Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works
Lovi Assistant explains
- Offers moderate wrinkle reduction for you due to peptides like Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and Acetyl Octapeptide-3, which help relax facial muscles, but these ingredients are not directly relevant to your primary concern of oily shine.
- The formula is highly suitable for your oily skin, with Glycerin and Sodium Hyaluronate providing essential hydration without exacerbating greasiness.
- The product is safe for your skin, as it contains soothing ingredients like Arnica Montana Flower Extract and Tocopherol, and lacks harsh or prohibited substances.
How to apply
- Use this serum in your PM routine. Start by applying it 3 times a week and build up to daily use if your skin tolerates it well.
- Apply the serum after cleansing and toning, but right before your moisturizer for the best results.
- Gently press 2-3 drops of the serum into your skin. Let it absorb ⏱ for a minute before applying the next product.
- Apply the serum on clean and dry skin since your skin is not sensitive and you want to target oily shine. This helps control excess oil throughout the night.
- Avoid the delicate eye area and do a patch test before using the serum for the very first time.

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

What do Peptides do for oily skin?
Acetyl hexapeptide-8 reduces wrinkle depth, improves skin elasticity, and enhances hydration, though its low skin penetration can limit how well it works. For oily skin, it helps keep the face looking smooth while supporting moisture levels without feeling heavy.
What does Hyaluronic Acid do for oily skin?
Hyaluronic acid helps oily skin by reducing extra oil and sebum production without causing irritation. Clinical studies show it successfully balances oil levels while keeping the skin comfortable.
Where does this serum go in a skincare routine for oily skin?
This treatment goes in the evening routine after cleansing and before moisturizing. A product for oily skin needs lightweight hydrators like glycerin and hyaluronic acid along with oil-balancing ingredients to better address excess shine.
Can I use this serum with retinol, and in what order?
You can use this treatment alongside retinol, applying the treatment after cleansing and before your moisturizer or retinol depending on your routine. This product provides light hydration and soothing extracts that are unlikely to irritate, but oily skin also needs targeted ingredients like salicylic acid or niacinamide to help control excess shine.
How often should I use this serum?

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

Oily skin often benefits most from oil-free hydrators and balancing ingredients that control shine while keeping pores clear.
Is this serum fragrance-free and alcohol-free?
Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol.
