## What the research says

- A combination of five-colored plants (mung bean, white truffle, black truffle, chrysanthemum, and Lycium barbarum) at 0.5% concentration improved fibroblast wound healing by 59.89%, reduced cellular senescence markers by 76.32%, and increased epidermal thickness and collagen levels in an ex vivo skin model compared to a negative control. ([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41340883/))
- Topical application of 0.1% hyaluronic acid formulations of different molecular weights led to significant improvements in skin hydration and elasticity, with low-molecular-weight formulations also significantly reducing wrinkle depth in seventy-six female subjects compared to a vehicle control. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22052267/))
- Topical application of hyaluronic acid in conjunction with free gingival graft significantly reduced donor site postoperative pain until day 7 compared to normal saline, with no significant differences in graft dimensions or patient satisfaction. ([Clinical Oral Investigations, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34623507/))
- Treatment with a hyaluronic acid-containing mouth rinse or topical gel led to significant lesion reduction, pain relief, and normalization of lesion color in adult patients with minor recurrent aphthous stomatitis, with the gel formulation showing an earlier healing onset at 3 days. ([BMC Oral Health, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31311529/))
- 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](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- 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](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31532576/))
- 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](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18498456/))
- Topical adenosine treatment significantly increased the anagen hair growth rate and thick hair rate compared to placebo in Japanese women with female pattern hair loss over 12 months. ([The Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19239555/))
- Topical application of a disodium adenosine monophosphate-based formulation reduced wrinkles and hyperpigmentation while improving hydration, barrier function, skin lifting, and epidermal turnover in female participants. ([International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42278371/))
- Adenosine and cordycepin stimulate the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway through adenosine receptor and PKA activation, promoting cell proliferation, migration, and growth factor secretion in cultured dermal fibroblasts. ([International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34070360/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise against the d'Alba Vital Spray Serum for combination skin?

This spray is a poor match because it may not properly balance oil and moisture for combination skin. A product of this type needs hydrating and balancing ingredients like green tea extract and niacinamide to manage oily shine and dryness without irritation.

### Which ingredients make this serum a poor fit for combination skin?

This serum is a poor fit for combination skin because its heavy oils like macadamia seed oil and avocado oil may overwhelm oily areas and trigger breakouts. A product of this type needs balancing ingredients like green tea extract and niacinamide to keep the skin calm and control shine while providing light moisture.

### What does White Truffle Extract do for combination skin?

White Truffle Extract helps keep combination skin smooth and balanced by giving it rich moisture that feels light and not greasy. It also helps calm dry spots while keeping your T-zone clear.

### What does Macadamia Seed Oil do for combination skin?

Macadamia seed oil helps balance combination skin by providing lightweight moisture that softens dry areas without feeling heavy on oily zones. It strengthens the skin barrier and supports skin recovery to keep the face smooth and calm.

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

This spray serum is a poor match for combination skin, so Lovi advises against using it here. Combination skin needs lighter, balancing treatments with ingredients like niacinamide or green tea extract to keep oily and dry zones comfortable.

### Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?

This product is a poor match for your skin, so it is best to avoid it when using retinol to prevent heavy buildup and irritation. Combination skin needs lightweight, balancing hydrating treatments with soothing plant extracts and hyaluronic acid that keep oily areas clear without clogging pores.

### How often should I use this serum?

This product is a poor match for combination skin, so Lovi advises against using it. A moisturizing treatment for this skin type needs balancing hydration and lightweight plant extracts to keep dry areas soft without making oily zones greasy.

### Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for combination skin?

It may clog pores and cause breakouts on combination skin because it contains rich oils like macadamia seed and avocado oil that can feel too heavy. Combination skin needs lighter, oil-free hydration and balancing ingredients like niacinamide or gentle AHAs to keep pores clear.

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

This moisturizing treatment is a poor match for combination skin and is not advised for use around the eyes or on the body. Combination skin needs lightweight, balancing formulas with ingredients like niacinamide and salicylic acid rather than heavy oils to stay smooth and calm.

### Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (linalool, hexyl cinnamal, limonene, citronellol, and geraniol).
