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

Brand: [Estée Lauder](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/brands/estee-lauder)
Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/best/moisturizers)

This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with oily skin: shine, enlarged pores, blackheads, and blemishes. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

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

## Why this fit

- Extremely low suitability for your oily skin due to the presence of squalane and dimethicone, which can feel heavy and potentially exacerbate oily shine. While glycerin and hyaluronic acid offer hydration, they do not counteract the occlusive nature of these emollients for your specific concern.
- The formula provides general hydration and soothing benefits from ingredients like Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, but it lacks targeted actives to effectively manage oily shine.

## What the research says

- Wearing an N95 mask alone compared to using dimethicone cream or hydrocolloid dressing caused more adverse skin reactions among 73 military health care workers, with no significant differences in fit test failure rates between groups. ([Military Medicine, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38771104/))
- A dimethicone skin protectant lotion significantly decreased visual scoring and transepidermal water loss compared to vehicle control and SLS-only treated sites in 12 healthy humans exposed to sodium lauryl sulfate. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11428946/))
- Treatment with a moisturizer containing dimethicone and glycerine increased epidermal thickness by 0.019 mm, improved barrier function by decreasing transepidermal water loss by 13%, decreased melanin intensity, and induced keratins 6 and 16 in fifteen women with moderately photoaged forearms. ([Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17137484/))
- 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/))
- 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/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise against Estée Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ for oily skin?

Estée Lauder Revitalizing Supreme+ is a poor match for oily skin because ingredients like squalane and dimethicone can feel heavy and may make oily shine worse. A moisturizer for this skin needs a lightweight texture with hydrating agents and peptides, without heavy oils, to manage oiliness while keeping the skin hydrated.

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

Squalane and dimethicone make this cream a poor fit because they can feel heavy and may worsen oily shine. An oily skin type needs a moisturizing treatment with lightweight hydrating agents and peptides that provide hydration without heavy oils or clogging pores.

### What does Water do for oily skin?

Water helps keep oily skin hydrated without adding grease or clogging pores. Keeping oily skin properly hydrated may also help balance oil production and reduce unwanted shine.

### What does Dimethicone do for oily skin?

Dimethicone helps protect skin and lock in moisture, though it may have limited performance compared to petrolatum. For oily skin, a product of this type needs a lightweight, oil-free formula that hydrates without clogging pores.
Sources: [Ostomy/wound Management, 2005](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16439809/)

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

This cream is a poor match for oily skin because ingredients like squalane and dimethicone can feel heavy and worsen shine. Oily skin needs lightweight hydration and balancing ingredients like niacinamide or oil-controlling actives instead of heavy sealing ingredients.

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

This moisturizing treatment is a poor fit for oily skin because ingredients like squalane and dimethicone can feel heavy and may worsen oily shine. When using it with retinol, apply your retinol first and follow with the cream to help keep skin soft. Oily skin works best with lightweight hydrators and ingredients that help manage shine instead of heavy smoothing ingredients.

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for oily skin because ingredients like squalane and dimethicone can feel heavy and worsen shine. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydration and balancing ingredients that control excess oil without heavy sealing agents.

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

This cream is unlikely to cause purging, but it may clog pores and feel heavy on oily skin. It contains squalane and dimethicone, which can trap oil and make shine worse. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydrators and ingredients that help balance excess oil without heavy barrier creams.

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

This moisturizing treatment is not ideal for the thin skin around your eyes or your body because it is formulated for facial use. For the very thin skin around the eyes and different body areas, you need lightweight hydrators and gentle soothing ingredients that absorb 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.
