Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate moisturizing and treatment for your oily skin, as Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate hydrate and plump, but it lacks targeted ingredients to address oily shine, potentially worsening the condition.
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Panax Ginseng Root Extract provide soothing benefits, contributing to general skincare, though stronger oil-control agents would enhance suitability for your oily skin.
How to apply
- Could be used as part of your AM or PM routine every day to keep your face fresh.
- Apply this moisturizer after cleansing and toning, but right before your SPF in the morning.
- Gently press a small amount into your skin and let it absorb fully.
- Apply on clean, slightly dry skin to help control that oily shine.
- Avoid the eye area and do a quick patch test before your first use.

Questions and answers
Why is AmorePacific Time Response Skin Renewal Creme a weak match for oily skin?
AmorePacific Time Response Skin Renewal Creme is a weak match for oily skin because it lacks targeted ingredients to address oily shine, which may worsen the condition. A moisturizing treatment for oily skin needs effective oil-control agents and a lightweight texture that supports the skin barrier without heavy oils or pore-clogging ingredients.
Which ingredients make this cream a poor fit for oily skin?
This cream is a weak match because it lacks ingredients that control oily shine, and a product of this type needs lightweight textures, no heavy oils, and ingredients that support the skin barrier while managing oil without clogging pores.
What does Green Tea Extract do for oily skin?
Green tea extract helps calm oily skin by significantly reducing oil production when used regularly over several weeks. It also helps protect the skin from sun-related damage and oxidative stress.
Bosnian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences, 2010Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, 2001
What does Panax Ginseng Extract do for oily skin?
Panax Ginseng Extract helps oily skin by reducing oxidized sebum and calming skin redness. It is unlikely to cause irritation and may improve early-stage acne symptoms with regular use.
Where does this cream go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This cream goes in the moisturizer step, used in both the morning and evening routines. Because it is a weak match for oily skin, a product of this type needs oil-control ingredients to help keep shine under control.
Can I use this cream with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this cream with retinol by applying the treatment first and following with this moisturizer to help keep your skin comfortable and soft. Using a barrier-supporting moisturizer helps reduce irritation when using retinol.
How often should I use this cream?
This cream is a weak match for oily skin because it offers moderate moisture and soothing benefits but lacks targeted ingredients to control oily shine, potentially making it worse. A product for this skin needs strong oil-control agents to help balance oil production.
Can this cream clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?
This cream is unlikely to cause breakouts for oily skin, as its breakout potential is low, but it may add unwanted shine since it lacks targeted oil-control ingredients. An effective cream for oily skin needs balancing ingredients like niacinamide or clay to help keep shine under control.
Can I use this cream around the eyes or on my body?
You can use this cream on the thin skin around your eyes and on your body, but it is a weak match for oily skin because it lacks targeted oil-control ingredients. Oily skin of this type needs lightweight hydrators and powerful shine-reducing agents to stay balanced and clear.
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.
