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

Brand: [L'Oréal](https://lovi.care/skincare/sg/brands/l-oreal)
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 moderate moisturizing for your combination skin due to glycerin and water-soluble collagen, which hydrate and plump without being overly heavy. However, the lack of specialized ingredients means it does not effectively address your oily shine concerns.
- The formula is safe for your combination skin, as it contains no harsh or prohibited ingredients that would cause irritation.

## 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/))
- Both oral and topical collagen supplements help delay the skin aging process by improving moisture, elasticity, and hydration, with no differences arising between the two types of collagen. ([Dermatology Practical & Conceptual, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35223163/))
- The use of cosmetic products containing collagen or its peptides improves the general condition of the skin, reduces wrinkle depth, improves hydration and density, reduces transepithelial water loss, and delays the aging process, while oral bioactive collagen peptides also reduce nail breakage. ([Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38534748/))
- 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/))
- Topical application of TAC/Collagen postbiotics gel improved skin moisture score and inflammation index, and reduced porphyrins and brown spots in 20 volunteers with acne vulgaris. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35818134/))
- Topical collagen tripeptide application improved skin wrinkles, elasticity, and density while reducing advanced glycated end products in 22 Asian women over 4 weeks. ([International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2022](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35163025/))
- Marine collagen extracted from Greenland halibut skin showed a non-cytotoxic effect on fibroblast cells and provided a slight skin hydration effect when incorporated into cosmetic hydrogel formulations at dosages of 0.1, 0.25, and 0.5% in 23 healthy volunteers. ([Marine Drugs, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36827098/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is L'Oréal Collagen Moisture Filler a weak match for combination skin?

This cream is a weak match because it only provides moderate hydration and lacks specialized ingredients to help control your oily shine. A better moisturizing treatment for combination skin needs effective brightening and hydrating ingredients, plus soothing agents and antioxidants to manage both dry areas and excess oil.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/), [Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38534748/)

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

This cream is a weak match for your combination skin because it lacks specialized ingredients to address your oily shine. A better product for this skin type needs brightening agents, soothing ingredients, antioxidants, and multiple peptides to manage oil and hydration at the same time.

### 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 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 moisturizing treatment goes in the morning and evening routine after cleansing and toning, and before sunscreen in the morning. Combination skin needs a product of this type that also includes specialized ingredients to effectively control oily shine.

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

You can use this cream with retinol by applying your retinol first and following with this moisturizer to keep your skin soft and comfortable. This product has a safe formula that is unlikely to cause irritation, but a product for combination skin also needs oil-controlling ingredients to properly manage shiny areas.

### How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing treatment daily to help keep your skin soft and hydrated. A product of this type for combination skin also needs oil-controlling ingredients to help manage shiny areas.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32141711/), [Health Science Reports, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34141902/)

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

This cream is unlikely to clog pores or cause breakouts on combination skin because its formula avoids harsh ingredients that typically trigger irritation. However, because it lacks specialized oil-controlling ingredients, combination skin needs a formula that also helps manage excess shine and oily areas.

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

You can safely use this moisturizing treatment on the thin skin around your eyes and on your body because its formula is gentle and free of harsh ingredients. The eyelid is among the thinnest areas of skin, making gentle hydration helpful for avoiding irritation while keeping the skin soft.
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.
