Page built Nov 8, 2026How the Fit score works

Lovi Assistant explains

  • Excellent suitability for your oily skin is provided by Melaleuca Alternifolia Tree Leaf Extract and Willow Bark Extract, which offer potent seboregulation and keratolytic action to address oily shine.
  • The high concentration of Melaleuca Alternifolia Tree Leaf Extract ensures excellent treatment for acne-prone skin by reducing acne lesions and blemishes.
  • The safety profile is excellent, with no risks of irritation for your oily skin due to the absence of harsh ingredients and the presence of soothing agents like Melaleuca Alternifolia Tree Leaf Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.

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.

People Say

★4.5Overall rating based on 200+ reviews

Users with oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin frequently praise this essence for its lightweight, watery texture that effectively soothes redness and inflammation without clogging pores. Some users with dry or dehydrated skin find it insufficient for hydration on its own, and a low number of reviews suggest it is more effective at calming existing irritation than preventing new breakouts.
