

You can use this moisturizer around the eyes and on your body, as its gentle formula is safe and unlikely to cause irritation. Because the skin around the eyes is exceptionally thin, a gentle hydrating formula helps keep it soft without heavy residue.

What the research says

  • Application of Body Lotion for 5 weeks on cosmetic dry skin improved barrier properties, increased levels of cholesterol, ceramides, and long-chain fatty acids, increased beneficial skin bacteria, and enhanced microbiome functional potential compared to baseline.

    Scientific Reports, 2022

  • Topical gel and cream formulations containing niosomes entrapped with rice bran bioactive compounds improved skin hydration, lightening, thickness, roughness, and elasticity in 30 human volunteers over 28 days compared to baseline.

    Pharmaceutical Biology, 2012

  • Gel and cream formulations containing rice bran bioactive compounds entrapped in niosomes increased in vitro antioxidant activity (ORAC values of 20-28 micromol TE/g versus 16-18 micromol TE/g for placebo), enhanced lipid peroxidation inhibition in human sebum by about 1.5 times, and improved in vivo human skin hydration by approximately 3 to 30% depending on the measurement technique.
