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

Brand: [Eucerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/brands/eucerin)
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 weak match for combination skin; the moisturizers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers excellent moisturizing for your combination skin due to glycerin and urea, which hydrate and enhance barrier resilience, but the formula lacks targeted ingredients for your oily shine concerns.
- While the absence of harsh ingredients ensures good safety for your combination skin, the presence of urea and lactic acid may be too rich for your oily areas.

## What the research says

- 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/))
- Topical 40% urea cream achieved improvement in less time and showed superiority over 12% ammonium lactate lotion in skin roughness, fissure reduction, thickness, and dryness at day 14 in patients treated for moderate to severe xerosis. ([American Journal of Clinical Dermatology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11978141/))
- Topical treatment with K101 achieved a significantly higher mycological cure rate compared to placebo in patients with ≤50% nail involvement (27.2% vs 10.4%), while showing early visible improvements in nail appearance and no safety issues. ([Mycoses, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22681227/))
- 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/))
- Niacinamide/glycerin body moisturizers provided better rapid and prolonged improvement of cosmetic xerosis through functional improvement of stratum corneum barrier function compared to no treatment and conventional moisturizers in female subjects. ([Journal of Drugs in Dermatology, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22206073/))
- A combination cream of stimu-tex AS and saccharide isomerate reduced erythema, increased skin capacitance, and reduced transepidermal water loss compared to placebo in 20 subjects after fractional CO2 laser procedure without causing serious adverse events. ([Lasers in Medical Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41134387/))
- A skin barrier restoring cream with shea butter, silkflo, and vitamin E increased type I procollagen synthesis, enhanced antioxidant enzyme activity, decreased reactive oxygen species generation, and promoted hyaluronic acid production in H2O2-stimulated human keratinocyte cells compared to untreated cells. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2025](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39528438/))

## 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.

## Questions and answers

### Why is Eucerin Urea Repair Face Cream a weak match for combination skin?

This moisturizer is a weak match because it lacks targeted ingredients to help reduce oily shine, and its rich ingredients may feel too heavy for your oily areas. A moisturizer for combination skin needs to provide hydration while managing excess oil, using brightening ingredients, soothing agents, and peptides without causing 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?

Urea and lactic acid may feel too rich for your oily areas and the formula lacks targeted ingredients for your oily shine concerns. A moisturizer of this type needs effective brightening ingredients, soothing agents, and antioxidants that target hydration and brightness while reducing oily shine.

### What does Urea do for combination skin?

Urea is a poor fit for combination skin because it is designed for very dry, scaly skin and may overwhelm oily areas. Combination skin needs lighter, balancing hydrators and gentle exfoliants that provide moisture without feeling heavy.

### What does Glycerin do for combination skin?

Glycerin helps keep combination skin soft and smooth by pulling moisture in and keeping it there. It improves hydration and supports your skin barrier, which is unlikely to cause irritation.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This cream goes toward the end of your morning and evening routines, right before sunscreen in the morning and as your final step at night. Because it is a weak match for combination skin and may be too rich for oily areas, this skin type needs a lightweight, balancing moisturizer with oil-controlling ingredients.
Sources: [The Journal of Dermatological Treatment, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32239984/)

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

You can use this cream with retinol by applying the retinol first and then following with this moisturizer. A moisturizer of this type helps keep your skin soft and comfortable, and using it alongside retinol is unlikely to cause irritation while helping your skin adjust to the treatment.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/)

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this cream twice a day as part of your morning and evening routine, though the rich ingredients may feel too heavy on oily areas of combination skin. A combination skin moisturizer of this type needs lightweight hydrators and balancing ingredients to control shine while keeping dry areas soft and smooth.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Skin Pharmacology and Physiology, 2026](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41231732/)

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

This cream is unlikely to cause purging since it does not contain active ingredients that speed up cell turnover, but its rich ingredients like shea butter and urea may feel too heavy for the oily areas of combination skin and could potentially lead to clogged pores or breakouts. To better suit combination skin, a product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and oil-balancing ingredients that keep dry areas soft without adding extra shine.

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

This cream is generally safe to use around the eyes and on the body, though the thin skin around the eyes requires lightweight hydration while body skin often benefits from richer moisturizers. Because the skin on the eyelids is much thinner than on other areas, a product of this type needs a gentle, lightweight formula that absorbs easily without feeling heavy.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

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

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