The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Australia.

Brand: [L'Oreal Paris](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/brands/l-oreal-paris)
Category: [Moisturizers and moisturizing serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/au/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 weak match for oily skin; the moisturizers alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Suboptimal for your oily skin due to the presence of mineral oil and paraffin, which can contribute to pore-clogging and exacerbate oiliness, offering limited benefits for your oily shine.
- While glycerin provides moderate hydration and retinyl palmitate aims to smooth texture, these functions are not primary concerns for managing oily shine.

Pro-Retinol A, Stimuplex, Centella Asiatica, Hydrolyzed Soy Protein, Glycerin

## 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/))
- Retinyl palmitate-loaded non-ionic lamellar liquid crystalline systems provided a significant reduction of orbicular wrinkles in human volunteers compared to systems without retinyl palmitate. ([Colloids and Surfaces. B, Biointerfaces, 2011](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21411295/))
- Over-the-counter retinol products provided only weak evidence for a mild ameliorating effect on fine facial skin wrinkle lines in randomized, double-blind, vehicle-controlled trials, and major methodological flaws call the validity of positive results into question. ([The Journal of Clinical and Aesthetic Dermatology, 2021](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34980969/))
- A cosmetic niacinamide/peptide/retinyl propionate regimen significantly improved periorbital wrinkle appearance relative to a 0.02% tretinoin regimen at 8 weeks with comparable benefits at 24 weeks, while demonstrating significantly better tolerability in 196 women. ([The British Journal of Dermatology, 2010](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20374604/))
- A novel triple-active cosmetic formulation containing 4-hexylresorcinol, retinyl propionate, and niacinamide improved the visual appearance of photoageing similarly to 0.02% tretinoin and reversed a consensus gene signature associated with ageing in female adults while causing less skin irritation. ([International Journal of Cosmetic Science, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38685700/))
- Topical application of 0.05% w/w ECa 233 gel reduced erythema index by 0.03 U and improved early crusting and general wound appearance compared to placebo in thirty individuals undergoing facial laser resurfacing. ([Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32310680/))
- Moisturizer containing 5% panthenol, madecassoside, and copper-zinc-manganese decreased adverse reactions and downtime after ablative fractional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing with comparable efficacy to 0.02% triamcinolone acetonide cream in 20 subjects. ([Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2019](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30945430/))
- Topical treatment with 5% vitamin C and 0.1% madecassoside significantly improved clinical scores for wrinkles, suppleness, firmness, roughness, and skin hydration, along with functional and structural remodeling of the elastic fiber network in 20 female volunteers with photoaged skin after 6 months compared to baseline. ([Experimental Dermatology, 2008](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18503551/))
- 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/))

## What reviewers say

Based on a very large amount of data, this night cream is highly recommended for mature and dry skin types, offering significant hydration and a non-greasy feel that leaves skin feeling softer and looking smoother with diminished fine lines. However, users with sensitive skin frequently report issues with its strong fragrance and potential for irritation, and results on deeper wrinkles are mixed.

- Liked: Deep hydration (mostly mentioned)
- Liked: Non-greasy texture (often mentioned)
- Disliked: Strong fragrance (often mentioned)
- Liked: Good value (sometimes noted)
- Liked: Visible firming (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Deep wrinkle results (sometimes noted)
- Disliked: Skin irritation (rarely noted)
- Disliked: Thick consistency (rarely noted)

## 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

### Why is L'Oreal Revitalift Night Cream a weak match for oily skin?

This cream is a weak match for oily skin because it contains mineral oil and paraffin, which can clog pores and make oily shine worse. A moisturizing treatment for oily skin needs lightweight hydrating agents and peptides without heavy oils to manage shine and maintain a clear complexion.

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

This cream is a weak match for oily skin because it contains mineral oil and paraffin, which can clog pores and make oily shine worse. A product of this type needs lightweight hydrating ingredients and peptides that manage moisture without heavy oils or breakout risks.

### What does Pro-Retinol A do for oily skin?

Pro-Retinol A helps keep oily skin clear and smooth by regulating how skin cells shed, which prevents pores from clogging. It is unlikely to cause severe irritation when used as directed, but oily skin still needs ingredients that balance oil and soothe potential dryness.

### What does Stimuplex do for oily skin?

Stimuplex is unlikely to help oily skin because it does not provide the oil-reducing benefits and ingredients that this skin type needs to stay calm and clear, such as plant extracts that control sebum or salicylic acid to clear pores.

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

This cream is a weak match for your oily skin because mineral oil and paraffin can clog pores and worsen shine. Oily skin needs a lightweight moisturizer with oil-free hydration and ingredients that balance oil without heavy waxes.

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

This heavy cream is a weak fit for oily skin because ingredients like mineral oil and paraffin can clog pores and worsen shine. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free moisturizers with balancing and hydrating ingredients like niacinamide, salicylic acid, and hyaluronic acid.

### How often should I use this cream?

This cream is a weak match for oily skin because ingredients like mineral oil can clog pores and worsen shine. Oily skin needs lightweight, oil-free hydrators and balancing ingredients to stay clear and fresh.

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

This cream is a weak match for oily skin because it contains mineral oil and paraffin, which can clog pores and make oily shine worse. An oily skin type needs lightweight, oil-free hydrators and balancing ingredients that control excess oil without heavy waxes.

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

This cream is generally too heavy for the thin skin around the eyes due to heavy oils, but it may be used on the body for extra moisture. For oily skin, a product of this type needs lightweight hydrators and pore-clearing ingredients rather than heavy mineral oils.
Sources: [Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 2002](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12375070/)

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

It has no drying alcohol and contains fragrance (benzyl alcohol, benzyl salicylate, linalool, geraniol, citronellol, and limonene). Cetyl alcohol, stearyl alcohol, and myristyl alcohol are fatty alcohols, which soften the skin.
