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: [Lancôme](https://lovi.care/skincare/ae/brands/lancome)
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

- Offers moderate hydration and pore-refining benefits for your oily skin due to glycerin and capryloyl salicylic acid, but these are not specialized enough to significantly address concerns about oily shine.
- The presence of capryloyl salicylic acid offers moderate suitability for oily skin with its keratolytic action, though it lacks sufficient ingredients for optimal oil control.

## What the research says

- Daily treatment with a facial serum containing multiple acids reduced post-inflammatory hyperchromia lesion grade and number by 29.4% at 56 days, and decreased skin oiliness by 30.7% at 7 days in Brazilian patients with acne vulgaris. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33617668/))
- 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.

([Clinical and Experimental Dermatology, 2007](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17137484/))

## Questions and answers

### Why does Lovi advise caution with Lancôme Rénergie for oily skin?

Lovi advises caution because this product offers only moderate hydration and pore-refining benefits that are not specialized enough to significantly address oily shine. To properly fit oily skin, a moisturizing treatment needs effective ingredients for oil control and hydration along with a lightweight texture free of heavy oils.
Sources: [Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/)

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

This cream is a poor fit for oily skin because its ingredients do not provide enough oil control to significantly help with oily shine. A product for oily skin needs a lightweight texture with effective hydrating agents, soothing ingredients, and peptides, without heavy oils.

### 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/)

### 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 moisturizing treatment goes in the morning routine after a hydrating toner and before sunscreen, or in the evening routine as the final step after a treatment. Because this product is a poor match for oily skin, an ideal product of this type for your skin needs specialized oil-controlling ingredients and mattifying agents to properly manage oily shine.

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

You can use this treatment with retinol, but apply your retinol first and follow with this moisturizing treatment. Using a moisturizer with this routine helps keep your skin comfortable and supports your skin barrier while you use retinol.
Sources: [Cutis, 2006](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17121065/), [The Journal of Dermatology, 2014](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24930436/)

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a poor match for oily skin because it lacks specialized ingredients for strong oil control. Oily skin needs targeted ingredients like clay or strong balancing acids to keep shine under control.

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

This cream is unlikely to cause purging, but it may feel heavy and fail to control shine on oily skin because it lacks specialized oil-balancing ingredients. Oily skin needs targeted mattifying agents and lightweight hydration to stay clear and fresh.
Sources: [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33617668/)

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

This moisturizing treatment is generally not meant for the very thin skin around the eyes where specialized care is typically required, though it can be applied to the body. A moisturizing treatment for the thin eye area needs lightweight hydrators and gentle soothing ingredients that do not cause irritation.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

### Is this cream fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (alcohol denat).
