Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Offers moderate suitability for your oily skin as niacinamide helps with seboregulation and glycerin provides humectant action, though stronger oil-controlling ingredients are absent.
  • The presence of Sea Water and sodium hyaluronate offers general hydration and soothing benefits for your oily skin.
  • The product is safe for your oily skin with no risks of irritation due to the absence of prohibited or harsh ingredients.

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

How well does Purito Deep Sea Pure Water Cream work for oily skin?

Purito Deep Sea Pure Water Cream works moderately well for oily skin as it provides hydration and helps calm the skin, though it lacks stronger oil-controlling ingredients. Oily skin of this type needs a lightweight texture with ingredients that manage shine, support the skin barrier, and avoid heavy oils.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

Which ingredients make this cream a good fit for oily skin?

Niacinamide and glycerin make this cream a good fit for oily skin by helping control oil and providing lightweight moisture. To work best for oily skin, a product of this type needs peptides and hydrating agents that maintain a lightweight texture without heavy oils.

Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017

What does Sea Water do for oily skin?

Sea water is unlikely to directly treat oily skin, as its benefits focus on calming irritation, reducing redness, and improving hydration for dry and sensitive skin types. To properly care for oily skin, a product of this type needs lightweight ingredients that balance oil production, clear pores, and maintain moisture without feeling heavy.

Experimental Dermatology, 2019

What does Niacinamide do for oily skin?

Niacinamide helps balance oily skin by significantly reducing excess oil production and shine. It is well tolerated and may improve skin texture without clogging pores.

Journal of Cosmetic and Laser Therapy, 2006Antioxidants, 2021

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

This moisturizing treatment goes after your cleanser, toner, and any treatment serums in your morning and evening routines. It is unlikely to irritate your skin, but oily skin also needs stronger oil-controlling ingredients to manage shine best.

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2020

Can I use it with retinol, and in what order?

You can use this moisturizer with retinol, applying it after your retinol treatment to help soothe your skin. Using a moisturizer alongside retinol helps reduce dryness and keeps your skin comfortable.

Cutis, 2006The Journal of Dermatology, 2014

How often should I use this cream?

You can use this moisturizing treatment twice daily as part of your morning and evening routine. Daily application helps keep your oily skin hydrated and calm while supporting a healthy skin barrier. To achieve better oil control, this skin type needs stronger oil-regulating ingredients.

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2020Health Science Reports, 2021

Can it clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for oily skin?

This cream is unlikely to cause irritation on oily skin, though breakouts are possible since some reviewers found it caused them. Oily skin generally needs lightweight, oil-free formulas with stronger oil-controlling and pore-clearing ingredients to stay clear.

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

You can use this cream around your eyes and on your body as it has a very safe and gentle makeup. To properly care for the very thin skin found around the eyes, this skin type needs targeted lightweight hydration and soothing ingredients without heavy oils.

Is it fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
