Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing and treatment for your combination skin, as sodium hyaluronate and shea butter hydrate and enhance barrier resilience, though it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas.
- The product provides general skincare benefits like antioxidant support from Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate, which is mostly supportive for your main goal of addressing oily shine.
- The safety profile is excellent due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract and Jasmine Oil, posing no risk of irritation for your combination skin.
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.

Questions and answers
How well does the Triple C Night Cream work for combination skin?
This cream works moderately well for combination skin by offering basic hydration, but it lacks enough ingredients for proper oil control on oily areas. A moisturizing treatment for this skin needs targeted ingredients that manage oil while providing balanced hydration without feeling heavy.
Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for combination skin?
Sodium hyaluronate and shea butter make this cream a good fit by hydrating your skin and strengthening its barrier. However, it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control on your oily areas, so combination skin needs a product of this type to include ingredients that target both hydration and brightness while managing excess oil.
What does Reishi Mushroom Extract do for combination skin?
Reishi Mushroom Extract helps balance combination skin by calming redness, fighting oxidative stress, and supporting skin barrier health. It may also reduce excess oil and soothe dry patches, making it a versatile addition to your routine. A product for this skin type needs soothing and antioxidant ingredients like niacinamide or green tea extract to keep both dry and oily areas smooth and comfortable.

What does Turmeric Root Extract do for combination skin?
Turmeric Root Extract helps calm and soothe combination skin while fighting everyday damage with antioxidants. It may also improve skin smoothness and overall texture when used consistently in your routine.
Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2023Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2014
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for combination skin?
This cream goes in the evening routine as a moisturizing treatment after your cleanser and cleansing toner. It offers moderate hydration and antioxidant support, but a product for combination skin also needs strong oil control ingredients to better balance oily areas.
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cream with retinol by applying your retinol first, letting it absorb, and then following with this moisturizer to help keep your skin calm and comfortable. This type of product needs extra oil-controlling ingredients to properly balance oily areas while keeping dry spots soft.
How often should I use this cream?
You can use this moisturizing treatment in the evening as part of your routine. It is unlikely to cause irritation on combination skin.
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?
This cream is unlikely to cause irritation or breakouts on your combination skin because it has a very safe formula with soothing ingredients, though some shoppers do find it a bit heavy or greasy. A product for this skin type needs lighter hydrators and ingredients that help balance oily areas while keeping dry spots soft.
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
This cream is safe to use around the eyes or on the body, as its gentle formula poses no risk of irritation for your skin. Regular application of eye and face creams helps smooth fine lines in the periorbital area while being very well tolerated.
European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics, 2014Polymers, 2023
Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetyl alcohol and stearyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
What the research says
Topical application of soap enriched with Ganoderma lucidum and goat's milk for 3 days resulted in almost complete regression of annular cutaneous sarcoidosis lesions in a 44-year-old male patient.
Dermatology and Therapy, 2016Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides at concentrations of 10, 20, and 40 ΓΖg/mL significantly increased fibroblast viability, migration, and CICP and TGF-Β1 expression compared to the control group, and external use in mice significantly increased wound healing rates and reduced healing time.
Chinese Journal of Integrative Medicine, 2019Ethanolic extracts of Ganoderma lucidum rich in triterpenoids and phenolic acids exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antityrosinase, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic effects, and can be successfully incorporated into topical cosmeceutical formulations while preserving their bioactivities.
Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2017Topical application of curcumin or turmeric treats various skin conditions by leveraging antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2023Topical formulations of curcumin target oxidative damage and inflammation to improve wound healing in animal models.
Drug Discovery Today, 2017A curcumin-loaded spanlastic anti-aging gel utilizing formula F5 incorporated into 2% HPMC E50 demonstrated sustained release action, compatibility, and the ability to penetrate skin layers to a depth of about 112.5 um without signs of irritation.
