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: [Eucerin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/brands/eucerin)

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 products alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Extremely low suitability for your oily skin due to the emollient action of shea butter and caprylic capric triglyceride, which may feel too heavy and contribute to shine.
- While glycerin and urea offer excellent moisturizing benefits and enhance barrier resilience, their hydrating effects are overshadowed by the potential for pore-clogging ingredients.

## 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/))
- 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 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/))
- 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/))
- Specially neutralized 12% lactate lotion provided significantly greater reductions in xerosis severity scores compared with a nonlactated emollient lotion and a 5% lactic acid lotion during the post-treatment regression period in sixty patients with moderate to severe xerosis. ([Archives of Dermatology, 1983](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6336928/))
- Long-pulsed alexandrite laser achieved a significantly greater mean percent reduction in pigmentation area compared to topical tretinoin-ammonium lactate (25.7% versus 18.3%) in 15 patients with bilateral axillary acanthosis nigricans over 14 weeks. ([Caspian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2016](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27999648/))
- Topical application of 5% aqueous lactate lotion twice a day for 1 year achieved a 90-100% reduction in inflammatory lesions in 40.9% of patients and in non-inflammatory lesions in 22.7% of patients, with most patients showing significant reduction in lesion counts. ([Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17656910/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise against Eucerin Advanced Repair Lotion for oily skin?

Lovi advises against this lotion for oily skin because the heavy shea butter and other rich oils may feel too heavy and add unwanted shine. Oily skin needs a lightweight lotion with peptides and hydrating agents that provide moisture without heavy oils or pore-clogging ingredients.

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

Shea butter and caprylic capric triglyceride make this body lotion a poor fit because they feel too heavy on oily skin and may contribute to shine. A body lotion for this skin needs lightweight hydrators and peptides, along with a lack of heavy oils to keep pores clear and control oiliness.

### What do Ceramides do for oily skin?

Ceramides help keep oily skin balanced by strengthening the skin barrier and locking in moisture without feeling heavy. They are unlikely to clog pores and may help calm irritation, making them a good fit if your skin is both oily and prone to breakouts.

### What does Glycerin do for oily skin?

Glycerin helps keep oily skin hydrated without feeling heavy and supports the skin barrier. Because this product is a weak fit for your skin, an ideal product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and ingredients that balance oil while protecting the skin.
Sources: [The British Journal of Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18510666/), [International Journal of Toxicology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31840548/)
