The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Singapore.

Brand: [Dermasil](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/brands/dermasil)
Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/best/moisturizers)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with combination skin: an oily T-zone, enlarged pores, and dry cheeks. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A poor match for combination skin; the moisturizers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin with glycerin and hyaluronic acid, but lacks sufficient ingredients to optimally address oily shine.
- Squalane provides emollient action, which is beneficial for combination skin, but the overall formula offers general skincare benefits rather than targeted solutions for your specific concerns.

([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))
- Topical application of a vitamin C-squalene bioconjugate significantly increased epidermal thickness, type III collagen production, and glycosaminoglycans production in human skin explants compared to free vitamin C and vitamin C-palmitate. ([Scientific Reports, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33037252/))
- Squalane at 0.005-0.015% counteracts UVA-induced oxidative stress, inflammation, and collagen metabolism inhibition while stimulating fibroblast migration in human dermal fibroblasts. ([Molecules, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40363772/))
- Liquid coco-caprylate/caprate combined with electrogenic Staphylococcus epidermidis significantly reduced UV-B-induced skin injuries in mice compared to poorly electrogenic isolates. ([Scientific Reports, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33299009/))

## What reviewers say

Based on limited data, this night cream is frequently praised for its affordability and lightweight, non-greasy texture that leaves normal to combination skin feeling soft. However, some users with very dry skin find it not hydrating enough, and a small number report experiencing skin irritation.

- Liked: Non-greasy texture (often mentioned)
- Liked: Softens skin (often mentioned)
- Liked: Absorbs well (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Insufficient hydration (sometimes noted)

## 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

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Dermasil NIGHT CREAM for combination skin?

This cream is a poor match for your combination skin because it only offers moderate moisture and lacks sufficient ingredients to reduce oily shine. A moisturizing treatment for combination skin needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients to reduce oily shine without risk of irritation.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This cream is a poor fit for your combination skin because it lacks sufficient ingredients to optimally address oily shine. A product for this skin needs effective brightening and moisturizing ingredients that reduce oily shine without risk of irritation, along with soothing agents, antioxidants, and multiple peptides to balance hydration.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### 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.

### What does Coco-Caprylate do for combination skin?

Coco-caprylate helps keep combination skin feeling soft and smooth without leaving a heavy or greasy feel behind. It acts as a lightweight conditioner that spreads easily and absorbs fast, making it comfortable for both dry and oily areas.

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

This cream goes in the moisturizer step, applied after your cleanser, hydrating toner, and treatment in the evening, and after your sunscreen in the morning. Combination skin needs a product that provides light moisture while actively managing oily shine.

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

You should use this moisturizer after applying your retinol treatment to help buffer potential dryness and keep your skin soft. A moisturizing treatment of this type for combination skin needs balancing ingredients like niacinamide or lightweight hydrators to manage oily shine while maintaining moisture.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for your combination skin, as it lacks sufficient ingredients to balance oily shine. Combination skin needs targeted products with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and glycerin for moisture alongside oil-controlling agents.

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

This cream is a poor match for your combination skin because it offers only general hydration and lacks ingredients to control oily shine. A product for this skin type needs targeted ingredients that balance oil and moisture without heavy oils that may clog pores.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This cream is generally suitable for use on both the body and the delicate skin around the eyes, though it is only a cautious match for combination facial skin. A moisturizing treatment for these areas needs gentle hydrators like glycerin and hyaluronic acid to keep skin soft without feeling heavy.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

### Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
