Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate moisturizing for your combination skin, as castor oil hydrates and conditions, but it may be too heavy for your oily areas and does not address your oily shine concerns.
  • While the product provides general skincare benefits, it lacks specialized ingredients for oil control, which is your main goal.
